President Donald Trump made headlines with two speeches this week. First came his sprawling, stream-of-consciousness address in the White House briefing room on Tuesday. Then, his barbed remarks about fellow world leaders at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump concluded the week with a purported deal on America’s future role in Greenland – but it remains unclear what that deal will entail. “A lot of what we've seen from Trump during his political career, but specifically over the last year is … notching the win before the details are worked out,” White House reporter Cleve Wootson said on this week’s episode of the “Post Reports” politics roundtable. “He gets to walk away from Davos saying: I got what I wanted from these European leaders. America has won.” Wootson spoke on the podcast with host Colby Itkowitz and Dan Merica, co-anchor of the politics newsletter The Early Brief. They also talk about the 2026 midterms, and why Democrats are newly optimistic about their chances in the Senate. “The map is not overall very favorable to them,” Colby says, “but they're suddenly looking at it and thinking: We might be able to do this.” Today’s show was produced by Thomas Lu and Josh Carroll. It was edited by Martine Powers and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here. And watch us on YouTube here.

So I actually met Dan I did not know that he was a reporter I met Dan on the basketball court I was guarding him like ten years ago And I play basketball even
though my wife insists that I'm way too old to play still and I hurt my pinky Which people can't see sadly
because it's it's audio,
but no video Show them that pinky and I've been you know and I've been in the group chat talking about how I'm a big guy I have a small pinky and everybody's making fun of it,
but there is a picture on the front of the Washington Post of my injured hand raised asking Donald Trump a question that I immediately sent to the group chat,
like immediately, and they've been talking smack.
Just in case viewers, listeners are wondering,
Cleve was a very good basketball player, still is a very good basketball player.
I will slide you $20 later.
