Summary
This week on The Final Word, the circus is back in town and the tent is on fire. Trump proudly announced the U.S. seized an oil tanker off Venezuela—because nothing says diplomacy like shouting “Mine!” across the ocean. Meanwhile, the White House is literally selling immigration with the new Trump Gold Visa, proving that citizenship is now a QVC item. Nick Fuentes preached “truth,” which is terrifying enough to make us want to hide under the bed. Trump called Europe “weak” and “decaying” while praising authoritarian BFFs Viktor Orbán and Recep Erdoğan—because apparently democracy is passé. He also reversed his pledge to release the full video of the Sept. 2 Caribbean strike on a supposed drug boat, because transparency is only fun until it shows you killing survivors. A federal judge greenlit the release of grand jury transcripts in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking case, and Texas teamed up with Turning Point USA to launch “Club America” chapters in every high school—because indoctrination is easier when you give it a mascot.
