About this episode

Sarah Ewall-Wice joins Joanna Coles to analyze the growing panic inside Trump’s Washington as Republicans head toward the midterms with the President’s brand increasingly looking like political poison. They dig into Karoline Leavitt’s sudden White House exit, Trump’s obsession with being his own best spokesperson, the mystery surrounding Barron Trump amid security threats, and the very different ways his children are handling life in the presidential spotlight. They also examine why Trump plans to skip the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 memorial, the questions surrounding his stamina and health, and the Republican candidates quietly scrubbing Trump from their campaigns. As affordability, inflation, the Iran war, and the Canada trade fight threaten to overwhelm the GOP, Sarah reveals why Republicans on the ground are increasingly distancing themselves from the President—and why Trump’s bizarre distractions, from renaming lakes to remodeling Washington, may be a sign of just how desperate things have become.
