Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive headfirst into the chaos consuming Donald Trump’s world—from the unraveling Iran conflict and Trump’s desperate declarations of “victory” to the political panic spreading from Washington to Westminster. Wolff compares Trump’s crumbling Middle East strategy to his increasingly performative marriage with Melania, while Coles unpacks how Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow is now destabilizing British politics and weakening Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two also dissect Trump’s obsession with revenge, the bizarre loyalty he still commands inside the Republican Party, and the surreal spectacle of Usha Vance and Cheryl Hines starring in what may be the most uncomfortable political podcast ever created. Along the way: Rudy Giuliani’s tragic downfall, RFK Jr.’s increasingly strained marriage, Trump’s looming China trip, and the growing sense that the people orbiting Trump always end up paying the price.
