I Know How Trump Will Make Things Uglier: Wolff

About this episode

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to discuss the chaotic state of the Trump administration amidst significant political events.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect a White House in visible disarray, tracing a week where Donald Trump basks in the glow of a royal visit he barely understands while King Charles III delivers a devastatingly elegant rebuke—uniting Congress, charming the room, and exposing a stark contrast in leadership that may linger through the midterms. Wolff argues Trump misses the insult entirely, even as his administration spirals: looming firings, a farcical indictment of James Comey, a ballooning Hormuz crisis choking global oil markets, and a wildly unpopular White House ballroom project that feels like a metaphor for overreach. As Trump doubles down—on vengeance, on war, on spectacle—the question isn’t whether the warning signs are visible, but whether he’s capable of seeing them at all. Learn more about your ad choices.
