Why Trump’s ‘Bimbofication’ Scandal Will Haunt Him | The Daily Beast Podcast - Video

Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty dissect what they call the most chaotic and politically damaging week yet for Donald Trump’s second administration—an unraveling marked by a humiliating Supreme Court showdown over birthright citizenship and a presidency increasingly defined by spectacle over strategy. From a stunned courtroom exit and a judge halting Trump’s vanity White House ballroom, to the abrupt firing of Pam Bondi, Coles and Dougherty trace a pattern of erratic decision-making and institutional strain. Layered on top: a bizarre Homeland Security scandal with national security implications, allies behaving like caricatures, and a White House struggling to project control as oil prices spike and global tensions rise.
