Trump has no clue how Tariffs work he only hurting the USA.

Not long after Trump gave them the Tariff speech - a bunch of Columbian Airport runways just opened up !

If you all support Trump, remember you have to support his tariffs if someone doesn't back down the next time. That means you pay more for certain products. You either support his actions or not.

Imagine, if Trump issues 25% tariffs to all countries on this planet.

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Who is more sacred colombia with 25% US tariffs or the US with these new enemies trump made: Denmark UK Canada Mexico Panama Colombia. Comment.

We need such measures in our progressive EU! Receive your depoded citizens or face immediate tariffs ?. But the EU ain't no Trump, sadly. Nobody in the EU would ever agree on such tariff measures.

WHITEHOUSE, COLOMBIA HAS AGREED TO ALL OF PRESIDENT TRUMPS TERMS. U.S. TARIFFS WILL BE HELD ON RESERVE.

They send our people packing back to america because of trumps words, and then tRUMP, in response, threatens back, and then, THEEEN slaps tariffs on US!!! HAHA THE F#CKERY OF IT ALL IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!

WHITEHOUSE, COLOMBIA HAS AGREED TO ALL OF PRESIDENT TRUMPS TERMS. U.S. TARIFFS WILL BE HELD ON RESERVE.

Trump's tariffs will hurt America. Columbia's will probably hurt Columbia, too. That's why it's called a trade war. It's a conflict of economic attrition. Who hurts the worst the longest usually folds; but a depression can also be triggered by such, as Herbert Hoover's tariff fought trade wars contributed to the Crash of 1929. So are we dancing toward catastrophe? Possibly. Go ahead and laugh. Personally I'll wait for my schadenfreude - it'll be delicious. ???

When prices go up, Trump will blame the Democrats for over regulations. If Columbia/Mexico/China/Canada plays chicken with Trump and back off the tariffs first, Trump will drop his tariffs and claim victory. Trump's base will eat this up!

It should be reported every time that Trump is hitting Americans with higher prices on imports like coffee. This reporting is confusing and misleading to the millions of Americans that don't understand what a tariff is. Propaganda is what it is.

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

I think Trump is itching for excuses to slap tariffs on countries.

Trump has the tariff OCD

Boy Trump is dilevering on his mandate as planned. As soon as tariff was threathened thec columbiam prisident sending his personal plane for illegal imigrants. Well done again Trump.

The convicted felons Trump do the damn thing again if he doesn't gets his way to tariff as weapons. When will US wake up he makes US a joke.

Trump is attacking his own people with tariffs He's attacking the American import Not Colombia

???Hey MAGA, your cost for a cup of coffee just went up! Trump just imposed a 25 percent “emergency” tariff on all Colombian imports, which will be raised to 50 percent in a week!

Trump Tariffs hit the American working class in the gut!

The world needs to come together and start hitting the US with massive tariffs for the next 4 years. Make a point to Trump.

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

Columbia is just going to hit us with tariffs. Trump is going to isolate America from the world. He wants us to be big North Korea

Trump lovers doe not have the intelectual ability to comprehend why the plane was not allowed to land. They also do not understand that the tariffs will be paid by them

First of all he is President Trump you know just like you referred to Biden as President Biden and not Joe Biden . Secondly the tariffs that were going to be imposed on Columbia , that wasn’t a threat it was a promise . Apparently they have forgotten about who they are trying to push around because those days are long since gone.

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

The Americans, the end users/consumers pay the tariffs imposed by Trump. The importer/exporters passes this additional cost/tax to end users/consumers. The government earns this tariffs...as simple as that.

Trump and the MAGA morons should look up the meaning of trade in a dictionary. There is a give and take, there’s buying and selling, that meets the needs of both parties. Trade tariffs is not how anyone with common sense wants to deal with any and every minute dispute like a senseless toddler. Both sides get hurt. Even the tariffs on Russia hurt other countries that imposed them too and that was a calculated move because the war calls for extreme measures.\nWhat the Trump sycophants that probably can’t read need to know is that Colombia accepted hundreds of these flights in the last few years. The only reason they pushed back now is on human indignity. This is the first they received a flight with their civilians cuffed up like animals. The Colombian president said that is not how you treat humans, at least not my people, send them back in a civilised way where they are not dehumanised and we’ll take them. He even sent his own planes later and took them back.\nA sane leader would order his team to review the process and advise them of appropriate measures going forward. An insane, thin skinned snowflake throws tantrums in their diapers and these Trump tariffs are precisely that. Sure, this will reduce the cost of living for the idiots that voted for him ??‍♂️

correction Americans have been hit with Tariffs from Trump. food product prices going up.

Explain it to them through THEIR lens. Thats what they care about. Here is an example: feel free to use it:\nYou buy a GE company bulb that is made in China for $10.\nNow trump imposes a 25% tariff on imports from China. \n1. Who collects the Tariff: The US Govt.\n2. Who pays the extra 25%? GE. \n3. Is GE a philanthrophic/charity organization? No. So why will they bear the cost of the exta 25%?\n4. So what do they do? Now your bulb costs $12.5.\n5. Why? Because 25% of 10 is 2.5. So 10+2.5=12.5\n6. What does this increase in price mean? Inflation.\n7. Wont this encourage make in America? No, because you deported immigrants and now you have to pay american wages. Suddenly your bulb costs $20 because GE pays minimum wage to an American. So yeah, now everything is made in America but you are homeless paying more for everything.

Trump needs to learn the world is not at his knees. He is an obnoxious bully who thinks he and he alone can save the world. In less than one week he has insulted, threatened and lied so many times I lost count. Releasing convicted criminals who amongst other things, assaulted police officers. All this from a convicted felon! Well Donnie, go ahead and impose your tariffs on the world. America, because of you has become a pariah amongst the rest of the world.

Does trump not realize he’s screwing all his rich friends companies with these tariffs

So Columbia has agreed to come pick up their own people from Honduras and retaliated with tariffs back to us. Trump didn’t win anything.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

And Columbia will issue tariffs on the US to match, as well as take its trade to other countries more favorable to them! The USA loses because Trump is the biggest loser! Anyone who thinks that a man who lost the fortune his father gave him and bankrupted 5 companies, one of which was a casino, will be able to grow the US economy is uneducated, ignorant of the facts and truth and doesn't understand economics! CNN has a duty to tell the truth. Instead it is part of Trump's propaganda machine. Trump is not a king, he is a clown, a felon, fraudster, rapist, pedophile and cannot be trusted with a penny.

So, Trump's tariffs are part of his promised plan to reduce consumer pricing? Good luck with that, U.S.A!

Trump didnt do tariffs to mexico when they rejected 2 military flights becaus the retaliation would have blown up in trumps face. He did his tariffs. On columbia thinking it was no big deal. How WRONG TRUMP IS COLUMBIA will retaliate and the rest of the world will support their retaliation! Bully trump getting schooled!

Trump is such a stupid f*** Every Tariff is money out of OUR pockets. For those who don't understand the billions of commodities we use from Columbia, is probably a Trump supporter. He is such a whinny little wuss. Pretending as if he is protecting Americans as he lets insurrectionist on the street. This will fail. He most certainly will fail.

trump is ultimately only hurting Americans...such an idiot! Because Americans will not be able to afford the tariffs, hence less trade.

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

For who Trump did worst? Now coffee will raise sky high in Usa, all his tariffs only will beat Usa customers pockets??

Why isnt CNN asking why Columbia doesn't want their own citizens back? And btw.. soon as Trump made his statement on tariffs ....Columbia decided to take them back. This is EXACTLY how its supposed to be done!!!

Tariffs are like drinking raw milk while egg prices are high. Just like Trump's belief in herd immunity, it only kills the weak ones......as we enter an economy crash. Lot to ponder.

It took all of 20 minutes for Columbia's President to call Trump and agree to take back the illegals the US captured. \n\nThis shows the power of tariffs and what can happen when the US has a real leader.

If a country doesn't do what trump wants then it's tariffs and taxes ?

The Columbian president made himself look stupid...I hope Trump doesn't take the tariff off to show other countries what's going to happen to them too..if they mess around and find out ??

And Columbia hit back.Colombian president orders increase of import tariffs on US goods after Trump order

And this idiot. He is going to destroy the US Expect a spike in U.S. gas prices if Trump tariffs come in: Alberta premier
