What They Won’t Say About Trump’s Health w/ Maggie Haberman
Video Overview & Insights
The New York Times Maggie Haberman joins host Molly to discuss reporting from her new book REGIME CHANGE: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump on the inner workings of Trump’s second-term White House, including heightened scrutiny of an aging president’s health, tighter control of information, and a far less leaky staff culture than in Trump’s first term. Haberman recounts Situation Room meetings over the administration’s handling of the Epstein files, describing internal clashes involving Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, J.D. Vance, Pam Bondi, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as the team struggled with crisis communications, base expectations, and the president’s desire to keep the issue contained. The conversation also explores factional tensions on immigration and tariffs, why loyalty and shared grievances have made staff more disciplined, Wiles’s role in creating a cohesive operation, and the influence of key aides and holdovers—along with figures like Natalie Harp and outside adviser Boris Epshteyn—who shape access and decision-making around the president.Subscribe to Fast Politics and listen 4x a week for interviews just like this on your favorite podcast app: https://episodes.fm/1645614328
How about the health of those immigrants who are being treated like crap in detention and have health problems! How about the health problems of those cuts from SNAP and Medicaid! Sick and damn tired of hearing about Trump’s health crap! Yeah we know the White House isn’t transparent about anything. To hell with Trump’s health crap! He needs to be forced out of office and sent to prison where sadly he’d still get better health care than anyone else especially the Poor! Sick of hearing Trump, Trump, Trump! Just like the first term! Give us a break!

Why did patel go to jail for?
@charlesbartowski1255Name everyone in the room.
@AlvinSallyU should ask Jill about her husband health when he was in the White House, so where is the best kept secret ?
@adrianacanavati8212Well this junk will not make me buy the book. Haberman sits on the information and waits to write a book. I’m cutting this short.
@isabelrogerson5350866 ~ 868 depending on time zone till US Presidential Election 2028 ... then they will ALL be out of the WH🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀
@mijiyoon5575This country is run by insane, evil people.
@kevinlawrence2229Thank you.
@howardsinclair-z9hThere has to be a nursing home somewhere that would make a good home for him.
@clembob8004Zero respect for Maggie and Jonathan—2 grifters among many at NYT who chose self-enrichment over journalistic integrity.
@jakehoule8105I know all you people hate each other but Michael Wolff says HE has sources in the WH.
@josephmooney1265Leticia James campaign wasn’t abnormal. It was the correct messaging. Clearly you’ve never seen a Texas AG run off! It’s always about suing or going after a Democratic Presidency! Just check Bidens term. Paxton sued constantly. So, James wasnt doing anything out of the ordinary when she campaigned, she was acting as an AG going after corruption. Rightfully so!!
@13rzamoraHaberman really sounds like she's "gone native." I've seen this with a lot of print reporters. They have this weirdo admiration for that creep in the White House that makes me mistrust any of their reporting.
@Pack1966Haberman...why didn't you let the American public know way before this? Oh yeah...I forgot...your book is about to drop. Shame on you and Swan.
@ValerieC1409Can you even imagine the type of Caro-esque book that could be put out twenty years from now trying to detail the fraud and corruption this guy did on a daily basis!!🤯
@Personalfinance_10174Maggie Haberman works for Trump. That's why he attacks her very little.
@laurencea900534 puts the "SOOOEY!!!" in sui generis!
@DavidYager-y3kMaggie really wants to sell her book more than anything is what I got from this interview.
@warrenfourie511I would take 80 y/o Biden over this sh¡tshow any day.
@juno_copiaThe media the poor news the enablers news and reporters are the top reason along racist and greed that we are stuck with this this evil magats gov
@bird1751It boggles my mind that anyone can still be a "true believer" in Donald Trump after everything he's done.
@carlinglin7289I think you mean sewerage generous, not sui generis
@pickerrsWho gives a shit….he’s the village idiot…duh..the whole deal is corrupt
@susanvannorden6845It needs to be said every time: half of the Epstein files STILL haven't been released. The cover up continues.
@TheSageThrasherDid I miss the part where Maggie states the fact that Trump himself puts his people in an impossible position because of his misconduct?
Blaming Bondi or Bongino for not getting along without stating the reason they don’t get along is because Trump has lied to the public AND his own staff about everything.
Yikes. The interviewer’s gravely sing song voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Is that fake? She sounds like a Valley girl.
@mariannenapoles146Damn.... Write a book just for money not for helping FIX THE GOVERNMENT ... Seems to be THE WHOLE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! EVERYTHING IS ABOUT GOD-DAMNED MONEY!!!
@pawpawHinterwäldlerOk, Maggie Haberman, you lost me in the first minute and a half of this conversation in talking about Trump's health. 'But Biden was 80 too, though, so you know ... ' Paraphrasing here, but nice gaslighting Maggie. You, Jonathan Swann and Jake Tapper are just a bunch of hacks.
@karendevlin8902Maggie seems to have a lot of respect for the Trump administration. She seems comforted by the loyalty of Trumps acolytes. Her one note samba is getting a bit threadbare.
@ronfrancoisNot a great intro Mollie
@RobvanVlaanderen-c3fNobody normalizes this corrupt and illegal regime as well as Haberman does. She makes all this actual fascism sound so reasonable. Molly, you sullied your reputation by allowing her to get away with it.
@ChernynkayaHaberman is the roommate who answers the door to tell the gentleman… she doesn’t want to see you anymore. With mean face.
@DG65DGSame ppl who lost their shit about every blip in Bidens health are now whitewashing & making excuses.
EFFF all of them.
He’s not just 80 he’s an unhealthy 80. Not a spry “ youthful” 80.
Pleeeeez gawd he’s ready.
Normalizing this administration by Haberman and Swan is so sleazy. And supporting people who were bothered by being investigated for trials. Walt Nauta was upset that he got indicted because he broke the law?
@csikathyWhat's the secret...we are witnessing the rapid decline in real time!
@kyoung4534A lot of us are mad that you sat on this information to put out a book.
@jaclynnwoodworth1620mick jagger is older than taco but in way better shape, and both are getting extraordinary medical treatments which for mick improves his vitality and for taco keeps him looking like he's still alive.
@annsanse2935I don't understand journalists who sit on important information until they get a book deal.
The health of POTUS is everybody concerns.
👎Haberman has shown a lack of journalistic integrity by sitting on essential reporting for book deal personal profits.
@yarnsproutThank You Maggie & Jonathan.
@waltergodsoe5526Thank you for this informative and entertaining conversation, Ms. Haberman and Ms. Jong-Fast!
@charloid0926He's f#cking nuts. Hiw much more if his deadly, costing, insanity?
@BonafideGailPlease hurry grim reaper
@carolflinn9975Trump is ill : mentally and physically and it is obvious to everyone -- globally -- and he is despised. He should NEVER have been allowed to run for a second term after the January 6 insurrection. He should have been arrested immediately and imprisoned as an insurrectionist and traitor to the USA. Had that occurred -- we would not be here.
@annsmith7207Boris Epshtyn's name should always be preceeded by "Moscow-born."
@NikkiArnet-lr7cwHarp amazes me. I quite sure Donald can't read. I also imagine he paid others to get through Wharton. Dyslexics read energy.
@DrNancyLivingCoCreativelyWhy didn’t you talk about Joe Biden’s health? The fool couldn’t walk or talk. He barely knew his name or knew he was President.
@donlittle5655I'm a retired natural health epigeneticist. A doctor online says the rash on his neck could be chemotherapy. He hates camp David but rushed there recently. He could also have had something drained. His energy rose. I call him the world's worst patient.
@DrNancyLivingCoCreativelyYes so now Haberman and her co-author are doing the rounds with that one book. It will be a little bit of excitement for a week or two, and then the excitement will die down. So much has been written about Donald Trump and yet there's one sentence is sufficient to understand the man from top to bottom Donald j Trump is a scammer
