Is Donald Trump finally “doomed,” or is that a familiar storyline playing on repeat?
Michael Smerconish sits down with political analyst Mark Halperin to examine why predictions of Trump’s political collapse keep falling short. From foreign policy flashpoints like Greenland, Ukraine, and Venezuela to tariffs, media bias, and what Halperin calls “controlled chaos,” the conversation explores whether Trump’s leadership style is reckless—or deliberately disruptive.
A sharp, candid discussion about power, perception, and why Trump continues to dominate American politics, for better or worse. Original air date 7 January 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
