Why Manic Trump Is in His ‘Crazy Uncle’ Era: Wolff

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

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine a White House that suddenly looks far less invincible, as Donald Trump lashes out at Republican senators, alienates allies he desperately needs, and faces growing signs that even the MAGA movement is beginning to question his leadership. They unpack Tucker Carlson's remarkable break with Trump, why JD Vance may be quietly positioning himself for what comes next, the political fallout from the Iran conflict, Pete Hegseth's shake-up of America's military leadership, and the surprising rise of Zohran Mamdani's influence inside the Democratic Party. From Trump's increasingly erratic behavior to the shifting alliances forming around him, this episode traces the cracks spreading through both parties as the 2028 race begins to take shape.
