President Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday was anything but uneventful. From a Texas congressman being removed for heckling to the announcement of impending tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and even a surprising nod to Elon Musk, the evening was filled with political drama and unexpected moments.
Al Green Removed for Heckling
The evening took a dramatic turn when Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, repeatedly interrupted President Trump's speech. Green's heckling, including shouting "He has no mandate," prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson to order his removal from the House chamber. 
The incident sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many commenting on the unprecedented nature of the disruption. Republican lawmakers responded to Green's removal with chants of "Hey Hey Hey Goodbye."

Tariffs on Canada and Mexico Loom
Adding to the political tension, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that US tariffs on Canada and Mexico would be implemented on Tuesday. However, Lutnick also indicated that the planned 25% tariff level might not be set in stone, stating that the situation was "fluid." The final decision on the tariff rate rests with President Trump, leaving the trade landscape uncertain. 
The announcement has already sparked concerns about potential economic repercussions and trade negotiations.
A Shout-Out to Elon Musk
In a lighter moment, President Trump gave a surprising shout-out to Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The acknowledgment of Musk's work drew mixed reactions, with some praising the recognition of innovation and others questioning the department's role. 
The unexpected mention added another layer of intrigue to an already eventful address.
Finally, to ensure governmental continuity, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins was named the designated survivor during President Trump's address. This measure is standard practice, ensuring that leadership remains in place in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe.
President Trump's address to Congress was a whirlwind of political theater, policy announcements, and unexpected acknowledgments, leaving many to wonder what the coming days will bring.
