Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to reveal how an uncanny Trump press conference with Mamdani became the lens through which the president’s most disorienting week came into focus. Wolff walks Joanna through why Trump’s sudden, deferential “my son” routine—and the blank, searching look in his eyes—sent aides into whispered 25th-Amendment territory. Together they trace how that moment collided with a White House already rattled by unexplained mood swings, legal chaos, and the latest Epstein-file tremors reverberating through Trumpworld. The result is a portrait of a president losing the script just as the world, and his party, is demanding he stick to it.
