Racist Trump has not been sworn in and he is already attacking the Mexican President, American consumers will pay more for imported products not Mexico, Canada and China.

This is interesting! If you take Economics 101 you will find that tariffs are not paid by another country but are passed down to the consumer(s). Is Trump's thinking that if products cost more from Mexico that Americans will buy products from someone else? And in this case most products come in from elsewhere so the U.S. consumer will be paying hire prices on what we purchase. America does not manufacture a lot of our products anymore. Trump has 1950's economic views.

Trumponomics means artificially making tariffs impossible to pay and frustrating Americans from buying import goods so that we'll turn entirely to domestic production.\n\nTrumponomics also has a geopolitical aspect, in that super-high tariffs as well as tariff exemptions can be leveraged as political blackmail or reward, respectively, to influence other countries to toe the Trump line.

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.??‍♂️

The voters in the USA have no knowledge of the work done by Biden and Harris. The results are paying off big time. Trump just does not want to know this.\nUS voters will soon regret their decision at the ballot booth.

So basically Trump's border plan, again is make another country deal with it - so instead of Mexico will pay for te wall, Mexico and Canada will pay Tariffs? Umm.. that's not gonna work and sounds like just like his non-existent health care plan, there is no border plan either.. FAFO!!

The American ppl will pay for the increased tariffs and the ones collecting the tariff is the Trump government. Way to go Trump, another source of incomr bec you are collecting the funds from your own ppl by increasing the tariffs.

The U.S. will learn a lesson soon, You cannot impose tariff on all products coming from Mexico without hurting your economy. The U.S. citizens will pay that decision without a doubt. Trump has no idea of how an economy works. In my opinion he should resign as a president even before he takes oath on January 2025. He should be put in a mentally psychiatric institute at least for 4 years until he learns his lesson.

All I’ve been hearing about the Trump tariffs are how bad they are for America and American citizens and how were the ones who will be paying those tariffs. If that’s the truth, why is the Mexican president so upset about them?

He raises tariffs and she can do the same. And it goes on and on. How much will tRump raise tariffs on China? I can't afford much of anything and I am the same age as tRump (78 years old). I am struggling with paying bills. I think prices will never come down and I am not on welfare. I also do not have Medicare because I cannot afford the monthly fees so I am lucky I am a Vietnam Ers woman Navy Vet who is able to use the VA medical facilities. I am so tired of struggling that I rather be dead now.

this is becoming suicidal! ...Americans will pay the price of their idiotic vote! installing recipe for misery on your own allies and people..oh wait the people wanted it! at this point, putin would nuke America and some of us would clap!, its how far empathy is for Americans as we will all pay and only trump and his ogliarchs will cash in... frustrations are running high, we got screwed by the gullible

Mexico treats Trump?\nMexico will pay of it. \nI am a Canadian Latina .\nI support Trump.

OMG YOU MAGA HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR LORD AND MASTER HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU DO YA? HE HAS PUT HIS TARIFFS IN WHICH YOU THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS GOING TO PAY FOR AND NOT CHINA!! YOUR RENT IS GOING TO GO UP AND UP AND UP!!..TRAITOR TRUMP HAS SAID THAT THOSE EARNING OVER $400,000 A YEAR WILL GET A TAX CUT..THOSE EARNING UNDER THAT HAVE TO PAY MORE TAX..WHEN OH WHEN WILL YOU MAGA EVER LEARN THAT TRUMP CARES NOTHING FOR YOU,AND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT!! FROM GREAT BRITAIN

Trump doesn't realize when you put tariffs on other countries they raise their prices which in turn affects the consumer price which is the citizens of this country because we have to pay more for the products we buy????

Trump is a moron. He says things without any proof or facts or details. How is China ripping us off? We use them for cheap high tech labor to make our products and then American businesses profit off of them by selling the products to the u.s consumers for a huge profit. And even then we still pay a very reasonable price compared to if the product was made in the USA.

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

Only 7000. Canada needs to adopt Trump’s way of thinking. Canada has too many people paying the price for the overpopulation problem.

So.. lets be clear.\n\nThe amount of administration that would be needed is insane. Trump suggested he wanted to remove legal migrants as well as people who were in the US when born but their parents arent mirgants. \n\nIt would be unprecedented level of moving people and would likely result in huge amounts of death and rape. \n\nThen while I find a worse argument the economy would collapse. A lot of illegal immigrants do work under horrific conditions, still pay tax, and get paid less than minium wage. \n\nWe saw this in florida.\n\nIf this goes ahead which I think it is reasonable to suggest it will not. A lot of people will die and literally no one stands to benefit

This is why we voted for Trump because we want our country back All of these people need to freaking go I'm sorry I'm not a bigot or a racist but come over here legally pay taxes and work instead of getting everything handed to you for free and have a multiple children over here

Trump says he wants to get rid of low skill migrants for highly skilled migrants, migrants that can actually contribute positively to the U.S economy, and not the ones who don’t pay taxes and send all the money they earned back to their home countries.

This is what we wanted and we wanted them out. I don’t care how he does it. We already been paying for them for the last four years. It’s time for them to go. They can go to Mexico and ask for asylum. Asylum is pure BS. \nThis is why we voted for Trump.❤???? to save America

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

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.

Look at those flags, hats, shirts, etc, pretty right? Hell, NO. THOSE ARE THE SAME IDIOTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD EGGS ! Look at the beer bellies. Can't afford milk but can buy beer, right? My taxes go to help pay for your health care. Why do you need it since you don't give a damn about your health to begin with! Oh yea, like trumps non-existent exercise program, the body's strength only has a finite limit it can handle.

She's going to regret voting for Trump before it's over with. When those tariffs go into affect and she like the rest of us have to pay more for every day goods.

I like what he say indocumented oropel pay in taxes 97 . Billón dólar a year waoo como te quedó el ojo mister Trump i tu vas a sacar sacar a estas personas estás loco tu i todos los que te dieron el voto ahora que se vayan todos ellos son campo a pizcar tomate lechugas chiles campana aver quien va lo que veo es un colapso en el economía americana Dios les bendiga

I'm Latino from Texas that voted for Trump and I'm not ok with this approach of deporting people that have been in the US for 15-30yrs. I'm here because of Ronald Reagan, went to college have been contributing over half a million a year and paying taxes and my family have never asked for any money from the US. There are many like myself that have family members that will continue to contribute to the US.

Why not ask Trump to spend a couple days to work on these farms that requires manual work like picking vegetables, I bet that he wouldn't last an hour, and the majority of the American people don't want to do that back breaking work for little pay, so if he reports all these illegal immigrants whats going to happen? I don't think there is a bigger fool in America than shit for brains DONALD TRUMP.

once they deport millions of illegal immigrants, I hope that she, Donald Trump and all of his followers are willing to do all of the undesirable jobs that pay next to nothing that they leave behind. I wonder how good are her apple picking skills in scorching heat. Or maybe working in a sweatshop 16 hours a day with no air conditioning would be more to her liking. those geniuses don't have a clue about what they voted for.

Who give a shit how much\nThey need to take that money out of the DNC\nBiden /Harris caused this because they thought they could buy 15 million votes.\nEvery taxpayer who voted for Biden/Harris should have to pay.\nCan you imagine the freak out session if Trump would have let 15 million illegals in?\nIf we can give Bidens corrupt buddies in Ukraine 200 billion,, then this is no big deal

So Mexico is still not paying for the wall, have they ever heard of tunnels? the American people didnt elect trump, that would mean all Americans voted for him and they didnt!

Trump avoids prison and we're sentenced to four years..If you are Latino and voted for this Monkey..You will pay the price........América is Great!! The American dream..Get ready for Deportation Latinos..Latin America and Mexico....

The chickens are now coming home to roost. Those Trump voter blue collar workers who stop by Home Depot every morning to pick up the same illegals that they want deported, will now have to find willing “legals” and pay up. I love it!

Donald Trump is going to pay all fees out of his pocket cause he was to government is not going to

And this is the “family values” administration. Couldn’t give a fuck less about her hard working family who came here for a better life and added value to our country. Absolutely disgusting!!\n\nI’m a New Yorker and a Sephardic Jew (Sephardic Jews are Spanish Jews). You couldn’t pay me to vote for Trump to do anything but spend the rest of his miserable existence in prison, where he belongs!! You have to have some seriously severe mental illness to support that scumbag! You’re even sicker if you’re a woman who voted for someone to take away your rights and have complete control over your body and your health!!! Say what you want about NYC, but at least here us women have complete control over our bodies!!!

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

So its a good thing Melania and her father got their papers due to her marriage to Trump already or they would be deported...such luck! How lucky she was to get in with an Einstein VISA even though she's dumb as a rock, allegedly, while undocumented workers and those who have filed for asylum or applied for a visa have to wait 20 or 30 years to get it, if they get residency at all after paying the last dime to the immigration lawyers who scam them.

I say give the latino community what they voted for even if it means getting rid of 100s of thousands of tax paying citizens who happen to be illegal immigrants who am I to tell the latino community what's best for them? Puerto Ricans were forced from their homeland due to Hurricane Maria and resettled in my home state of Florida they overwhelming voted for Trump in 2020 so I say let's help our fellow Americans by not complaining feeling bad or commenting on mass deportation they voted for it and they clearly know what's best for themselves

you voted for Trump despite Kamala's warnings. Now you're crying that you're going to pay more for products and that you're going to be deported. ??Leave now and don't come back.

The cost is $60-$90,000 to hold one immigrant for one year average length to stay 3 to 5 years and that is a private facility run by contractors. cost for one convict in a state or federal prison 35,000 so who is learning their pocket and they’ve had people at least private facilities for seven years. Under Donald Trump‘s plan 1 million immigrants will be rounded up. Estimated cost 1 trillion.. and Donald Trump is at least rounding up 10 million you’re paying for it

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

You know that if Trump found a way to funnel undocumented worker pay to himself there wouldn't be any deportations.

When a lot of these Trump supporters realize how badly that Trump has screwed them and lied to them and a lot of these companies start laying off people by the thousands because the companies cannot afford to pay these tariffs and pay all the employees they have, and the whole time Elon Musk in the Trump family are sitting on their golden toilets and eating bonbons in their ivory towers, Trump and his minions better beef up their security that’s all I’m gonna say

Another uneducated Trump supporter and like all uneducated Trump supporters we the tax payers will end up paying for all this

The reality is Trump will deport the dangerous criminals. And give a moratorium to those illegals who work for low wages, with no criminal record, who support the elites and far left's business empires and property portfolios.\n\nAs a businessman he will weigh up the enormous cost of deporting the insane number of illegals Biden/Harris deliberately let in, with the value some may have in staying as long as they contribute, pay tax, and stay out of trouble. But the criminals, the gangs, and the sleeper terrorist cells must be deported to protect America and Americans.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

New York is worst, Every month $2000 EBT free food, free insurance Medicaid, free school meals, yearly children tax credit $20,000, with cash job. Wake up America, Trump will do in good, if not your tax money will be run out in Bankruptcy USA. How much you earn and pay tax.

That’s why Trump targeted all uneducated people because he sounds good in talk but doesn’t do anything either. I wish we could start again like 20 years ago because now some illegal migrants that have been here for 5-20 years think they have American rights they are still illegal and have no American rights. All criminals, people collecting federal/ state benefits are anyone coming over here pregnant should be consider illegal. I’m willing to pay to clean up our country then paying to support these illegal migrants. If they own a home they should be deported too because I’m sure they lied or committed fraud to even buy a home. We all work our life to obtain our dream but they are given preference instead of veterans, our homeless and American people.

I hope you understand that when he says they will roll back the democrats massive extension of the federal government to pay for Trump programs, they mean undo medicare and social security.
