The impact Donald Trump’s tariffs are having in everyday life were evident on live TV Many people on the internet are coming to the realization the impact Donald Trump’s tariffs will have on items across the country. President Trump made his highly anticipated return to the White House 44 days ago, and on Tuesday, March 4, he marked the occasion with a bold address to Congress. During his speech, Trump revealed that he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, referencing the recent Oval Office controversy that dominated headlines last week. Since his return, the Republican president has wasted no time in taking action, signing a series of executive orders—including lifting the TikTok ban and making a firm declaration that there are ‘only two genders,’ among others. Tariffs, Tariffs, and More Tariffs Tariffs have become a defining feature of President Trump’s tenure, with nations like Mexico, Canada, and China bearing the brunt of his aggressive trade policies. The White House has justified these measures as a response to what it calls an “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl.” In simple terms, tariffs are taxes on imported goods—making them more expensive to sell in the U.S., with the added cost often trickling down to consumers. The Real-World Impact A recent Fox News report shed light on just how much these tariffs are affecting everyday Americans. In a stunning live TV moment, a Dodge Ram truck’s price jumped by $20,000 in real time. “This Dodge Ram truck was $80,000. It instantly just became $100,000 under Trump’s tariff tax hike,” the Twitter account FactPost noted while sharing the clip. The rising costs on imported goods raise questions about how these policies will shape consumer spending and the broader economy. Tariffs Shake the Auto Industry David Kelleher, owner of Pennsylvania-based David Auto Group, painted a grim picture of the impact tariffs are having on the car market. Speaking to Fox News, he shared a striking example: “I sold an order for a customer—an $80,000 truck. It’s $100,000 now. He’s not going to buy the truck. It’s going to sit on my lot—you know the highest interest rates we’re paying for floorplan. Nobody’s gonna buy the truck because it just had a $20,000 price increase.”

A popular family car will no longer be available in Australia after its parent company's profit dropped sharply and it looks to rein in costs. Aussies will no longer have access to the Jeep Grand Cherokee when existing stock runs out. In 2024, Jeep parent company Stellantis recorded a 70 per cent drop in its net profit to $AU9.14billion. Stellantis' car brands include Jeep, Ram and Chrysler in the US, France's Citroen and Peugeot and Italy's Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Maserati, along with China's electric Leapmotor. The Grand Cherokee SUV was once a popular car in Australia, but only 645 were sold here in 2024; just over half the 1,247 in 2023. It's been a quick decline for a car that was named Australia's best-selling large SUV in 2014.

I watched most of Trumps address. From the point of view of the centre aisle, facing the podium, Dems on the left, Reps on the right. Reps up and down with standing ovations on almost every sentence, Dems sitting stoicly unmoved, except for a few holding aloft paddles with "FALSE" on them. When discussing the rorting of social security funds, he quoted the most ridiculous stats. 1 person over 500 yo, 132 between 130 and 139, and similar in all age groups., or figures in that range. I didn't write them down.

Democrat kicked out of Trump speech for screaming at the president Democratic Rep. Al Green indignantly challenged Trump about Medicaid, waving his cane at the president, shouting and interrupting the 78-year-old's remarks shortly after they began. Initially, Trump began speaking over Green and did not let off as the Democrat yelled. 'You have no mandate to cut healthcare,' Green said. He was not the only Democrat interrupting, however. A large cohort of over 30 Democrats held signs with phrases like 'false' and 'Musk steals.' Speaker Mike Johnson eventually banged his gavel to restore order after Green's accosting went unabated. Johnson then threatened Green that he would have the security kick him out if the Democrat did not stop his protest. But that did not sway Green, who continued to yell at the president, who at this point had ceased talking. 'He has no mandate to cut Medicaid,' Green yelled again. Then, following Johnson's orders, the security came over to the lawmaker and told him to leave.
