About this episode

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to analyze a White House increasingly defined by self-inflicted constraint. At the center is the escalating Hormuz crisis, where Trump’s aggressive posture collides with the realities of this critical global chokepoint and the strategic blowback it’s incurring. Which comes as MAGA coalition fractures widen: Tucker Carlson breaks publicly over foreign policy, RFK Jr. stumbles through repeated hearings while defending unpopular anti-vax positions, and key officials scramble to distance themselves from decisions they helped shape. The throughline is an administration in which impulse destroys strategy, and in which Trump’s own style of decision-making increasingly functions less as power and more as a self laid trap.
