I Know Why Trump Is in His Shameless Cash Grab Era | Inside Trump's Head

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack into a week of chaos inside the Trump White House, from a failed attempt to push through what Wolff calls an unprecedented political “grift” to Trump’s growing frustration over a war he can’t seem to escape. They unpack reports of a furious showdown with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the surprising rise of loyalists with little traditional experience, the mounting political cost of RFK Jr.’s influence, and new questions surrounding Trump’s health as speculation swirls around his recent medical visits. Along the way, Wolff shares a remarkable campaign-trail story involving Jeffrey Epstein’s former plane, reveals why Trump may care more about controlling the Republican Party than winning elections, and examines the latest controversy surrounding Melania Trump’s past, offering a revealing look at the obsessions, grievances, and calculations driving the president’s decisions behind closed doors. 00:00 - Trump’s Grifter Playbook Exposed 05:01 - Republicans Start Pushing Back 09:35 - Trump’s Midterm Control Obsession 14:05 - Cognitive Health Questions Grow 18:35 - Golf, Ego and the Presidency 23:08 - Trump’s Dark Fantasies and Decline 27:52 - Republican Resistance Begins to Form 32:25 - Tulsi Out, Loyalty Picks In 36:55 - Military Promotions and Culture Wars 41:44 - Melania, Epstein and New Allegations 47:17 - Sex Scandals, Power and Politics 51:34 - Final Thoughts and Sign-Off #trump #news #podcast 📖 Title: I Know Why Trump Is in His Shameless Cash Grab Era 👂 Podcast: Inside Trump's Head  📺 Episode: 120 🎧 Format:  Full Podcast 📅 Date: June 2, 2026 🎙️ Hosts: Joanna Coles, Michael Wolff Click here to become an official member of the Daily Beast's YouTube community: https://youtube.com/@TheDailyBeast/join Have a question or comment for us?
