Summary
Description Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look at the extraordinary power dynamics surrounding Donald Trump, beginning with Melania Trump’s increasingly independent role—and how she has managed to monetize the position of First Lady while largely avoiding its traditional obligations. They also examine Trump’s White House ballroom and a Supreme Court decision that may allow construction to continue, the president’s attacks on NBC’s Kristen Welker and the growing fear his administration inspires across the media, and Pete Hegseth’s purge of experienced military leaders at a moment of heightened global danger. Then the conversation turns to an unlikely political flashpoint: data centers, as growing public opposition to their enormous demands for power and water collides with Trump’s fierce support for the AI industry—and his own financial interests.
