Summary
Save 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://honeylove.com/DAILYBEAST ! #honeylovepod David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to assess what he describes as a visibly weakening Trump presidency, with intelligence sources warning of mounting instability inside the White House. Rothkopf argues Trump is “fading” physically and politically as crises escalate abroad—from Iran tensions to the Strait of Hormuz—and pressure builds at home over policy, polling, and party loyalty. Rothkopf examines a strained cabinet, shifting Republican loyalties, and public fractures emerging even among Trump’s strongest allies. As figures like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth are pulled into increasingly exposed roles, Rothkopf asks whether the system around Trump is starting to hedge—and whether MAGA itself is entering a period of quiet unraveling.
