Summary
This week on The Final Word, we ask the question no one dared to utter aloud: Whatever happened to the charming racism? You know, the kind that wore a monocle and said “those people” with a genteel sneer instead of a bullhorn and a MAGA hat. Trump’s latest “naturally” racist musings have us wondering if subtlety is dead—or just deported.
Meanwhile, the Epstein saga continues to unravel like a badly written soap opera, and the Trump administration is treating us like we all failed civics and common sense. VP Vance calls it “the Epstein situation,” which is like calling Chernobyl “a bit of a hiccup.”
We also dive into the dumbest tariffs this side of a Monopoly board, Trump’s extortion cosplay, RFK Jr.’s apparent attempt to turn your immune system into a piñata, and the GOP’s plan to blow up satellites, solar programs, and—why not—democracy itself.
It’s sassy, it’s savage, it’s smarter than it has any right to be. Buckle up, buttercup. The Final Word is bringing receipts, rage, and ridiculousness.
