In this episode of Politics Nation, The Reverend Al Sharpton addresses President Trump's return to Washington this week, where he encounters major challenges. Congressional Republicans are pushing a major spending bill that aligns with Trump’s priorities, including border security, energy, and tax cuts for the wealthy. This plan, which cuts funding for clean water projects and heating assistance for low-income individuals while increasing defense spending to a trillion dollars, is meeting some resistance due to its perceived disregard for pressing social needs. As Congress debates these issues, the American public and Wall Street are bracing for the economic impact of upcoming tariffs, particularly in the farming sector, which warns of a potential crisis. Meanwhile, Trump’s deportation policies are sparking conflict with the courts, as the administration threatens judges and defies court orders related to migrants' rights. All of this is taking place as we anticipate the next phases of Trump’s second term.
