Trade Wars, Luxury Jets, and the Supreme Court’s Next Crisis

Tonight on The Final Word, we break down the latest in the ongoing saga of Trump-world chaos, starting with a major shift: Trump has blinked first in the trade war with China. Why? Because, by his own admission, the tariffs were hurting "Trump's people"—which apparently took him entirely by surprise.

Meanwhile, despite economic turmoil, Trump still plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar, with an estimated billion-dollar price tag to convert it into Air Force One. Just a casual gift for a sitting president—nothing to see here.

Speaking of jaw-dropping financial claims, Trump boasts that Saudi Arabia pledged $600 billion in investment during his Middle East trip—except the White House only released details for $283 billion. Either someone misplaced a few hundred billion dollars, or we have some creative accounting going on.

And then there’s the latest in the Trump crypto experiment: a Chinese tech company, with no revenue and just eight employees, is planning to buy $300 million worth of Trump’s $TRUMP coin. Because nothing says financial legitimacy like an untraceable digital currency linked to a man who has never met a conflict of interest he didn’t like.

Shockingly, House Speaker Mike Johnson supports banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks to reduce the "appearance of impropriety." But Trump accepting a $400 million private jet from Qatar? Apparently, that’s just fine.

Meanwhile, the administration has fast-tracked entry for 17 relatives of Sinaloa cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán López and conveniently expedited refugee status for white Afrikaners, yet continues to turn its back on immigrants fleeing violence elsewhere. The hypocrisy couldn’t be clearer.

And finally, the Supreme Court now faces a staggering question: Can Trump legally end birthright citizenship? As authoritarian impulses collide with constitutional rights, the stakes for American democracy have never been higher.

All that and more on The Final Word, where we unpack the corruption, the hypocrisy, and the crises shaping the nation.
