As Trump’s erratic outbursts accelerate, from late-night social media rants to bizarre public encounters and escalating threats tied to a war he can’t control, Wolff argues the guardrails may already be gone. Against the backdrop of a faltering economy, a dangerous crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and mounting pressure ahead of the midterms, Wolff frames what he sees as the defining story right now: The slow eclipse of Trump, and a far more urgent question, whether anyone has the power to act before it’s too late.
