Chaos Presidency
from The Weekend Hosted by Jonathan Capehart, Jackie Alemany, Eugene Daniels, Laura Barrón-López, Sabrina Siddiqui, Rev. Al Sharpton
August 29, 2026; 7am: This week marks 6 months since the start of the war with Iran, a war Trump originally said should last only 4-5 weeks. There’s no end in sight, but Trump posted a meme on social media declaring ‘mission accomplished.’ Plus, as Trump reignites an unnecessary trade war with Canada, Americans continue to worry about affordability. MS NOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez and Wall Street Journal national politics reporter Sabrina Siddqui join “The Weekend” to discuss all that and more.
