Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles head into the midterms with a look at the fights gathering around Donald Trump. Wolff shares an update on his legal battle with Melania Trump, then the hosts turn to former Trump lawyer Alina Habba’s reported $50 million deal and her clash with Trump over money and influence. Wolff argues that the dispute could be an early sign of a wider scramble among people close to the president. They also size up vulnerable MAGA candidates, ask whether falling Fox News ratings signal trouble for Trump and consider what Tuesday’s results could mean for his grip on the Republican Party. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look inside a White House bracing for the midterms, where losing the House may be expected but losing the Senate could put nearly everyone around Trump in danger. Wolff describes how election night could unfold inside the residence, why Susie Wiles and Attorney General Todd Blanche may be especially exposed and why Natalie Harp appears to be the one aide whose job is safe. Then he and Coles make their calls on eight Senate races, including the strange contest in Alaska where two men named Dan Sullivan are on the ballot. They also consider whom Trump would blame for a defeat and why his fixation on other people’s looks reveals so much about how he sees himself. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD #ad INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles debate whether Democrats can take the Senate as the midterms approach, with Wolff predicting a sweeping defeat for Trump and Coles warning that Republican money could still make the difference. They turn to a new House Judiciary Democrats’ report on Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations about their ties to the modeling industry, and ask whether the story will finally affect voters. Wolff also discusses Princes and Thieves, a new book about Jared Kushner’s dealings with Persian Gulf leaders, and says its author contacted him after Kushner threatened legal action. From Elon Musk’s election spending to the money flowing through Trump’s family, they trace what a Democratic Congress might investigate. #ad Go to https://san.com/insidetrumpshead to get the unbiased truth on the stories that matter, only on the Straight Arrow app. Let’s exit the echo chamber.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look at the Republicans’ desperate final stretch before the midterms, starting with a campaign ad so cruel that even members of their own party are recoiling. Why are Donald Trump and JD Vance standing by Vivek Ramaswamy as his attack on Ohio rival Amy Acton backfires? Wolff explains what the uproar reveals about Trump’s faith in a tactic that has worked for him before, while a ballot fight in Alaska raises fresh questions about how far his administration will go to contest a loss. They also turn to Melania Trump’s claim of a humanitarian breakthrough in Ukraine as her husband moves closer to Vladimir Putin, the Republicans beginning to break with Trump over Russia and new allegations involving his former lawyer Alina Habba. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

In this special live show edition of Inside Trump's Head, Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take the stage in Los Angeles to ask what Trump wants from the presidency and what he might do if Democrats win the midterms. Wolff shares what a source close to Trump told him about the president’s staggering financial ambitions, then explains why he believes money drives Trump’s fixation on Vladimir Putin. He and Coles consider how Trump could react to an election defeat, whether he might return to bombing Iran and why Wolff doubts JD Vance can inherit the MAGA movement. The audience brings questions of its own, prompting Wolff to discuss his legal fight with Melania Trump and the unusual place Natalie Harp holds in the president’s inner circle. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look ahead to the morning after the midterms and ask what happens if Donald Trump loses control of Congress. Wolff, who watched Trump’s inner circle confront him with the 2020 results, explains why he believes the president cannot accept a loss and how a defeat could become an excuse to blame Susie Wiles, Mike Johnson and Republicans who kept their distance from him. Coles presses Wolff on a closer, messier result: Could recounts and challenges leave the country in weeks of chaos? They also imagine who will be at Trump’s side as the returns come in, whether he could still surprise his opponents at the ballot box and why Wolff expects him to fight for the spotlight even if Democrats win.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles go inside the chaos of Trump’s White House, where a disastrous press secretary debut, a sudden firing, and Susie Wiles’ uncertain future expose a West Wing running on ego, loyalty, and dysfunction. As Trump’s revolving door of female aides keeps spinning, Wolff explains why even his own chief of staff may be on borrowed time. Plus, Elon Musk is pouring another $300 million into the midterms, raising the stakes in a series of nail-biting Senate races and giving one billionaire extraordinary power over American democracy. With control of Congress hanging in the balance, Wolff and Coles examine the money, the power plays, and the political consequences that could reshape Trump’s presidency.
