Trump doesn't understand how and why US foreign policy (incl trade policy) works - which is part of why the GOP neocons and the deep state hates him like the plague (he can stuff up all their schemes with his ignorance)\nTrump is not cognizant of the reality (because it doesn't get talked about or said out loud in the mainstream media) that US is an Imperial power engaged in using complex diplomacy (including *sensitive* relationships cultivated over a long time) and threat of military force to suppress activities all over the planet in order to maintain a status quo where the US Empire gets to sit alone at the zenith of global power and wealth. It's not by real merit, this is a position established and maintained through aggression, and lot's of criminality carried out and built up over centuries of exploitative activities, which is why the deep state and powerful elite classes are so desperate to maintain the empire (and stop history from happening) because if forced to play on a more level playing field it becomes clearer that the sort of capitalism and unchecked neoliberalism the US political establishment is engaged in (and the current outcomes) are completely unsustainable.\nLike if something changed and the US dollar stopped being relied on as the premiere reserve currency of choice then they wouldn't be able to keep printing and spending money on value-losing expenses and they'd realize how badly screwed not just the economy is but the entire culture of thinking would have an existential crisis

People have short memories. \nHe used the same exact threat he’s using now to bring Mexico and Canada to the negotiating table during his first term. Which is what lead to nafta being renegotiated into something more beneficial to the US. \n\nAsk yourselves. Why didn’t Biden reverse Trump era tariffs?

The problem for Mexico is that they're assuming that Trump was making a threat. No. Trump was stating how it's going to be. Period.

trump voters are idiots!!! from the beginning trump “policies” were going to jack prices. his voters believe he’s a tough guy but he’s going to “female dog” down this threat.

Threats against the world's leading consumer country are stupid...?

Don't believe the lies and propaganda from CNN. The threat of tariff's worked before and it will work again.

Don’t forget, this lady is Jewish and knows a thing or two about economy. Trump can’t push her around like he has done with others, also, he does not understand that the majority of Mexicans back her up and are willing to make sacrifices to not let the USA push Mexico around. These trumps threats could backfire really bad and we will pay for it for sure, just wait, if inflation is bad and you have to pay 40k-50k for a base model car with these tariffs the middle class won’t be able to afford a 100k car anymore and we all will have to rent cars now. And forget about having savings and been able to own a home. This will mark the end of this country…mark my words.

Mexican president is either with the cartels or has a short life expectancy. Her threats are as empty as these libs skulls

Trump’s Truth containing the Tariff threats appears off Truth Social?!

Imagine a US News outlet calling our policies a threat and then siding with the other side.

Not a threat @CNN, how did this confuse your social media department?

Threats & intimidations of non-nuclear bombs nature never work with Donald J Trump, she & Xi Jing Ping will sit down & listen.

If CNN thinks tariffs from Mexico is a threat to the United States CNN is stupid

Tell the entire story. Mexicos President just stopped the caravans heading to the border. Man, imagine how good the country would be if you actually shared the positive result of Trumps “threat”

the Mexican President is Not in control of her country........... The transfer country of these Illegal Immigration and Drugs and all that mess...... Mexico is hosting the transport threw there borders for that Mexico is Responsible to curb the flow at its points if entry with in it own borders.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Time to stop playing nice... With Mexico ....... Mexico is the number one security threat ....... Closest to the U.S.A. Wake up.....

His threat of tariffs never had anything to do with the issues this guy mentioned…. \n\nHad nothing to do with the border issue.

Mexican president reveals caravans no longer arriving at US border .after Trump TARRIFF THREATS

Threats will not solve no problems with Mexicos Pr.only in America Trumps threats goes? through

So the real story is, Trump is already doing what he promised to do. Other news outlets are reporting,,,Breaking News... Mexican President reveals caravans no longer arriving at US Border amid Tariff threat. Trump for the win,,,,AGAIN

The media loves Trump cuz he gives them news. Stop it with this tariff crap, Trump must be loco but he isn't stupid. He's not going to do shit just like his great and beautiful wall and how Mexico was going to pay for. Trump know knows the U.S isn't in no position to be messing with our great economy right now. Trump knows that he needs to ride Biden great economy for as long that he can in order to look good. Trump knows he doesn't have no pandemic to blame now and he's expecting to govern with normality. Mexico isn't scare of the U.S threats cuz Mexico has plenty of leverage and the new Mexico president isn't going to take shit from Trump.??‍♂️

Mexico needs the US way more than the other way around. \n\nMexicos cartels are a threat to the American people and the Mexican president will do nothing about it.

Mexico just sent 6k troops to the border to slow the migrants because of Trumps tariffs threats. ?\nTrudeau also called to say he was going to cooperate because of Trumps tariff threats. ? \n\nCommunist Democrat media won't tell people that though.

I didn't hear a threat, sounded like a promise to me.

As a Mexican, Mexican people are already talking about how weak she is. Fear is in her eyes because of potential threats from within.

No point talking about Trump’s tariff threat now! Damage is done! Stupid American people have voted, now deal with it!

This is exactly why we elected Trump! Deporting millions will save us billions annually. Threats of tariffs will lead to more jobs in the US. Thank you Donald Trump! Let's get the cartels next. Threats from Mexico ??

It's not a threat it's a promise. They either treat us fairly or we can manufacture things ourselves. As far as illegal immigration CLOSE THE FREAKING BORDER.

Trump is exactly like Putin, with his threats and his scaremongering. It aint gonna work.

Mexico’s president is pushing back firmly against Trump’s border plans, emphasizing cooperation over threats and tariffs ??\n\n?? _'Top 10' American Podcasts: Tales That Bind, Expand Your Mind!_ ?

It’s not a threat-he wants safe borders and he wants it from either side

But according to the security guys he was a threat bcoz the president was alone coming but someone run's towards the King

❌All illegal migrants must be deported immediately from NYC. They are threats to US citizens. Our kids are not safe in school. Thanks to Trump to protect US citizens.

First of all:\nEducate yourself TLDR about the difference between illegal immigration (which is already a criminal act and if in large enough numbers an invasion) and legal immigration. They are NOT the same. Its like confusing a paying customer at the store (legal) with a shoplifter (illegal immigration).\n\nIf CA and NYC, then that's easy, send all of those people to those 2 states and see how long these states will last.\nSecond, its easy to make a country take back its own people, since you have the largest military available. Nothing a few threats of bombs couldnt fix.\n\nIts all super easy, you just have to want it.

yeah, don't see Maduro even caring about Trump making threats of tariffs if he doesn't accept Venezuelans back. As the rest of the continent know (like my own country, Chile), it's pretty clear he couldn't care less about people leaving Venezuela, less so about being diplomatic or having sanctions (they already have so many piled on). Airplanes with deported migrants wouldn't be able to land in Caracas

In particular I can't see Cuba or Venezuela cooperating with Trump's plan.\nThey're already dealing with so many American sanctions Trump's threats of sanctions will be meaningless.

Well, Trump announced declaring a National Emergency, and Deploying the U.S. Military to help with mass deportation, so there is a very strong reason to believe they intend to do just that. If they see it as a credible threat as of being destabilizing, as is to one of the main reasons of restrictions on immigration in the first place, to avoid overpopulation, or population control. Fundamentally speaking, 7-8 Billion people cannot all live in the lower 48 states of America ??. You have to regulate immigration for fundamental reasons. It’s the responsibility of the government, and more specifically or in any immediate scenario the current administration’s responsibility to address the current immigration status, that’s why it changes from administration to administration, to address the current status on immigration. If mass deportation is what is required to stabilize the situation, then that’s what they will do, and they will do whatever they have to do to accomplish that, depending on the critical nature of it. If Trump announces a NATIONAL EMERGENCY ‼️, and Deploys the Military then it’s critical. Regardless of who is in the White House. Trump is just putting his twist on it as Trump, but the government as a whole sees , or the majority more specifically see it as necessary to correct the imbalance.

Not the DOD's problem, not even their damn remit.\n\nTrump is an active threat to the US constitution, and to defend the constitution against all threats foreign and domestic, that is the remit of the US Armed Forces.\n\nThe greatest irony here is that it may become necessary for the Joint Armed Services to stage a coup-like action to prevent a self-coup by the Trump administration.\n\nAnd yeah, some of y'all may want to read about what a self-coup is.

Immigrants are not the threat to America. Billionaires like Trump and Elon Musk are threats to America.

Our military today is a high-technology force with career professional officers and enlisted personnel. The U.S. military exists to defend the country in war or prepare for war against foreign threats. Trump could quickly hollow out the military as career experts leave. The military does not exist for civilian police functions. It is illegal and unconstitutional for the U.S. military to arrest civilians or enforce immigration laws. The American military is apolitical. No one swears an oath to any political leader but only to our Constitution. Mass deportations of undocumented people living in the United States won't be done with the help of the Army, National Guard, or other military services. The U.S. military does not have to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders. Military officers do not want to engage in civilian police functions or enforce immigration laws. Trump firing military officers would hollow out the military, likely destroying our readiness to fight future wars.

If you can’t even say deport the criminals you’re delusional and a threat to our country

this is what EU should do, and most of their problem would be solved. Also i like how TLDR just skips the fact that drug trafficking human trafficking is all time high and Drug smugglers making billions, while Children of Illegal immigrants are going missing due to human trafficking, while Large Gang members from South America are coming in in masses and just occupying Landlords properties through Threat. And crime in bigger cities are skyrocketing and costing tax payers billions. ofc they'd want em deported.

Canadian Citizenship is handed out far too freely . If they want to come to Canada , welcome , BUT it should take 8 years to qualify to EARN Citizenship . Merit Points Earned , be taking after hour studies in Canadian History , Politics , and learning either or both of the founding languages French or English . By participating in proper pronunciation Classes . And NO Criminal records ,! or affiliations with groups that are a threat to Canada , or it's Allies C A McLean

In my country we call this singing for your supper. American foreign policy caused the migrant situation in central america when they supported dictators and oppressive governments. Its sad that Americans have bought into the trump rhetoric that immigrants are a threat to America.

Trump will get a call from big business. Then we will see how much of a threat every one of these CONTRIBUTORS to America are then. Either way, his cult will not care.

Donald Trump although I didn’t vote for you and I honestly do not agree with everything you say and stand for, I strongly stand and support what you have planned to do for Illegal Immigration. This massive deportation plan you have set out is a great goal you have because all these illegal immigrants who are coming from all over the world and are bringing their problems to the USA ?? and are committing crimes here and are having their kids here which is a big safety threat for our fellow Americans, this massive deportation plan is exactly what we need for our country and I support you 100% on this!

Even Latinos with legal status (the denaturalization clause) can be deported if they find they lied on their application, to enter, or who poses a threat to American democracy, (which the Supreme Court said could be interpreted in many different ways), or who entered the country and became legal, but whose life was not in any danger to where they needed assylum

Donald Trump not managing the aggression correctly... He's letting it be ugly... Speaking of which first impressions are based on appearance appearance of your face... As a whatever you are they don't want to hear.... Trump doesn't clarify he just stirs it up and Foster's violence and threats. \n.

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

A Call to Unity Against Intolerance\n\nWe stand at a critical juncture in our nation's history. The incoming administration presents a unique challenge, one that demands a united front from all marginalized groups. A narcissist's playbook is well-known: isolation, manipulation, and a disregard for the needs of others. We cannot afford to be divided and fall victim to these tactics. \n\n\nOur Strength Lies in Unity\n\nTo counter this threat, we must prioritize community building. We must forge strong bonds across diverse groups, recognizing our shared experiences of marginalization and discrimination. A Shared Goal: Ending Intolerance While we may have different specific goals and agendas, we are united by a common purpose: to eradicate intolerance in all its forms. By marching together, we demonstrate the power of a diverse coalition committed to equality, justice, and human rights.  \n\n\nThe Inevitable Awakening\n\nAs the true nature of the incoming administration becomes increasingly apparent, we must be prepared to support one another. We will build a resilient network to guide our nation through the darkness and emerge stronger than ever. We need a coalition so strong that we can band together and bring power to our government that acts in the people's best interests.\n\n\nOur Time to Act\n\nThe time for passive resistance is over. It's time to take decisive action. Join a group or 2 fighting for your rights and stand with us Together, we will be the beacon of hope, love, and truth that pierces through the lies. This is more than just one March this is a movement and are marching orders are clear. We must stop intolerance by showing we are stronger together: our rights, our fight. Jan 18th is the People's March and the movement begins. Please share these words. Let us  build the movement.

See the problem is that we pay for these people to live in our counties. It's not a threat you dumb B. It's cleaning the trash. How is it a threat? This brawd needs to be shipped to another country.
