Summary

Bloomberg's Tim O’Brien joins Charlie Sykes to unpack a whirlwind week in politics, from Trump’s business entanglements—including a dubious new mobile phone venture—to his rage-fueled media attacks after mixed intelligence on Iran. They explore how Trump’s blending of public power and private profit continues unchecked, and why it's reshaping the presidency in dangerous ways. Plus, the pair dive into the fallout from New York’s mayoral primary, growing Democratic fractures, and how the GOP is poised to weaponize progressive wins.
