No president in our history has weakened us more at home. When Donald Trump leaves office,

enemies here at home. I'm Joanna Coles. This is the Daily Beast podcast. Thank you for your thousands of comments about Inside Trump's Head.

Our new spin-off series where I sit with Michael Wolf and we visit Inside Trump's Head.

We go spalunking with ropes and crampons to find out what's going on in there and it's never what you think it is.

But right now we're going to be talking to David Rothkopf about the meeting with Donald Trump

And Europe sits with baited breath after their meeting with Donald Trump today, where they all sat and discussed

their solutions for what feels like forever war with Russia and Ukraine.

Secondly, Trump really hasn't moved very far in terms of his view of what the outcome should be.

It's kind of still
