???? i would of called trump and told him to increase the tariffs to 90% because all we know they dont pay the tariffs we do. lmmfaooo price of coffee and cocaine going up

Some one really needs to tell trump who really pays for tariffs!

The way trump is playing the tariff games will make Americans either to produce everything inside their own country or buy the same product for double amount ?\n\nN.B Most Americans don’t understand how tariff works, it’s always the consumer in the end who pays the tariff, in this case Americans.

This is the very reason BRICS is coming baby, weaponizing the dollar, embargos and sanctions, Trump is Just speeding up the process which is moving fast, its shows how stupid Americans are, becouse the U.S. pays the tariffs YOU, not the Colombia importer D..A.. right, criminals? there undocumented, ya real \ncriminals he's ripping you off, becouse the U.S. pays the tariffs

Did Trump study economics at Wharton? Does his small brain comprehend that WE, the U.S. pays the tax(tariff)and then companies like Starbucks just double their prices to compensate?

Who IS PAYING FOR THESE FLIGHTS??? HOPE YOURE HAPPY TRUMP VOTERS LMAO

“”Criminals trump calls them!!! Maybee some but mothers with kids that are to poor to feed there children are deported criminals in trumps and his billionaire friends minds!!!!! Trumps way or highway forget what’s written in the American constitution!!!! It’s all clear sailing for trump his space crazed friend \nElon can pay off any judicial system judge trump needs!!!!! Make trump great again!!!!!!!\nThis is a no win tariff stand off for any country including the USA!!!! Prices will rise in every country!!!!!

Listen up you Trump people he raised tariffs you're gonna be paying more in the market for everything outside the market for everything this is a power trip for him sweaty once you voted for him.

Trump voters:\n\nSo how does it feel about paying more for coffee and gas and other goods from Columbia. You voted for this.

Get them, Trump make them pay.

So, trump hits american companies buying stuff from columbia with a tariff. Columbia does not pay the tariff and it is not going to affect anyone but the american consumer who the american companies, who paid the hidden tax he just imposes on us, the consumer, won't actually pay in the long run because that tariff just becomes part of their cost of goods that they will add to their sales prices.

They won't be the ones paying it, all in Americans will be paying it. You literally don't get any more stupid than Trump is.

What's wrong with this Drama Dolnard Trump. In 1885, his grandfather frederick Trump left for Bremen to United states at the age of 16 years.\nHe should deport people that committed serious crimes not good people paying taxes.

I hope all countries will do a Colombia. Let's see how Americans are gonna pay for anything when Trump impose tariffs on every country in the world

The international world is not going to be pushed around by Donald Trump. And the only person going to suffer is the American people. We're gonna pay for it.

TAKE YOUR PRISONERS BACK COLUMBIA. These Countries knew what Trump's plan, said they would take them back, then won't let the planes land. So yeah, tariff the sh*it out of them. I'll pay a little more (like I have been for four years) to get our Country back. Americans first!!!

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

I hope they fight back like hell, it's time for everyone to standup to a criminal so call president of US. He failed to realize the call he made it's going to hurt USA. All of the Republicans Congress and Trump supporters are enjoying this now but we will pay the price for his mess.

Trump is gonna end up costing American's a lot more money if he keeps threatening tariffs, the tariffed company/country doesn't pay for the tariff's, the end consumer does!

trump will have to pay more for don jrs drug habit

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

So the people of the United States are going to pay for Trump's deportations. So, how do you like that? Your morning cup of coffee is going to be more expensive now. How much more expensive? Ask Trump!.

Welcome to Trump taxes. Tax most people to pay for tax breaks for the rich. The golden age, he with gold will make the rules.

Until CNN stands up to Trump and its MAGA sickos you are going to keep losing viewers and you should. You went after Biden non stop to old. Never questioned Trumps mental decline and his calls to take down the country. I hope the pay back is worth the ratings. You bent the knee on the lawsuit that you would have won to kiss the ring. Hate to see people lose jobs, but hope you go belly up. FAFO

So trump really could care less that we the citizens of United States will have to pay for it. You can’t get any more stupid than that.

It sounds like tariffs are being used to fit his pocketbook (Trump's) and not the average consumer who will be paying sticker shock prices for coffee, tea and other foods.

More higher prices for US consumers. They and US importers are going to be filling up the US treasury pretty quickly as Trump keeps imposing more and more tariffs. While his clueless supporters keep believing his idiotic lie that foreign companies pay this tariff tax. Of course while the average consumer keeps paying up, there's more money for Trump to cut taxes for his rich friends, himself included.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

felon trump still don't understand tariffs, americans will pay more for goods, better quit drinking coffee

Trump makes Americans pay more for food to punish Columbia? Awesome.

LMAO Trump = total lunatic in charge of the United States that he will dismantle over the next four years or less. So glad I'm not an American and will never visit the worlds newest fascist state. Sorry folks, you voted for this very, very sick man and now you're about to pay the price.

Good for Trump! This is not against his foreign policy. These people are being returned home- pretty generous in my opinion. And if their country refuses their own people then with they can pay for their upkeep by tariffs. I will just not buy their products at a higher price. No problem here.

Update: Columbia folded. The Columbian President is going to provide his own plane to repatriate his people. So not only will they accept them, now we don't even have to pay for it. THAT IS TRUMP IN ACTION!

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

RETURN TO SENDER, \nBUT SENDER REFUSED?\nNo wonder Trump is right to get em out!\nImagine Columbia paying to return Americans it denied entry, only to have USA refuse to them to come home! \nTrump is right that many countries are taking advantage of America!

WE PAY FOR TARIFFS!!!!! THE GOODS ARE PAID FOR IN FULL WITH NO TARIFFS ADDED TILL THEY GET TO US AND WE PAY THE DIFFRENCE!!! TRUMP HAS ZERO CLUE.

Trump should raise %25 on petroleum product so that the US citizen are paying for it

For these slow people, let me explain how this works: tariffs work as a tax on poor people. First time in the White House, Trump put a 25% tariff on China goods. Dollar Tree, which imports from china usually to sell everything for a dollar had to pay 25 cents on a dollar in taxes to collect the goods from the ports. So it passed that tax to the prices. So went from everything $1 to everything $1.25. a 25% percent inflation. Then China stopped buying soybeans from USA. Farmers went broke and Trump have to give them 29 billion in handouts so they won’t go broke. Genius?

So if the c-17's are 3 times the cost of civilian airliners, just send them back on civilian airliners, what's the problem there? Seems an easy fix and I as a tax payer don't want to pay 3 times more when it can be done cheaper. I Thought Trump was a businessman and knew about economics? I guess he's not interested in keeping it cheaper for us citizens. Furthermore if he tariffs China we are all in big trouble.

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

Yes and we are Winning as Americans. Trump listens to the legal Citizens. Those of you that wish to be a Citizen of America you need to follow the process. Follow the process or pay the price. How Dumb do you have to be?

MR TRUMP is not into waisting money, so now Columbia you will pay back so much interest on what you have caused America to loose on gas for those two flights it will be insane.❤?❤

Do you idiots believe this will raise your rating, you idiots don't realize, the money we save not supporting illegal immigrants, will pay for it self, win, win, we'll eventually run out of illegal immigrants, then save money, yippee, go Trump!

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

The Dictator of Columbia has already agreed to not only take back the Illegals....he's PAYING FOR IT!!! DON'T mess with Trump!!

Companies that import products pay tariffs then they pass the cost on to the consumer.\n Trump has his head firmly up his backside.

Trump is such a moron. They shouldn't say the tariffs are on Columbia. They don't pay them. They should say Trump punishes US taxpayers with tariffs on Columbia that are passed onto us.
