Summary

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the MAGA civil war — Trump losing his grip, right-wing influencers turning on each other, and the 2028 power struggle already accelerating.

And finally, they unpack Michelle Obama’s tough-love message for Democrats — and what it means for the party’s future bench. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.  Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.
