Why Cornered Trump Is In Full Iran Denial Mode

from The Daily Beast Podcast · host The Daily Beast, Joanna Coles

Anthony Scaramucci joins Joanna Coles to explain why he believes Donald Trump knows his Iran strategy has failed—even as he doubles down in public—and why the White House is increasingly driven by one man's instincts rather than any real decision-making process. Drawing on his time inside Trump's inner circle, Scaramucci unpacks the psychology behind Trump's denial, the hidden panic among administration officials, why Democrats still haven't found a candidate capable of taking on the MAGA movement, and why the culture war continues to overshadow the economy. He also reveals which Democrat he believes has the best shot at winning the presidency, why Wall Street still leans Republican, and why both parties are failing to connect with the voters who will decide America's future.
