Tonight on The Last Word: Donald Trump leaves China with no policy breakthroughs. Also, the German Chancellor warns of the “social climate” in the United States. Plus, the Trump world thrives as U.S. prices keep rising. And Trump uses the China trip to lobby for his ballroom. Chrystia Freeland, Robert Reich, and Rep. Maxwell Frost join Ali Velshi.
