This Is Why the World is Humiliating Trump: Wolff
About this episode
Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine why Donald Trump may have stumbled into a new political reality as European leaders stop trying to placate him and begin pushing back instead. They unpack JD Vance's increasingly complicated role in the White House, whether he's positioning himself as Trump's heir or setting himself up to take the blame, and what his new book reveals about ambition, faith, and political reinvention. They also break down Trump's latest clash with Giorgia Meloni, the arrival of the lavish Qatari jet, the strange psychology behind Trump's obsession with status, and why even something as trivial as a chair at the G7 becomes a window into his mindset. Plus, they explore what Trump's reaction to the Obama Library opening says about the rival world he still can't escape, and why vulgarity—not ideology—may be the key to understanding his enduring appeal.
