Rick Wilson's The Enemies List

• Trump is Starving His Own Base

  While Donald Trump’s Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago made headlines for its gold-plated excess, millions of Americans are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries. As the nation faces rising prices, budget cuts, and shrinking safety nets, Trump’s luxury pageantry couldn’t feel more out of touch. Rick Wilson unpacks how Trump’s detachment from economic reality, his austerity policies, and his performative cruelty have deepened America’s empathy crisis. in the Lincoln Square community on Substack today for unparalleled insights, expert commentary, and news from your favorite pro-democracy voices.

• The House That Trump Broke

  Donald Trump has literally torn down a piece of America to build himself a dance floor. In this week’s Rick Wilson's The Enemies List Podcast, Rick skewers the Trump East Wing demolition 2025, a $300 million White House ballroom project that turned history into dust and proved—once again—that the worst president in history can’t resist wrecking anything he touches. From bulldozing the People’s House to funding a gilded shrine to his own ego, Trump’s final renovation stunt shows how power, greed, and vanity have replaced leadership, integrity, and the rule of law. Rick pulls no punches as he dissects the symbolism of the White House controversy, the rot of MAGA corruption, and why Trump’s legacy will be remembered not in marble, but in rubble.

• The Kids Aren’t Alt-Right, They’re Just Nazis

  This week, Rick Wilson dives into one of the ugliest political scandals in years — the Young Republican National Federation group chat that revealed a cesspool of hate, racism, and wannabe authoritarian cosplay. In thousands of leaked messages obtained by Politico, state-level GOP leaders joked about gas chambers, Hitler, slavery, and rape -- and revealed the moral rot at the core of a generation raised on grievance politics and Fox News. These aren’t fringe trolls — these are elected aides, campaign managers, and state chairs, the so-called “future” of the Republican Party. Rick unpacks how figures like Peter Giunta, Bobby Walker, Samuel Douglass, Brianna Douglass, Joe Maligno, Alex Dwyer, Annie Kaykaty, Luke Mosiman, William Hendrix, and others went from “rising stars” to radioactive cautionary tales faster than you can say “delete your chat.”  Rick was told that this chat is the tip of the iceberg and that there's a "Legislative Staff Chat" in the House that's 100x worse. It's out there somewhere, so if anyone wants to leak it, you can contact [email protected].

• Shutdown Circus Meets Quantico Silence

  Trump shut down the government, then tried to hand Democrats the bill like a drunk guy bailing on dinner. Spoiler: nobody’s buying it. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth waddled into Quantico expecting a standing ovation and got the sound of crickets filing a noise complaint. Two disasters, one week — and Rick’s got the receipts. About The Enemies List: American democracy is being threatened, and Rick Wilson knows exactly who is responsible. In each episode, Rick calls out those who are the enemies of democracy and exposes their treachery- because sunlight is the best disinfectant.

• James Comey: The First of Many?

  This week’s bombshell: the DOJ, under Trump’s direction, indicted James Comey—a former FBI director long critical of Trump—for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing oversight. To get it done, Trump purged the existing U.S. Attorney in Virginia and elevated Lindsey Halligan, a political operative turned prosecutor overnight. Within minutes of the indictment, Comey’s son-in-law—then serving as a national security prosecutor in the same office—resigned, citing his oath to the Constitution. Trump publicly celebrated the move, said “justice in America” is being served, and warned that Comey may not be the last enemy prosecuted. In this episode, Rick examines how this unprecedented case exposes the DOJ's transformation into a political weapon, the Hill backlash, and the chilling implications for the rule of law.
