President Trump is mired in risk:
- Risk his Iran war of choice goes bad.
- Risk the February job losses are a trend, not a blip.
- Risk the stock market keeps dropping.
- Risk his tariffs, and now soaring oil costs, are pushing prices higher.
- Risk that deregulated AI accelerates job losses.
- Risk that Democratic enthusiasm leads to a midterm wipeout.
Why it matters: Trump fancies himself a high-risk, high-reward president, a confidence cheered by the vast majority of Republican officials and voters. But risk is risk — and by most measures, it's rising everywhere.
