The week started with a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump about the death of Hollywood director Rob Reiner that drew backlash from within his own party. Then, a high-profile Vanity Fair profile of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles revealed her disparaging assessments of the president’s Cabinet. And it’s unclear if the fast-paced, campaign-style remarks from the White House achieved Trump’s goal of reconnecting with voters on the economy. So how is the White House dealing with these divisions on the right?  Host Colby Itkowitz sits down with Dan Merica, co-anchor of the Early Brief newsletter, and White House reporter Natalie Allison to recap it all. Today’s show was produced by Charla Freeland and Josh Carroll. It was edited by Reena Flores with help from Martine Powers and mixed by Sean Carter.  Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
