Why Trump's Boundless Ego Is Sabotaging Him: Wolff

Paglalarawan

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into a week that may reveal the limits of Donald Trump’s political dominance, from being loudly booed at a packed Knicks playoff game to turning the White House lawn into a UFC spectacle for his birthday celebration. Wolff argues that Trump’s drive to stamp his name on everything—from sports to immigration to the World Cup—is creating a growing list of political liabilities that now point directly back to him, while Coles recounts seeing firsthand how little attention Trump commanded inside Madison Square Garden. The pair also unpack Trump’s combative Meet the Press interview, RFK Jr.’s mysterious absence from governing while building a potential post-Trump movement, JD Vance’s positioning for the future, Kash Patel’s loyalty tests inside the administration, and the emerging Republican battles that could shape 2028. Along the way, Wolff offers a revealing look at how Trump’s inner circle survives by managing his impulses, and why the president’s inability to recognize mistakes may be the defining story of his second term.
