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.

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

One thing i know is that our president Claudia will not get intimidating by anybody including Trump. He will find out soon!! It's about time to stop depending on USA rules and policies that only apply to the rest of the world not to them. USA should do something about their drugs addiction population and stop blaming México for being USA drugs dealer ?

DJT is going to take credit for those low border numbers. TRUST ME. He called BIDEN the worst president ever (DJT doesn't know history). Biden has worked for a cease fire in the Middle East (watch Trump take credit) and he'll try and take credit for the border numbers.

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.

Trump is warning companies now so they can immediately move back into America with a tax holiday. He knows what he's doing. The cartels run Mexico. He knows who he is dealing with.

And the slowing and progress of Bidens economy is undermined just like that. MAGA time. I didnt know the depression and ww2 were the great times Americans voted to come back. He's bringing back the depression and ww3 like he said he wouldn't but he always wanted. Trumps goal is to bring America to her knees so Putin can have her way with her.

Trumps gonna make mexico a super power lol. Trump knows nothing about economics.

Trump gonna take Mexico’s presidents lunch money and she knows it and knows there’s nothing she can do

The President of Mexico. She is a female and she is very smartcheck. Her background because she knows what's going on. And Donald Trump does not know the laws of the global. World, he just wants to do what he wants to do. I'm telling you everybody. It's going to be the roughest 4 years of everybody's life. You voted for this man. You wanted him and he's trying his best to do what he said. He's going, but he is going to fail miserably. There is no chance that he's going to winanything that he says that he's going to do. This is all the world makes deals and makes things go round and roundfor everybody. In this globe, sincerely yours watch out for all the hectics. Call me from elect president trumphe is going to hurt our The way we do things?????????

Of course, prices will go up, but that's not the main issue here. Besides, liberals are the last group who should be complaining about rising costs! The real question is who will suffer the most. President Trump has done this before—if you recall, he did it last time, and within 30 days, Mexico secured the border. She's playing politics right now, as expected, but I guarantee she'll eventually back down. The price increases you keep mentioning will impact their economy far more than ours, and she knows this. It's a negotiation tactic, and in the end, Trump will secure the border. She can't just give in or she'll appear weak. She has to play the political game, but I can guarantee they've already had discussions and are working on a deal. If you believe politicians are always transparent, you're being naive. They say one thing to the public while doing something completely different behind closed doors.

If you do not know there are too many undocumented immigrants in California we need Donald Trump's help now

These two up top are trying to create controversy. The fact is everyone knows Mexico will lose in the end, this isn't a tit for tat endeavor, Trump means business, Mexico should have shut down their southern border to invaders long ago but sadly the cartels run Mexico not their president so when there's illegal money to be made their president it seems wears blindfolds !

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.

Trump doesn't care about the results of his tariffs. He wll blame the destructive results on someone else. He is just eladed to know that he will not be held accountable and doesn't have to go to prison. He will spend his presidency golfing and attending rallies to get his dose of endorphins from his MAGA sycophants.

Trump is the reason why they have slowed down at the border. They know he is going to close the border. Your lies are ridiculous.

She's naive if she thinks Mexico got something for the U.S. She cant even reign in the Cartels which basically controls her Government much more the U.S.? Before we know it once Trump is seated she'll kiss Trump's ring ?

Trump is making enemies with our allies! And if he removes the United States from nato, be will just isolate the United States ?? making us weak! Thats exactly what putin wants! Trump is not trying to benefit the United States! Trump is just trying to benefit himself financially! I dont trust trump! I dont like trump! And i know he doesn't have the United States in his best interest! Trump will destroy the United States from the inside out just like he does to all his corporations! People say he's a great business man? Well all of his businesses have mostly gone bankrupt!!

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.??‍♂️

Even as an American, I fully support Sheinbaum on this. She shouldn't take this mess from Trump, who doesn't truly know the effects of these proposed tariffs. An American politician trying to play hardball with Canada and Mexico is some nasty work.

Funny to see some magats say Trump was a self made billionaire. Seems like watching fox news could lead to brain damage. Don't they know trump was born rich? His dad was a real estate developer. ?

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.

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?

Wow a woman Mexican president. Now she is in bigggg trouble with big boss Trump! We know how he feels about minority women.

Total gaslighting going on here. The only reason illegal migration is so bad is that the Mexican government doesn’t control their borders or the cartels. Get real with your commentary. President Trumps is already successful just in letting them know he’s coming and no more bs will be tolerated from mealy-mouthed Mexican presidents who are funneling these millions north.

You should have counted those who didnt fall for your meritless vote as one. The ones who did this to me, Google indicates at least Pelosi and Trump let me know that onky two% of voters actually know what you colluded to do to me. That is 2% after standing out on the sidewalk with my protest sign, writing letters to the DOJ and HHS eight years back and somehow getting a law enforcement officer to Google this garbage you collused to do to my body on the internet. Before you ordered me slaughtered on the surveilled sidewalk and made sure the witnesses would disappear. I am watching you derive approval in some of his nominees, tell your party to work hard, make sure your topic yields the right voter approval and wait two years as voting history switches back and forth. Kiss that -**. You helped elect him

F course the numbers are low, they know they gotta go once trump shows up

Does she not know that Trump plans to reverse citizenships of persons that were not born in this country? FAFO

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!!!!

False bravado, on her part. She's praying to God that Trump doesn't initiate a fight that she very well knows he would win.

She doesn’t know she is f’iking with. This is Trump!!!! He does not threaten … he does it.

Donald Trump's evilness and Obsession is going to have countries go to Russia and China and North Korea as allies. Just like Cuba \n....hmmmmm..... knowing Russian Useful Asset Putin's Lap Puppy.... it's all for Russia

“Trump says Mexico has been taking advantage of a very unbalanced trade agreement, in his first term. Biden did a review on Trump’s tariff and decided not to reverse that.” Booyah! As always, look at the substance of his policies. You all should know even my Mexican friends know that their corrupt govt bureaucrats keep all the USforeign aid money to enrich themselves. It doesn't trickle down to its people.

So we import Lumber, oil, cars, and more from Canada. So gas is going up Lumber is going up, and cars are going up. The last Trump admin Trump hit Canada with a 25% Tariff on steel, Canada then slapped in response a 25% and dollar for dollar Tariff on US products. I'll say it again Trump does NOT know what a Tariff is or works. So if your in a hurricane state and are re-building your getting hit with a 25% plus increase.

Doesn't she know that once Trump puts a tariff down and she puts one down in response and the cartels start losing money she's gonna get fucked waaaay before Trump. Thus no tariff in response from Mexico because she doesn't wanna get wacked

Imagine thinking that tariffs will magically solve problems with cartels and drugs. Like oh wow, Trump knew the solution the whole time and nobody could figure it out for decades... but a reality TV B-lister knows the answer! It's like using Gatorade to water crops. We are on our way!

CNN is a joke. Border crossings are down because they know Trump isn't playing like Biden did. Mexico could do a ton more to secure the border. The fact that border arrests are down is not proof that it is not an issue.

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

Guy this is reason why cnn lost in this election the voters has spoken, that lady talking about Greg Abbott' do not know what she's saying, trump has been consistent and that lady cannot be more informed than the sitting of tx gov Abbott'

Mexico has NOT helped a lot. You live in a fantasy. The reality is everyone knows that the cartels run that country. Trump is right and we'll see how Mexico do when American's start boycotting Mexico products. They need us more than we need them. America First!

These clowns on the other side of the borders will negotiate with Trump. Especially knowing that we are a top consuming nation. That will lose them billions of dollars. Seeing the liberals crying is so funny. Mexico will be the first to break and especially when the cartel doesn't make any more money. So many companies will move back to the United States to avoid the high taxes. These clowns on the panel are so dumb lmao.

She’s president of Mexico Trump can’t intimidate her because she’s a woman, she’s strong woman and she will respond to him in professional ways. Trump is bully and he doesn’t know how tariffs will affect America economy. He’s not good for economy and he lied about knowing everything about tariffs while he is not good.

I've been working on these cases on the border for nearly 25 years. I've never seen it as slow as it is right now and it has been for the last year or so on the Texas border in the Western District. There are simply no new cases only a very few and anyone who works here in the federal court system knows this. This is Trump's effort to create a problem and then offer himself as the solution in order to manipulate people and obtain whatever ends they want to obtain such as project 2025. It's the Hegelian dialectic in action and enough people sell for it to put him back into office.

I am a Latino teen. My mother and her 2 sisters came to America illegally years ago,my mum struggled and got her papers 2 years ago but her sisters are still struggling to get theirs. But my mum secretly voted for trump but lied to my aunties that she voted for kamala Harris. My mom told me to never tell my aunties who she truly voted for but I feel bad for them. I don't know why mother did what she did. Why mom? my aunties has always been there for me, still is.?

Don’t feel sorry for any racist MAGA losers and never will. You had 9 years of knowing this fascist dictator and his antics, you sealed your fate with that wasted vote. June 16, 2015 will be the most consequential day in history, the horrible day Trump came down his golden escalator to wreak havoc.

Wow Mexican-American would rather support an idiot who is getting ready to Deport her very own family and she is ok with that! It goes to show how mindless his supporters can truly be! F my family Trump is the one for me! How do that work?? Wow what a sheep she is! I can see her helping whomever leads the way on these deportations by show then where he family is to help get em deported man if this is not the Devil workings I don’t know what is!

The key word she says think she has no idea what she's talking about so they put someone on TV to pretend that they know what they're talking about Wonder Woman that knows is Donald Trump

She doesn’t have a care about anyone but herself, delusional woman, doesn’t she know that Trump and his cronies would send her back too 1st chance they got!!
