Summary

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Were any of the three Trump assassination attempts staged? Michael examines a startling new survey showing that nearly one-third of Americans believe at least one assassination attempt against Donald Trump was staged—or aren’t sure the attacks were real. From Butler to the golf course incident to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner scare, Michael breaks down the conspiracy theories gaining traction, the partisan divide driving public opinion, and why distrust is becoming a defining feature of modern politics.
