Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Why is President Trump so much less risk averse in his second term compared to his first? After reading Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s Regime Change, Michael examines what may explain the more brazen, high-risk style of Trump’s second term. Is it the freedom of being term-limited, Supreme Court-recognized immunity for official acts, greater confidence in the presidency, a sense of political vindication—or the belief that consequences never stick? Michael breaks down all five poll choices, revisits recent voting results, and asks listeners to decide which factor matters most. Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
