Trump Is Fading and His Staff Knows It: Rothkopf

Save 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://honeylove.com/DAILYBEAST ! #honeylovepod David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to assess what he describes as a visibly weakening Trump presidency, with intelligence sources warning of mounting instability inside the White House.
