MSNBC
About this episode

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Trumponomics: President Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China go into effect Tuesday, with Mexico  and Canada planning retaliatory tariffs against the United States. Trump admits they may cause pain for the American consumer but says it will be worth the price. Rep. Suzan DelBene, member of the House Ways and Means Committee, explains the impact of what the Wall Street Journal correctly calls "The Dumbest Trade War in History." Lavender Scare: President Trump has embarked on an assault on LGBTQ Americans not seen since the 1940s and 1950s. His intense focus on transgender Americans is especially galling. I'll talk with Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, about how to protect the community from attack. The Purge: Trump, with an assist from First Buddy Elon Musk, is making good on his promise to decimate the federal workforce, even if it means breaking security rules. Former Rep. Joe Walsh and Ameshia Cross join me to talk about this assault on our democracy. And Thin ICE: Immigration enforcement is going way beyond undocumented immigrants who've committed violent crimes. Now, protections are being revoked for thousands of legal migrants. A view of the real-world impact with Dara Lind of the American Immigration Council. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
