Sacks just dropped truth bombs about Trump’s first 100 days that the media won’t touch.
Let’s get into it.
Sacks just dropped truth bombs about Trump’s first 100 days that the media won’t touch.
Let’s get into it.
Before getting into Trump’s policy wins, David Sacks opened up about a side project he’s been working on—a private, Trump-aligned social club in Washington, D.C.
Not a typical D.C. clubhouse filled with lobbyists and press. This one is for the new Republican movement.
A space for people who align with Trump’s vision—far from the old guard and the media echo chamber.
“We just——we want a place to hang out in DC,” Sacks said.
He explained that he’s been inspired by exclusive clubs like The Battery in San Francisco or Malibu’s Beach House and Bird Streets Club. They’re modern, curated, and designed for people who actually want to connect—not posture.
“All of us have been to clubs like the battery or I don't know if you go to L.A.——there's Malibu Beach House or Bird Streets Club,” he said.
Washington, by comparison, feels stuck in time.
“In any event, we wanted a place to hang out and the the clubs that exist in Washington today have been around for decades,” he said.
“They're kind of old and stuffy. To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be like more Bush era Republicans as opposed to Trump era Republicans. So we wanted to create something new, hipper, and Trump-aligned.”
But the real purpose goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about creating a trusted space—where members don’t have to worry about being spied on, recorded, or undermined by people who don’t share their values.
“We want a place to go where you don't have to worry that the next person over at the bar is a fake news reporter or even a lobbyist or something like that, who we don't know and we don't trust.”

That theme of trust carried right into what Sacks sees as Trump’s biggest win in his first 100 days: the border.
For years, border security felt like a political football—debated endlessly but rarely addressed. Sacks said Trump has already done what critics claimed was impossible.
“I think you have to give the administration an A-plus on this,” he said.
In his view, the crisis that dominated headlines for years is over.
“They’ve completely stopped the border crisis.”
Most people expected some progress. But Sacks admitted that even he didn’t think it would happen this fast.
“I don’t think we would have predicted the border would be completely sealed.”
Under Biden, he said, the problem was either ignored or dismissed. Americans were told the footage of caravans was cherry-picked or exaggerated. When the issue couldn’t be denied anymore, Democrats blamed it on legal limitations.
“All of that was just gaslighting,” Sacks said.
Trump proved that no new laws were needed—just a change in leadership. He brought back Remain in Mexico, enforced policies already on the books, and dramatically cut illegal crossings.
As Sacks put it, Trump summed it up in his State of the Union address: “We didn’t need a new law. We just needed a new president.”

Next, Sacks pointed to a cultural shift that’s happened just as quickly—maybe even faster.
He described a dramatic reversal around woke ideology and DEI initiatives, which had dominated institutions just months ago.
“Area number two, I would say would be the vibe shift in the culture around wokeism and DEI.”
Corporate boardrooms, college campuses, and government agencies were all deep in it. But suddenly, the tide has turned.
“You know, how quickly we forget about this, but wokeism has completely collapsed. I don't know that anyone is endorsing in a full throated way.”
Sacks credited Trump with ending DEI programs at the federal level and rolling back policies like “disparate impact” in affirmative action.
“I think all of that now is fallen by the wayside. And I think that meritocracy and colorblindness are back.”
Even he didn’t expect the shift to be so fast or so total.
“I think if any of us had tried to predict that 100 days ago, we would have thought, yes, Trump will do something about it, but I don't think we would have predicted the total collapse of wokeism and DEI so quickly.”

Then came the third major accomplishment: the economy.
Sacks described what he sees as the beginning of a major economic reset—what he called the “reprivatization of the economy.”
“Then I'd say the third area, which is still in flight, is the reprivatization of the economy.”
The phrase came from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Sacks said it captures the scale of what Trump is trying to do.
“I think that the Trump administration needs to re-privatize the economy, and I like that framing of it.”
At the center of it all is DOGE—the Department of Government Efficiency. Its mission: cut the waste, trim the fat, and shrink the swollen federal bureaucracy.
“I'd say number one is DOGE, again ending this hog wallow government spending.”
Sacks said the Biden administration had pumped trillions into the economy, propping it up with artificial numbers and unsustainable government hiring.
“And we knew that that spending was unsustainable. We have to do something about it.”
Trump didn’t just talk about it. His administration has already started slashing federal jobs and reining in spending.
“We've actually started to make real cuts in government, real cuts in the federal workforce. And look, we'd like to do more, but that is a huge shift in the conversation.”
And that’s just the beginning. Deregulation is happening across the board—from energy and crypto to artificial intelligence.
“President Trump has signed a significant number of executive orders on deregulation,” Sacks said.
“He ended Biden's EV mandate… and a lot of these like green new scam projects, offshore wind. And he's been encouraging oil and gas exploration.”
He continued: “We did repeal Biden's exact order on AI, which was, you know, 100 pages of unnecessary regulation on AI.”
Crypto’s also back on the table.
“We’ve ended the war on crypto, and I think we’re trying to stop the regulatory capture that benefits large incumbents.”
It’s still early, Sacks admitted, but the momentum is building.
“I do think that this sets us up for a Trump boom in the future. It's just that a lot of these changes take time to play out.”

Just when the conversation around Trump’s wins eemed to be winding down, Chamath jumped in with something unexpected—and deeply personal.
He shared a moment from a private dinner with Trump that, as he put it, reminded him exactly why he voted for him.
Trump had talked about his uncle, who once warned him about the dangers of nuclear weapons.
It stuck with him—and Chamath.
Trump explained his stance on the war in Ukraine with a simple but powerful statement: “This is why I'm so fundamentally against this thing.”
Chamath said it hit him hard.
“It is so easy to forget that there’s only one existential risk——where all these issues become fringe issues,” he said.
In that moment, everything else—trade, immigration, economic policy—felt secondary. Trump was focused on avoiding nuclear war. That clarity mattered.
“And I was like, I am so glad this guy’s in charge, because this one issue, he never wavers.”
He contrasted that steadiness with what he felt under Biden.
“This was where my biggest issue with Biden was, was I did not know who was in control.”
But now, with Trump back in office, Chamath said the contrast couldn’t be clearer.
“In the first hundred days—has reinforced that there are no conditions under which he'll go to war. He has time and time again, showed, find the off ramp. And I think that that's really healthy for Americans to see.”
