How Trump's Rock-Bottom Will Only Get Worse: Wolff

In their 100th episode Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles mark the milestone by diving into a presidency they describe as veering into chaos—where a muddled, potentially deepening war meets wildly inconsistent messaging, and figures like Pete Hegseth are pushed out front to sell narratives that don’t match reality. They unpack how Donald Trump’s solo decision-making has led to a costly, open-ended conflict now entangled in the Strait of Hormuz, while back in Washington RFK Jr.’s anti-vax messaging threatens to weigh Republicans down even further. Layered on top: a surreal showdown with the Pope, allies quietly breaking ranks, and Trump fixating on legacy projects as pressure mounts from every direction. Learn more about your ad choices.
