S13 E12: Trump’s Ballroom & Structured Settlements: 5/17/26: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Description

John Oliver discusses Donald Trump’s increasingly expensive plans for a new White House ballroom and how the American people could get stuck paying a significant portion of the bill. Then, Oliver details structured settlements – incremental payments designed to sustain victims of injury or wrongful death over long periods of time – and the parasitic companies trying to get their hands on that money while getting jingles stuck in your head: factoring companies.
