Trump salutes Jesse Jackson as a 'force of nature' in emotional tribute

President Trump paid tribute to the late civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, calling him a 'force of nature' in a Truth Social post. He recalled their decades-long relationship, noted Jackson supported policies he says he backed—criminal justice reform, funding for historically Black colleges and universities, and Opportunity Zones—and shared old photos as he offered condolences after Jackson died at 84 following a neurodegenerative diagnosis.
