Summary

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another dizzying week inside Donald Trump’s orbit, from the strange logic behind his Iran strike to the growing MAGA backlash that’s rattling the White House. As Trump pushes a controversial voting law he believes could secure victory in November, Wolff explains the “reality distortion” at the center of Trump’s decision-making—and why the former president still assumes he’ll get exactly what he wants. Meanwhile, tensions explode inside Trump’s own coalition over war, immigration crackdowns spark political panic among Republicans, and an unexpected primary battle becomes a test of Trump’s grip on the MAGA base. Plus, a rare Melania sighting, Wolff’s unfolding lawsuit drama, and the theory that Trump’s latest moves may be about distracting from the Epstein files. Learn more about your ad choices.
