Inside Trump's Head

Why Trump’s White House Is About to Get Very Ugly

2026-11-01

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.
