Summary
David Rothkopf speaks with Joanna Coles as Donald Trump heads into a high-stakes NATO summit under a cloud of controversy, after personally intervening in an international soccer dispute that critics say has tainted America's biggest match on the world stage. They unpack the growing panic among America's allies, why European leaders are quietly preparing for a future without Washington, and the extraordinary behind-the-scenes maneuvering surrounding Trump before he even lands overseas. Along the way, David and Joanna dive into the mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's disappearance from public view, Trump's late-night Truth Social posting sprees, mounting questions about corruption, the SAVE Act, and whether Republicans are increasingly relying on procedural tactics to hold onto power. They also examine what Trump's work ethic, White House culture, and obsession with image reveal about the state of his presidency.
