Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.com/dailybeast with promo code dailybeast. #ad Michael Wolff and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty unpack Trump’s chaotic China trip and the increasingly surreal inner workings of his orbit, from Xi Jinping visibly outmaneuvering a diminished Trump on the world stage to the bizarre cast of loyalists, tech billionaires, and media personalities surrounding him abroad. Wolff argues that Trump’s mental decline is no longer possible to ignore, pointing to his overnight Truth Social rants, escalating paranoia, and what aides privately fear is behavior spinning further out of control, while Dougherty details why even major media outlets are finally starting to acknowledge it. The conversation also turns to the growing instability inside the administration itself, including Kash Patel’s mounting controversies at the FBI, RFK Jr.’s increasingly alarming role in public health, and the quiet panic spreading among Trump insiders as scandals, firings, and public humiliations pile up behind the scenes. 00:00 - Trump’s Alarming Mental Decline 04:47 - Xi Jinping Plays Trump on the World Stage 09:58 - China Trip Entourage: Musk, Tech CEOs and Brett Ratner 14:52 - Trump’s Dismissal of Inflation and Contempt for Voters 19:41 - Why Trump’s Political Damage Never Seems to Stick 24:03 - Obama Treason Posts and Trump’s Overnight Truth Social Rants 28:55 - Media Finally Reacts to Trump’s Mental Decline Signals 32:05 - RFK Jr., Anti-Vax Politics and White House Panic 37:02 - Trump Team Fear Over RFK Jr. Becoming a Liability 41:06 - Growing Anxiety Around Chaos Inside Trump World #trump #news #podcast ?
