If Trump Pulls THIS Off, Is He a 'Successful' President?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Is it possible to call Donald Trump a successful president—even if you oppose him? In this episode Michael breaks down the provocative daily poll question at Smerconish.com, which is asking you: "Is Trump a successful president if he keeps Gaza peace, resolves Russia/Ukraine war, reforms Venezuela, purchases Greenland, and enables Iran regime change?" Drawing on criticism from The Atlantic, current betting markets, approval ratings, and his own mixed reactions to Trump’s style and substance, Michael challenges listeners to confront their assumptions and test the limits of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s a thought experiment designed to push buttons—and spark debate. Listen, then rate, review, and share this podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
