## Resource

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Will Trump order new strikes on Iran during his China trip? Michael explores an eerie parallel to 2017, when Trump launched strikes on Syria while hosting Xi Jinping, raising questions about whether history could repeat itself during the president’s current China visit. He also examines Trump’s controversial “not even a little bit” remark when asked whether Americans’ financial pain is influencing Iran negotiations—and why critics are seizing on it. Plus, yesterday's startling poll result showing nearly half of respondents believe at least one Trump assassination attempt was staged, tying it to the rise of what scholars call “conspiracy without the theory”—a viral, algorithm-driven form of misinformation untethered from evidence.
