The ‘Real Ways’ MAGA Is Now Breaking With Trump
Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect Trump’s euphoric “victory tour” of the Middle East, where he cast himself as a global peacemaker while ignoring protests and chaos at home.

Both wonder why the “no kings” protests aren’t aimed at Epstein and the powerful men who enabled him. As his self-image balloons beyond control, Joanna and Michael ask: has Trump’s triumphalism become its own form of delusion? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Real Reason Trump Lost It Over TIME Magazine Cover
