Why Trump’s Now Losing on a ‘Daily Basis’: Wolff

About this episode

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles discuss the unraveling of Donald Trump's political project amidst various challenges.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into what Wolff argues is the beginning of a dramatic unraveling of Donald Trump’s political project, tracing how the fallout from the Iran conflict, slipping poll numbers, congressional resistance, and growing fractures inside the Republican Party are exposing deeper weaknesses in Trump’s leadership. Along the way, they unpack Trump’s relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the blame game unfolding inside the administration, the chaos surrounding CBS News and 60 Minutes under its new ownership, the strange politics of California’s governor’s race, and the enduring role of scandal, ego, and media power in shaping American politics.
