The Affordability Crisis Keeps Getting Worse

Author: Mary Trump Media September 18, 2026 Duration: 12:50

Gasoline and diesel prices surge as interest rates rise, adding even more pressure on Americans already struggling with higher costs. Meanwhile, Donald travels to Ireland, faces protesters, denies cheating at golf, and later jokes about banning fishing.

JD Vance asks Americans to give the administration “another chance,” while Ted Cruz gets loudly booed on ESPN’s College GameDay in Austin.
