## Resource

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into the unraveling chaos surrounding Donald Trump’s latest political gambles, from the shocking rise of scandal-plagued Texas firebrand Ken Paxton to mounting questions about Trump’s health after yet another visit to Walter Reed. Rothkopf tears into MAGA’s “doubling down” strategy as polls collapse, Trump allies turn on each other, and the White House transforms into what he calls a gaudy monument to excess with a $60 million UFC spectacle on the South Lawn. The conversation veers from Trump’s physical decline and Jeff Bezos’ defense of the administration to the fallout from America’s escalating Iran crisis, stalled oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and fears that the country is becoming dangerously weaker on every front.
