Share a prediction on America's future for a chance to be featured on The Daily Beast Podcast: https://beast.pub/america250 #ad Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles reveal why the cracks inside Donald Trump's inner circle may be growing faster than anyone realizes, from Melania Trump's increasingly distant relationship with the president to the private negotiations reportedly required for her rare public appearances. They also explore how Trump's personal grudges continue to shape White House decisions, why his Middle East strategy risks becoming the very kind of forever war he once promised to avoid, and how resistance from Republican senators could complicate his agenda heading into the midterms. Along the way, they discuss J.D. Vance's long-term ambitions, shifting power dynamics inside the Republican Party, and why Trump's second presidency may already be entering a very different and far more unpredictable phase.
