Truth of Trump’s Wild Sleepless Nights Exposed | The Daily Beast Podcast

Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty dive into a jaw-dropping investigation revealing Donald Trump’s relentless late-night posting habits—hundreds of Truth Social rants fired off in the dead of night—raising urgent questions about sleep deprivation, decision-making, and what it means for a sitting president navigating war, plummeting polls, and mounting chaos inside his own administration. From the unraveling strategy in Iran and Pete Hegseth’s bruising congressional testimony, to a stunning Trump polling collapse so severe it “broke the chart,” and a live TV meltdown from Trump defender Scott Jennings, the conversation spirals through a presidency under visible strain, where erratic behavior, internal pressure, and political fallout are colliding in real time.
