Cut the Financial Aid you give to Mexico and THEY WILL PATROL their own damn border. Good for Trump.

JVL of the Bulwark pointed out that tariffs are the fastest way for a dictator to take over a nation's entire business community. Trump gets every CEO on bended knee, starting with Bezos. And in addition, tariffs are a huge personal revenue source for Trump, and don't imagine that he won't find a way to lay hold of that stream. Michael Cohen has pointed out how MBS modeled for Trump how to turn a national wealth fund into a personal income account, and tariffs check all the boxes for massive grift.\nFinally, tariffs rationalize the catastrophic tax cuts Trump is financing for himself and his friends, so they look good on paper. They ruin nationa and trade relationships, but hey. It's a win win win for Donald Trump, who won the election.

CUT ALL FUNDING TO MEXICO. They have had a free ride for way to long. Good for Trump!

How far did trump get bullying and threatening tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China in 2016-2020? Didley squat, good luck.

Not good, thanks to Donald Trump ?

lol why do the brainless sheep believe trump when he says China is paying for the tariffs?? - nothing could be further from the truth - it is the usa importers who pay the tariffs and they in turn pass on those increased costs to the american consumers. So when trump says he will put 60% tariffs on Chinese goods, it means that the american consumers will have to pay at least 60% more for those goods.

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.

Say good bye to cheap cars. If you think cars were expensive after Covid wait till trump starts his plan. And you can say well, Americans will start buying American made cars, but since American made cars will go up in demand so will the price and no one b it the elites will win. Prepare to be more poor than before

Canadas leading poll candidate for PM just said “Trump has a right to put America first, I will do the same for Canada… we trade over 60% off all of our goods with America. We will focus securing this relationship over all others.”

Ignoring retaliatory tariffs (China, Mexico, and Canada could slap on tariffs on goods they import from the United States) that would drive down demand for goods exported from the United States, Trumps tariffs would raise prices a lot for consumers, even if the tariffs would help some domestic producers.

THESE REPORTERS FROM CNN LIVE UNDER A ROCK. THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING FOR THE MONEY THAT CNN PAYS THEM. THE SCHEME IS AS FOLLOWS.................CNN TELLS THEM WHAT TO SAY AND HOW TO ATTACK TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND ANYONE TRYING TO DO GOOD TO AMERICA AND THE CNN REPORTERS OBEY TO THE T SO THIS WAY THEY COLLECT THEIR PAY CHECKS.

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

What did he say? Hhhhh actually Mexico is not the main problem but the main platform causing the problem and altought they could close the border properly they never did and therefor shoulld pay npt that Trump cares about them anyway. Good hit. Canada, Mexico and China in one shut. Good start as usual .

4:25 USA, a tit-for-tat response is the least thing to worry about. Trump is a lame duck for these 4 years, pkus JD Vance has good reasons to ... dispose of Trump and take control. So, how about giving Canada and Mexico 2 months to divert 10% of USA food and energy to other markets as retaliation to stupidity. Better still, we could crush your Christmas with 15% higher costs on most thing, plus partner eith China to divert USA inventory to our ports. This could be really bad for dumb Trumpers.

Trump is an idiot and he's going to tank the Midwest red States producing farm products. Those farming red states export to those countries that trump will tariff and those countries are going to set their own tariffs on the US imported products including farm produce, auto goods etc. But hey they voted the idiot in and now they get what they get. ?

but china using mexico to import alot of goods to USA and mexican not getting much from it!!!! i support trump move 1000%

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

Am I wrong? How can trump cut inflation when tariffs only increase the cost of consumer goods. Did he learn this at Whartons School? hmmm...

All these morons thought this idiot was going to lower prices of food, goods, and gas. Good luck with that. \nHis first day in office he is going to put huge tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. \nThis in turn will make prices go UP considerably, Simple math Trump could never understand. \nOh, and wait until there is NO ONE to work the fields . Vegetables and fruit will be sky high. \nUnbelievably, this is what people voted for

Hello CNN! Good evening We live in a democracy is these elections and the essence ok And sometimes you win sometimes los I have look elections you know no likes to lose,as Trump’Is literally what does that means,the elections our conservative,who I have nothing:.But you get on the phone:Saying today ;In common in the Foundation I am deeply concerned the friends out these .Welcome President we victory the winner,you don’t fay I can lose an election He’s going to win , So I would hope but people like understand of American Democracy,and we will see what happen if three fraud; that even with politically,May disagree with me,On every issue so yes ; So the charms Senate Liz Cheney,for example,that President Donald Trump does is not believe democracy!we love you 50 State America!as example Pennsylvania,Georgia , Savanna,Chicago , Michigan, New York City,Florida,May that all Policy of 50 State anywhere color’s black and white,FBI CIA etc!I thanked her and him!I don’t forgot 7 Million American we love you of all heart for me we love America . Listen my new address it’s 7282 Wharfside Ln Apt 2B Indianapolis! Family members all the way very long but I hope progress en progress also each day thank you so much everyone very Welcome again dear President Trump…As you be back in the beautiful White House for second times May that my Father Gosh continue blessing and your Government I thinks so before times finish your mandate possibility the change your Idea personally! Me I am pick out the party Democrats??????????????????In God we trust ?Thank you CNN have a good night ?

Good, I'm glad.You think it's under control now?Trump can focus on deporting the ones that did sneaky snake into the country.

Did she REALLY say that Mexico has done a lot to help the Biden administration curtail illegal immigration and help with the security of the southern border? Lol!!!! Record illegal immigration happened during the first 3.5 years of the Biden administration, in great part helped by the Mexican government. The only reason that the Biden administration(and Mexico) increased border security is because it was election time and Biden knew that the American voters were pissed. It is amazing how dishonest the corrupt mainstream media is. Wow! It's a good thing that most Americans are now able to see through the mainstream media bullshit and were able to re-elect President Trump and the Republicans back to power.

Now watch when trump supporters blame democrats cause tariffs raise prices. Not only does Trump want to climate migrant jobs, but he will eliminate all the money migrants and, yes, illegals spend on goods and services that greatly help our economy. We need Canada and Mexico more than they need us.

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

I agree with trump make America great again, we do not need cheap labor to harvest our fields, nor to clean our houses, nor to clean our dirt. We as Americans can do it, nor do we need to import food or goods not produced in our country our land can grow by our hands bananas,rice,corn,beans all year long even in cold snow winter, when can make cars and tractors and allow china to grow in the markets that we remove our companies pure american pride we can do it

It's called initial posturing. Mexico's done it before but they caved in big time and gave Trump what he wanted. The last thing Mexico wants is 25% tariffs on the goods they sell to the US.

I am a Canadian and the province in which I live trades with the U.S. so obviously both countries will suffer\n with higher tariffs. If Americans think that these tariffs are a good thing for America you better think again. Obviously prices will rise.As I have been thinking all along Trump will ruin America and the world.

Scott Bessent: \n\n“Another differentiated view that we have is that Trump will pursue a weak dollar policy rather than implementing tariffs. Tariffs are inflationary and would strengthen the dollar--hardly a good starting point for a US industrial renaissance. Weakening the dollar early in his second administration would make U.S manufacturing competitive. A weak dollar and plentiful, cheap energy could power a boom. The current Wall Street consensus is for a strong dollar based on the tariffs. We strongly disagree. A strong dollar should emerge by the end of his term if the US reshoring effort is successful.”

To all billionaires that voted for Trump, you will do well. To the working class that voted for Trump, good luck to ya?

If Trump does tariffs on Mexico we are F’d! Thanks to all the maga morons! I wonder how much of his supporters will support him once we feel the consequences of his policies. Deport millions of illegals-good luck with that! ??? show! Let’s see who wants to work American agriculture! Maybe Trump and his family? Followers? ???

Good, I'm glad the President of Mexico just told trump to eat ?

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”

People keep commenting on Trump‘s business experience. His business experience is a failure., his so-called successes win, have been what they were if he paid his bills paid his contractors. He’s a sleazy dishonest businessman just like he’s a sleazy, dishonest spouse just like he’s a sleazy, dishonest human being.! the only thing he’s good at and he’s really good at it is lying and creating a façade. Thanks to his self parody success on TV..,

Good for her. She shouldnt take his shit. Nobody should sell anything to the US. Then they can buy their own crap for way more money. Trump is such a LOSER. He has NO fucking CLUE.

Democrats just can’t understand what good trump tariffs will do. They have to be shown instead of told

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.

imagine what could’ve happened & the relationship that could have been built between 2 strong women in the office lol america would’ve moved forward not backwards good job voting for trump

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.??‍♂️

They want increased tariff, lower price and voted Trump? Good luck!

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

Most of the goods used in America are imported, all fruit and vegetables are picked and farmed by immigrants. Just wait for Trump and his tariffs and see if you will be able afford your food. Clothes will out of reach. You people wanted your king, now you have him. If you travel here in the USA, who's gonna clean your hotel room? Should be interesting.???????

Trump supporters buy a lot of his memorabilia and items besides the red hat, yet they complain about the prices of goods. Why not stop buying the Trump stuff?

Trump knows how to negotiate!! We have not seen good negotiations in 4 years!!! Give Trump a chance to put this country on the right path!! CNN is nothing but lard left wing propagandists!!! Don’t listen to these lies from CNN and the main stream media. Remember these are the people that told you, Joe Biden was mentally sharp for years. They lie!!!!

Good for her? Heads up to our Canadian and Mexican friends, please remember half of America disagrees with this clown trump!

Trump always afraid of smart woman, LOL he just about to get a good spanking from President of Mexico LOL

Good luck to Mexico in its struggle with these primitive Trump animals. Greetings from Europe

If jobs are lost in Mexico where do you think these unemployed people will go? Trump is not a financial genius but a very good con man. Remember Trump has gone bankrupt six times.

that is not good , Mr Trump treat others how would like 2 be treated .
