Executive editor Hugh Dougherty joins Joanna Coles in a livestream to parse another dizzying week in Trump-world: a middle-of-the-night Truth Social rant about the war with Iran that sounds more like a video game than presidential rhetoric, the troubling optics of American troop deaths met with boasts about โunlimited ammunition,โ and a global stageโfrom the G7 to MAGA worldโstruggling to understand what the strategy actually is. They dig into the resurfacing allegation involving a 13-year-old and Donald Trump, and Hugh outlines why this story continues to hang over the presidentโs head. In a week where war, spectacle, and personal mythology blur together, the question hanging over everything is simple: does anyoneโincluding Trump himselfโactually know the plan?

Frankly, trump is a pig. Pittsburgh PA
Hope the audio in the actual podcast will be better than that trailer. Too much reverb.
God! I love Hugh's accent!
There was a typo on Melaniaโs VISA, it was an Epstein, not Einstein VISA.
For goodness sake, Butler was staged, Joanna.
In Filipino culture, getting shoes as gifts from someone is not a good thing. It means that person steps all over you.
Too bad Canadians canโt vote in the midterms.๐
Joanna, it cracks me up every time you do โMelania.โ What a shallow idiot.
You have to understand, he removed Maduro overnight and stole Venezuelan oil. He had a "feeling" Iran would go the same way. The deal was Isreal gets the land and Trump gets the oil. Further, when Trump says "we will get rich on the oil"… he always speaks in the "sovereign we", as he views himself as king. He and his cronies will, no doubt, very very rich on oil, while the rest of us suffer.
Regarding the shoes….I am reminded of Agador Spartacus in The Bird Cage….
America,you believe you are the greatest at everything you do,how did you make a mistake with bombing the school.Deliberate you hate kids even your own.
Didn't Rubio make fun of drumpf's hand size?? Implying he also must have a small penis. This is drumpf's way of getting back at Rubio. Drumpf is disgusting. ๐จ๐ฆ
Huey/Howie is delightful. Joanna and Howie are a good combo on YouTube .
Who got Melania's visa, Trump oe Epstein? ๐๐๐๐
Get to the title now
Can one reporter, one leader, one Anybody, ask this president; Mr President, we know you, the American people know you. We know you lie all the time. Why should anyone believe you?
Too scared? Go to a foreign country and hide in a bunker, then say it.
Who's more weak, the media, congress, the Supreme Court, Corporate Leaders, or the four former Presidents? We need strength, leadership, and courage from all of them.
Remember, Republicans refuse to stand up to anything this president does. They need to stand up for the people in their state, not cower to this President's every whim
Texas Senators, vote them out.
Daily Beast, ask the President this diabolical question, dont you think you should block the Epstein Files?
Netanyahu and Putin have the goods on Trump. They are playing him like a fiddle!!!
I've been waiting for Melania to come to Prime so I could give it a thumbs down. Mission accomplished.
if she settled with trump and maybe even with epstein she canโt talk about it
From Normal, Illinois โค
He is horrific and a disgrace
Listening from Australia.
Weird about the ad-free! I did not click on it but the melania movie was on prime. I clicked away and found I was subscribed to add free! What a racket.
Hi from New Zealand
Por quรฉ ponen a narrar videos al chico del bigote grueso? No se le entiendeโฆ pronuncia mal. Por favorโฆtienen muchos otras personas que lo hacen mejor
Stomping Shoes like Gestapo Boots.
Curious, the baby sitting part sounds dubious, that two wealthy,worldly playboys would use this dangerous, mundane method to find girls. However, there is an old YouTube interview of โKaty Johnsonโ(pseudonym) identical, except her connection with these men via teen modelling service, a much more plausible story when you hear her total interview. She goes uncomfortably into the abuse story in detail. She has since disappeared.
Those shoes are awful
my darlings!
we dont have ''cabinet ministers'' in the WH. theyre called 'the cabinet' or 'cabinet members''
we dont have any ministers cuz we are not a theocracy like the UK that has a 'state religion''
we dont have state religion & why MAGA nuts wants us ALL to be CHRISTIAN OR DIE
There is going to be more of the Crown. Was announced a few days ago.
Love your Scottish accent!
Didnโt Michael Wolf on a past inside Trumpโs head episode. Maybe a month ago, speak of Epstein giving people shoes as a gift. Am I remembering that right?
Hello ๐ Joanna and Huh duet ๐!! Just love your accent, Hugh; . . . . so reminds me of a dear Scottish friend!!!
Don't watch "Melanoma"
cancel your Amazon Prime instead.
At this stage it is a defacto membership to the Nazi party
MELANIA : THE PRINCESS BRIBE
"Courageously avoids specifics"
Operation Epstein fury.
Hi from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Love you Joanna
Israel is why he went to war
Joanna –
FBI would do multiple interviews to further establish credibility. In that world, the more interviews = the more credibility.
Trump is Satins spawn from London Ont. He is disgustin wearing a hat how disrespectful to the Troops and their families. Deepest Sympathy to the families and friends . Thank you for your service.
