David Rothkopf, the Daily Beast's Chief Global Affairs Correspondent, joins Joanna Coles to explain why he is convinced history will judge Donald Trump as its most powerful, and biggest, idiot. In a wide-ranging and high-energy conversation, Rothkopf and Coles unpack Trump’s escalating clashes—from the Vatican to Iran—alongside the surreal spectacle of his self-styled “deity” posts and the global consequences of his decision-making. They also dive into the political fallout at home and abroad, including Viktor Orbán’s stunning defeat and what it signals for the future of right-wing populism. It’s a sharp, provocative look at power, instability, and the increasingly bizarre reality shaping global politics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
