Trump is Using the Iran War to Get Richer (ft. Anthony Scaramucci)

How is the Trump family using the war in Iran, and a collapsed regulatory environment, to enrich themselves? Jessica Tarlov is joined by someone with inside knowledge of how it works in Trump’s orbit — Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director and the founder of SkyBridge Capital. They discuss how the administration is using uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, misdirection around peace talks, and manipulation of prediction markets to extract wealth from the conflict. Plus — Scaramucci explains how it works inside Trump’s head, why there is a corruption problem on both sides of the aisle, and why MAGA voters are able to separate Trump’s campaign promises from the disappointing economic reality.  And, Scaramucci names the Democratic politician who he thinks Trump wants as his successor in the White House.
