Donald Trump Is Doing Everything Possible to Destroy Himself

Donald Trump’s end is going to happen. We’re seeing it now. Below the surface of his anger, threats, and bloviation, it’s all coming apart: national fury over the economy, the war, his grift, masked men in the streets, his defacing of Washington, D.C. And, of course, there are his terrible, ever-sinking poll numbers. DOWNFALL is a new series on HOWL on Substack. It will be a regular report on the aggression, incompetence, and self-destructiveness that is sinking Trump. This, of course, does not mean that Trump ceases to be dangerous. The more threatened he is, the more dangerous he becomes. If you’re a student of Trump absurdity—and who isn’t at this point—DOWNFALL is a running portrait of a kind of logic and behavior never before seen in American politics. It is, too, a literal death watch, as the 80-year-old, obese, sleepless, unfit man, consuming his mortal fast-food diet and overdose of aspirin, seems to do everything possible to kill himself. DOWNFALL is also about what terrible things Trump will do as fate closes in on him. He doesn’t retreat; he doesn’t course correct; he only doubles down. There is the public drama. DOWNFALL is the backstage account. I hope you’ll join me.

Don’t watch the collapse from the outside. Subscribe to Michael Wolff’s HOWL on Substack for regular DOWNFALL updates, fueled by up-to-the-minute conversations with the people closest to Trump.

Collin Gosselin, the former child star of the TLC reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8, is releasing a memoir in which he promises to expose the real stories behind the camera. He said that writing his book, Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, forced him to “revisit some of the hardest moments of my life.” Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired on TLC for 10 years, from 2007 to 2017, following the couple and their eight children, turning into Kate Plus 8 after the couple’s divorce in 2009. The memoir is set to reveal shocking events from Collin’s life, including stories about “being held down, the basement cell where he was hidden for years, and the cocktail of powerful antipsychotics forced on an 11-year-old boy.” In an Instagram post announcing the release of the book, Collin writes that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to tell his side of the story and was worried people wouldn’t believe him, ”but there was so much [viewers of the show] never saw.” After the divorce, all of the children were in Kate’s custody until Jon was granted full custody of Collin in 2018. Collin has alleged that Kate abused him, while Kate has denied those claims and instead accused Collin of “physical violence” and “hate speech.”

Getting solid sleep feels like a real luxury these days. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, if you’ve been struggling with getting shut-eye, you’re not alone. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 73 percent of respondents reported getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night, and 57 percent said they would feel better if they got more sleep.

Whether prescription or over-the-counter, most sleep aids can help you knock out, but often come with less-than-ideal side effects, such as next-morning grogginess and brain fog. CBDistillery’s sleep gummies help you get to sleep without the side effects.

Unlike standard cannabis gummies, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies combine three types of cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming, sleep-supporting properties). CBDistillery’s bestselling gummies combine 5mg of Delta-9 THC, 75mg of CBD, and 15mg of CBN for full-body relaxation without feeling dissociated, starving, or overly... giggly.

If you prefer to stay THC-free, the brand’s Sound Sleep gummies skip it entirely, containing only 50mg of CBN in a delish black cherry flavor.

Whether you want something a bit supercharged or a gentle push into deeper sleep, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies can help.
