The Bulwark: Trump Is Nodding Off in the Meetings That Run the World

[marmar]

Jun 16, 2026 The Next Level with Sarah, Tim and JVL

JVL, Sarah Longwell, and Tim Miller discuss the Iran "deal" that isn't really a deal—a memorandum of understanding that lifts sanctions immediately and hands Iran $300 billion while punting everything else down the road. Then: the war hawks who drummed up the Iran war—Thiessen, Graham, Levin, the WSJ editorial board — are repositioning and refusing to say they were wrong. Plus: Trump's accelerating decline, the corruption behind the White House UFC fight, and why Trump's DOJ will open a federal investigation on every 2028 Democratic nominee regardless of who it is.

1. Is his napping

perhaps a good thing for everyone? His horrible ME-ME-ME rambles are silent when he's napping.

2. Nod off and SOD OFF ya fat fuck

Permanently.

3. The G7 crowd seem to be humoring him

Like your 90 year old racist uncle on Thanksgiving. He is coming off as beyond weak, more like pathetic at this point. They don't fear him, and know he's fading from importance.

4. Know what will wake up Dump?

A bowl of mashed potatoes on his head.
Just ask Mary Trump.
