Yeah it’s less because trump won you idiots!!

....the only reason Mexico isn't an American territory is trade. It benefits us to have a poorer country neighbor us. If we aren't gonna do trade together (probably won't by the time Trump is done) we should just treat them like another Guam.

Mark my words: mass deportations and tariffs are going to hurt us more than anyone. Trump’s antagonistic policies will not serve American in any way other than to keep us from moving forward. Drugs will continue to come in because demand won’t be solved. Inequality will increase because the poor will carry the expense of increased cost of goods. Infrastructure won’t get built and farms will lack labor because of lack of migration. People will remain undocumented because our immigration system sucks. Hateful people will become more hateful because they believed in lies and will seek a scapegoat.

she's going to learn a hard lesson and regret why she is the president of Mexico. her letter says nothing, but her fears channeled with ego that he won't dare. we're talking about trump here. trump does what he says!

Trump lost to Biden y’all claim it was rigged. Is it rigged this time ??? since he won

As soon Donal Trump get on power she will bend over for him ?? don’t forget we are USA ?? we are the power, don’t forget what happens on the first 48 hours after Trump won!!

How much you want to bet ,the new woman liberal Mexican President is 100% controlled by the Mexican Cartels, she better wake up real quick , Trump won't be playing her games.

It's better than Biden doing nothing! Worried about Ukraine's border more than ours. If this never had happened, we might be a little more concerned with Ukraine. Let's fix us so we can be stronger around the world. Until then, we have to fix our problems. People are struggling and are extremely livid! no wonder Trump won.

Wait, we're shocked Trump won't be able to do what he said.... Yawn

Clowns...illegals numbers are possibly lower now because they know Trump won and they're wasting their time coming...Mexico didn't do sh** for 4 years either...in fact they allowed migrants to pass through to the U.S.

I'm old. You know how I know that for sure? I remember Laugh-in and I keep hearing Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me. Tariff's arent' going to strengthen our trade negotiations with China. Quite the opposite. They'll just cut a better import deal with other countries. And it's not COUNTRIES that are ripping us off - it's CORPORATIONS. Trump wants you to believe it is countries so he can give tax cuts to corporations and dumb people won't know how badly that is screwing us over. It's like 'Over here is the REAL evil', not over there! Trust me! I'm your protector!!'

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.

CNN: Mexico has done a lot or help Biden on the border. \n\nlol, who is going to tell CNN? They are so dumb and oblivious . Trump won largely because of the shit border lol

TRUMP? DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT MEXICAN WOMEN! SHE IS CALLING HIS BLUFF AND SHE WON'T BEND IN A GAME OF CHICKEN????

The trump administration didn t and won t care for the US economy at all, but dismantle it, into their money pockets. \nBTW it s what the trump voters deserve. It fits perfectly in Putins interest, dismantling the US and the west.

Trump is greatest president . Won 3/3.

Mrs. Sheinbaum told us, the mexican people not to worry when trump won.\nThats when I knew We're all Fd

Yeah tarriffs definitely won’t work…. Because asking them nicely has worked for the last 4 years. It worked the first time trump did it Mexico deployed their entire security service along the border

The American people don't want open borders ? that's why Trump won the election ?

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

Donald Trump ran a campaign on authoritarianism, harsh politics and he won the popular vote plus the electoral college

CNN reporters: Your mouths move. No one believes you anymore. CNN reports that there isn't a border problem. They report that the Mexican president is tougher than Trump and won't back down. Right. What they seem to forget is that Trump was POTUS before. CNN hasn't learned that we are so tired of them LYING on behalf of Democrats and being 100% negative against Trump on literally EVERYTHING. It's clear CNN won't change.

I don’t care about the drugs, or the economy. What I care about is the fact I won’t be going to prison or the electric chair because a man walked into a woman’s restroom where a female member of my family is in, and the fact that Trump is going to get rid of illegal criminals coming into America.

I don't even expect Trump to even be inaugurated... If he does, he will have to hide from public. I would expect that you won't see him as much once he does these things. But that's just my prediction. After all.... Voters voted for this.

This is why Trump won the election. You can listen this discussion and hear the fear in their voice. These people have no backbone and are afraid to press on other countries. Meanwhile Trump is making his presence known ands he’s not even in office yet

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.

Illegal crossings definitely went down because Trump won ?.

Well the president of Mexico should just have a coke a cola that most of their people have to have or they throw a fit and need four and and love our American mad clothing and shoes and or Ford trucks and love and adore our American made movies on DVD and ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT so my president elect DONALD J TRUMP is doing the right thing and if they don't like it and won't frickin pay them I know that my president elected DONALD J TRUMP is not heartless and probably send governor Abbott's and board control ECT a lot of Coke a cola that is American made and I hope their give it them with this statement just shut the fuck up iand get the fuck out of our country you sick people and happy travels

Trump is the son of an immigrant and his first and current wife are both immigrants.\n\nIf people actually hated him for the right and true reasons instead of making stuff up and causing people to not believe when actual valid reasons to hate him are stated, he wouldn't have won twice.\n\nBlanketly denigrate the people that support him (I disagree even though I wouldn't vote for him) as moronic, but it's almost always the people making baseless statements about him that show their lack of awareness and education on who exactly Trump is and what he stands for.\n\nObama's father was African and his wife is African American. \nCalling Trump against LEGAL immigration is as ridiculous as calling Obama anti-Black.

Canada, <sigh>. I was born in the English part of Quebec. My wife and I left Canada for the United States when the rest of Canada let Quebec destroy our English communities. I never looked back until Trump won in 2016. Now, in 2024 I'm looking for a new place. Maybe New Zealand?

Your family should disown you because you are a traitor to them! You think trump won't deport you or marginalize you? Think again! You are less than a bug under his boot because you are not white or rich. Good luck to you.

Lol anything to criticise trump and his cabinet. Trump won by a landslide and will do everything he said he would. People voted him to get rid of illegals, do not tell me this will cause unrest. This has to be done, illegal immigrants are committing crimes and killing innocent people. Anyone against this you have blood on your hands

I'm so glad trump won he has exposed Americans for how disgusting they really are..they hate the men who made everything EASY and SAFE for everybody NONWHITE but whatever, whites best stop playing nice now they got a chance at power again. Don't make the appeasmement mistake a 3rd time whitey.

this is why Trump won.

This is the typical MAGA Republican / Republican who's naturally cold and heartless. Even towards her own family! I wholeheartedly understand why her family can't stand being around her or even talking to her. Don't be so sure that you yourself won't be on that same bus heading to Mexico. Trump doesn't give a shite about you. Being a MAGA Trump arse-kisser won't make any difference whatsoever. ?

Is this how Trump got 60% of the hispanic vote this year? A bunch of people who think the leopard won’t eat their faces?

Where was the outrage during the invasion of millions of illegals,???? They hope that when they use their activists in the media it will force Trump to change course? unfortunately he's not up for reelection so he won't care

Trump will fail at this endeavor like he failed at all his businesses. Supporting him is like letting your dog drive you to the airport. It is impossible to round up that many people in the time he has allotted. He won’t do it, and you suckers will still blame Biden. Everyone likes to blame immigrants for what is going on in society. I am poor. Must be the landscaper’s fault. I still living with my parents. Must be that Mexican’s fault. Wake up!\n\nWatch a few sobering realistic videos by Richard Wolff and perhaps you might realize that illegal immigrants are the least of our problems.

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.

Small correction - After more votes have been counted it looks like Trump will not win a majority of the popular vote, it is down to 50.00% with still more votes to be added, and you should wait until all votes have finished being counted before stating that he won a majority of the popular vote.\n\n\nAlso I hope the other commenters realise that almost all people crossing the southern boarder are legal migrants claiming asylum legally. Anyone walking up to the US and claiming asylum legally must have their case judged and are legally allowed to remain in the US whilst that happens.

Did I understood right when trump said he'd deport immigrants and familly ??? If this is the case she won't find any magas out there ????

20 billion is nothing compared to the costs these migrants bring to their communities, Germany alone spends something like 100 billion on refugees and economic migrants, that's not even counting the crimes and lost wages on citizens, as well as healthcare costs and housing costs.\n\nin the USA the numbers are even higher and have been going up for decades.\n\nas for the law, the law is the law, it's simply not being enforced, if the US government simply continues to ignore it's own laws, it will create doubt in the legitimacy of the government itself, Trump was elected on this very platform and has a majority in most institutions of the US government.\n\nhell if the civil service sector won't work, they should be fired and if that takes too long Trump could set a presidential act to form militias or use the national guard to do it for him.

Laws won't stop him at all. He controls everything. The senate, the house, the Supreme Court, majority of state governors. Most anti-Trump Republicans have been purged from the party and the rest will be purged come next midterms. The country is his and there's nothing anyone can do. Dude could change the name of the country to Trumpland or Americania if he wanted.

The plan is not controversial. Trump won with an outstanding mandate. American voters want to end to government inspired and funded illegal immigration. The progressive deep state weasels want to disrupt and overturn Republican voting strongholds.

I’m so glad Trump won! \nAmerica is back! ?️???

The best way to stop immigration is to just let Trump at the economy. You won’t be able to stop people from trying to leave.

Do you know why Trump won everywhere else on immigrants' debate except Washington? it is easy...bc the democrat corruption government is over there. They are team up to let illegal immigrants in everywhere but Washington . They share tax money to each time the introduce the newprogram . For example, they can be a president, CEO and group of staff , each of them take a good salary and people of smerican are poor, inflation and get kill by illegal criminal.\n Washington

Canada should take care of their homeless people first before accepting refugees from the United States since Trump won the election where he will deport any illegal immigrants. My question is: How did these illegals obtain jobs? I’m sure Trump had illegals working for him. Does Trump realize that businesses will suffer when these people are deported because there won’t be anyone hired to do their jobs? Sending these people back to where they came from will cost the tax payers millions because Trump certainly won’t be paying for their fares.

You all love criminals so much. Wtf. Thank God Trump and the Republicans won.

I see lots of comments bashing these folks and I get it, sort of. Trump won by a landslide, and most of his supporters want mass deportation. I find that ironic insomuch as everyone here, other than Native Americans, are or are descendants of immigrants. Did they all come here legally? And for those whose ancestors did, how much easier was it way back then. Plenty of hypocrisy to go around.
