One of President Donald Trump's biographers shared a sobering prediction about how the second Trump administration will end during a new podcast interview on Tuesday. Michael Wolff, a journalist who has written four books about Trump, discussed Trump's health with Joanna Coles, the Daily Beast's chief content officer, on a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," the podcast they co-host. Wolff said Trump's "sense of the dramatic" makes it likely that his presidency will end suddenly and surprisingly, almost certainly in a way that gives Trump the place in history that he seems to crave. "I think that there's a very good chance that it just ends all of a sudden," Wolff said. "No warning, no preparation. He falls."Wolff's comments came at a time when questions swirled about Trump's health following his semi-annual physical at Walter Reed Hospital. Trump declared that he was perfectly healthy after the exam, although some medical experts remained skeptical. Wolff noted that Trump is facing an environmental risk to his health that many presidents face during their second term, one that could exacerbate any issues he already faces. "I think the second term for every president is, to say the least, a downer," Wolff said. "First thing, you have nothing to work toward. You're not running again. You see your end, and that must be frightening. And also, everyone is taking things from you. The loneliness must set in, probably exactly at the point Trump is at now. He's facing the midterms. They're going to be a catastrophe for Trump." Wolff added that if the second Trump administration were to end abruptly, that may be all Trump needs to be remembered by the history books. "I think he has enough of a sense of the dramatic that he knows that he has to go out like this," Wolff said. "This is it. This would give him his place in history."
