## Resource

Steve Schmidt returns to the "Daily Beast" podcast to unload a blistering critique of Donald Trump, King Charles III, and the global political order they’re reshaping, arguing the King’s U.S. visit is not just ill-timed, but a historic moral failure tied to Trump’s assaults on democracy and alliances. Speaking to Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty, Schmidt connects the dots from royal controversies and Jeffrey Epstein to Trump’s late-night social media tirades and questions about his mental fitness, warning of a dangerous erosion of institutional checks at the highest level of power. He predicts a political collapse for MAGA, a brutal electoral reckoning, and an internal unraveling fueled by conspiracy and infighting, while also torching both Republican complicity and Democratic weakness.
