Trump airs familiar grievances, charts MAGA plan in address before bitterly divided Congress

FACT CHECK: This is lacking context.

The Yale Budget Lab estimates that the tariffs could cost the average household up to $2,000 annually. Cars and car parts are big exports from Canada and Mexico, and tariffs could increase the cost of a new car by over $3,000 per vehicle on top of last year’s average new car price of $44,811, according to JP Morgan Research.

Most economists predict that prices, and therefore, inflation will go up, with consumers seeing higher prices for food, gasoline, clothes, shoes, toys and other household items.

Several Democrats including Rep. Veronica Escobar yelled "January 6th" as Trump discussed law enforcement and protecting police officers.

Trump pardoned all of the defendants charged with the riot.

Trump railed against what he claims is a justice system weaponized by Democrats to go after political opponents, including him. Democrats audibly grumbled at the comments.

Trump then wished FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi "good luck" and the pair received standing ovations. Patel and Bondi narrowly survived their confirmation votes. In fact, Patel's was one of the most partisan and divided confirmation votes for an FBI director in history at 51-49.

FACT CHECK: This is unverifiable.

This claim is unverifiable because DOGE has yet to release the entirety of its work or specify which cuts have been "fraud" as opposed to "waste." DOGE has claimed to have saved $106 billion in total savings, not "hundreds of billions" in fraud, and even Elon Musk himself has said they have mostly found "waste" and "mostly not fraud."

DOGE has claimed it has saved a total of $106 billion in federal money from a "combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions." The figure remains unverifiable and DOGE’s website claims to have posted only 30% of the receipts supporting this total.

Even Musk himself said on Joe Rogan’s podcast last week that most of what DOGE is finding is "waste," rather than outright fraud. "Only the federal government could get away with this level of waste. It's mostly waste. It's mostly not fraud, it's mostly waste. It's mostly just ridiculous things happening," Musk said.
