Episode This Is RFK Jr.'s Explosive Plot for Power
Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into another astonishing week inside Donald Trump’s head, analyzing the president’s fixation on image—from his infamous hair to a controversial White House helipad—as they reveal how performance continues to shape his presidency. They examine why Trump refuses to abandon embattled allies, how blame for the Iran crisis is already shifting inside his administration, and why Pete Hegseth may be heading toward the same fate as past loyalists. The conversation also explores RFK Jr.’s surreal new cooking show, the politics of conspiracy and wellness, the scramble among cabinet members already positioning themselves for 2028, and what a pivotal Democratic primary could signal about the future of political campaigning. Wolff offers fresh insight into Trump’s mindset, his obsession with control, and the growing sense that fear of him is giving way to ridicule in ways that could reshape the political landscape.
