Trumpâs October Tariff Tornado Targets Pills, Trucks & Cabinets
On the electrifying evening of an undisclosed Thursday in 2025 (but definitely October 1 is the D-Day), President Donald Trump unleashed a tariff trilogy that couldâve been inspired by a budget action movie. The U.S. government plans to slap a 100% tariff on branded pharmaceuticalsâyes, doubling the pain for your lifesaving medsâ25% on heavy-duty trucks (thatâs right, 18-wheelers bearing gifts of freight suffering sticker shock), and a curated massacre of kitchen cabinets with a 50% tax. In a landmark post on Truth Social, Trump blasted 'the large-scale flooding by other outside Countries', while ambiguously leaning on national security and 'other reasons' likely classified in Area 51. With inflation already climbing higher than his Twitter engagement stats (a spicy +3.1% CPI hike in August 2025), and lawsuits brewing over previous tariffs, our dude Trump doubles down like a casino high-roller ignoring the house odds. The White House stayed mum, probably busy binge-watching policy memos or producing a sticker chart for tariff hits.

Only Trump could turn kitchen cabinets and pharmaceuticals into national security threats. October just got an inflation facelift thanks to 100% pill tariffs and trucks getting taxed like theyâre the new U.S. military threat.
If flooding pharmaceuticals and taxing trucks makes us safer, I want to see tariffs on water balloons and tricycles next. Readjusting national security or just national wallet-piercing?
100% tariff on meds? Thatâs like charging patients extra for their perfectly legal pain. Seems Trumpâs new health plan involves a bigger bill and more headlines.
