🧠 Trump’s Inner Circle EXPOSED: Who’s Pulling the Strings? Welcome to Mindblowers — with Lars Tvede and Daniel Kafer. In this Part One episode, we uncover the real power behind Trump’s administration—a tight circle of billionaires, strategists, and tech visionaries who are shaping America’s future from the shadows. 💥 These aren’t politicians. They’re architects of ideology, tech revolutionaries, and economic disruptors driving the future of AI, global power, and America’s new role in the world. 🎯 In this episode, we break down: • Peter Thiel – Silicon Valley’s ultimate insider-turned-outsider. Philosopher, investor, kingmaker—and the spider at the center of the web. • David Sacks – Former PayPal COO turned high-level government advisor, now guiding America’s AI and tech policy. • Vivek Ramaswamy – Biotech billionaire and cultural warrior, pushing for a total overhaul of the bureaucratic state. • Scott Bessent – Trump’s Finance Minister and hedge fund strategist bringing Wall Street precision to government policy. • Howard Lutnick – Wall Street powerbroker with deep influence in financial restructuring and private capital. • J.D. Vance – Senator, best-selling author, and rising star in the MAGA movement with real influence in D.C. • Elon Musk – Not just a business icon—now a major figure shaping defense, infrastructure, and federal tech strategy. • Palmer Luckey – Defense tech pioneer and Oculus founder, building AI-era military systems quietly powering the administration’s future plans. 🧭 This is Part One of our series: We’ll return in a few days with Part Two, diving deeper into Elon Musk, David Sacks, Palmer Luckey, and more of the key minds behind America’s 2025 transformation. ⚠️ Important note: The Mindblowers Podcast neither supports nor opposes the current U.S. administration. We see both opportunity and risk. Our goal is to go deeper—to understand who really holds power, and how it shapes our future. 👇 Comment below: Which name surprised you the most?
