What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

It won’t hurt them because that the Americans problem ??. You guys wanted a stupid president and you got it

He's not going to be able to do whatever he wants, as he'll find out. But the American people will be punished for it with all of these tariffs.

Boss move. America has a leader. Hard to understand why so many Americans want America to fail.

I'm an immigrant and I am in total support of President Trump. You should continue. Whole world getting American money but they don't want to help us with their own criminals...

Putin is building a military base in Venezuela. Of course, they don't want the American military landing in Venezuela.

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

Lol ok if Americans want to pay more for coffee then that's their problem

No matter what happens it's still cheaper than support All of them, hotels, cash, AIDS, food, stamps. Medical still cheaper. Think about it. And then the crime that they bring over here raping. Little girls burning people alive robbing People. And then just being over here Illegal. Breaking the law. I don't think so. Americans don't want That The Votes show what the Americans want.

Trump thinks him spitefully putting Tarifs on these countries because they aren’t bowing to to him . Trump i keep saying he doesn’t care for humanity he out of anger and him being a narcissist and no empathy behind doesn’t care if we the people are negatively affected. No but his supporters this is who they wanted. Y’all tried to hurt those Americans who are your color but you hurt your own selves.

great! \nlots of fruit, spices, coffees, chocolate, some metals, lime and other cement components, on and on and on are all about to have prices skyrocket. hope ya'll didn't want to buy any lumber, that's gonna suffer soon too\nso trump just wants to punish the american people because the columbian president refused to bend knee to his absurd display. this makes sense... *big sad sigh*

These Liberal Pinheads keep pushing their BS . Tariffs don't affect USA Consumers . Most Countries around the World have had Tariffs against the USA for Decades on certain Goods . It's a Protectionist Tool to keep USA Goods out of their Countries . The EU has had Tariffs against USA Cars for Decades now . Trump has railed against that for Years . USA Consumers will buy what they want or can Afford . If Countries that are Tariffed try to Raise the Prices of their Tariffed Goods to bet aroud the USA Tariffs , Trump could either reject their Goods with Sanctions , OR American Comsumers just won't buy them simple as that . The USA doesnt need alot of Products from other Countries Really . Those Countries need the USA Market More so they will comply with USA Demands eventually

I would appreciate and encourage the media to call it an import tax which the Americans will ultimately pay. I want to also add why weren't the logistics worked out before hand? It was a waste of tax payers money. There should be legislation worked out. Not by executive order which im seeing doesn't mean its law.

I don’t understand why Colombia wouldn’t take back their own citizens who were in the US illegally. What if they wanted to deport an American who was in their country illegally… say overstayed a visa? American should just force them to keep that person? People complain that trump is somehow off his rocker but it violates diplomatic norms to refuse to take back your own people .

What we need to do is completely cut off any financial aide the United States pumps into their country! You dont want to take back your own people, ,,we are NOT giving you an American cent!

I just don't understand why countries don't want their criminal citizens back! Save American tax dollars and let them walk back to their countries.

Well that speaks volumes now doesn’t it? Colombia doesn’t want their own people back in their country but the Americans should accept their garbage ?

Don’t they realize we the Americans voted for this. This we don’t want them here. However they’re trying to storm through. I don’t understand storming through somewhere you’re unwanted you feel ok living here, and feel you’re not an issue. The entitlement is disgusting. I’m so tired of this.

This is sad but it's necessary! We have to help our own first! If they want to come to America they need to go through the process to become Americans!

Why do these bottom feeders think they can just barge into our country? They have no rights. They don't belong here, we don't want them here. They have nothing, will only drain taxpayers. No skills, don't know the language, only want the things free that we Americans have had to work for, and now we're supposed to work to give these things to them? They come from violent places, diseased places, and many of them have and will commit horrendous acts against Americans. Thank God for President Trump and Tom Homan.

I wonder what media outlet has been telling them that it is ok for them to come into illegally and the American people will take care of them? Who has been hounding a person who wants to keep US citizens safe and housed? I think it is you CNN!

This is attempted breaking and entering, not attempted mass entry. they're already breaking the law and Americans do not want any more criminals, we have enough criminals. If you can't wait and enter legally then stay in your country.

We cant even feed our own. House and give medical care to AMERICANS. I want to see trump start to prove himself. Get tid of them. Now take care of our own

No wonder their country sucks because the men doesn't want to fight for their women children and country what a bunch of Cowards. Do what American men did fight fight fight for a better country what made America what it is and now all those cowardly men from other countries running to America and then talk shit on how great their country is after leaving it because they complain it's government is bad. They all should go back and fight for their rights. I just don't get it with these people.

Just because you want to come to America doesn't mean you get to. It is a privilege not a right. You must be able to support yourself and your family and not be a burden to Americans. We can't save the whole world. We need to take care of our elderly, homeless and veterans first.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

There are too many struggling Americans. We can't help the extreme numbers of illegal immigrants. I don't understand using so much time and resources to go to a country that doesn't want you. That can't help you.

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants

My lord ….why people don’t understand about rules . Did everyone are forgetting about 911 !?!?? Do the right thing for better future nature. But !?The problem this society social media, make people jealous about life things, materials things, make people do bad things . For that !? We are destroying the world ? . I remember when the dollar was less than 2 reais, Brazilian currency . The time was the President George W. Bush family . I never forget the tragedy on the 911 . I remember The US , send Military to find the responsible the 911 , lots money was involved to support the soldiers .Lots country the time was not involved in the 911 . But did get the chance pays all the bills too “ because the money was going down quickly , gave one good opportunity to payback he United States money ?. Then thought The Americans never get back after, 911 !? Americans are amazing people, because they’re responsible pay for their own taxes , to support the country . Resume :::::::1= pays the bills to the United States of America, so the people from another country don’t live , to come to America ??. 2= make the money universal : if don’t “ the war will getting worse . The president the United States of America , Trump deserves respect ?? if you don’t . Bad times come true , to kip the American save . So much things to do with this planet ?, but people’s always want burn ? petroleum, for not being productive enough to care about the environment planet ?. We must use more Electric ⚡️ cars , to have better chance future rainy . ?

If they want an American dream then they can come legally!

Oh CNN -- Get a grip!!!\nTry reporting REAL NEWS and stop catering to the left. Your views are in the dumpster!\n Obama & Biden & buds CREATED this MESS!!! ILLEGALS DON'T BELONG IN OUR COUNTRY!!!\n IF one wants to become an American citizen there are ways to do it LEGALLY!!!\n\n THANK GOD 4 PRESIDENT TRUMP\nThe border will be made way more secure and it needs to continue to remain secure even after he leaves office.

I earned my permanent resident status back in 2001 and joined US ARMY during war in terror and served for 8 years. While serving, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the middle of hot zones, dodging grim reaper's radar for many, many times. When I finally earned my US citizenship through military, I seamlessly transitioned into law enforcement career in New York for past 10 years, which I encountered with many illegal criminals with rap sheets- which some makes you think why they are still wondering in the street instead of locked up in the jail, having their freedom taken away. What is funny is that many of these illegal criminals have such an entitled mindset that they are deserve to be here in US without permit do whatever they want and enjoying these unbelievable benefits that these sanctuary city/state provides that we, us citizens don't even get- and we are paying for it with our hard earned money. I think I earned my citizenship with blood and sweat, same goes to many immigrant hopefuls that came to U.S with true American dream. It is time to take back our country and I 100% support with Trump's decision on this.

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

They all have nicer stuff than most Americans. They aren’t in need they just want hand outs.\nWe don’t owe them ANYTHING. AMERICA and getting handouts is OVER.

Lazy people want a free ride. I think thier American relatives should get arrested for housing them

As I know A Real Canadian never want to be an American citizen?

hahahahahhahaaaa... but they run from Mexico to USA... many mexicans,,,, plus millions of South Americans,,,, why do they all want to come to USA.... why do they not go to Brazil or Argentina?

I’m American, bet it’s no different in Venezuela than\n Jamaica, Trinidad & Haiti. \nIt was hard had to sleep with my money strapped to me. That was 15 yrs ago. \nIt’s not easy in those country unless u want to become destitute. They live in luxury here on tax payers dime. \nBcuz of my unpleasant experience,I don’t travel anymore. These countries think all Americans are rich!!!

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

The Whole World Wants A Piece Of American Pie ?

You're free loading days are over soon as we have a new prime minister, what is happening in the US will happen in Canada you want to be a Canadian you want to be American do it legally

Sad that their own President doesn't want to take care of their of their own citizens. Cause they don't want the responsibility to take care of them. Cause they have hatred towards their own citizens and this video shows how incredible incompetent their own President's are. Americans just can't support the world's population on our hard working tax dollars. This bullshit has got to stop and keep these illgel immagernts from crossing over our southern border. Fight your own problems with your own President's in your countries. We didn't ask you to invade into our country and getting a free ride off the hard working Americans tax dollars. Go back to your own countries and fight for what you want to happen over there. Or get rid of your President's and leaders that aren't doing their damn jobs.

I don't care how it gets done as long as it gets done if the cold slow them down I guess you know who's on our side so let's get her done and get the illegals gone but on another note just so you don't know how I feel properly if you hear legally welcome brand new American if you're here illegally get out do it the right way if your kids are natural Americans decide if you want them to stay with relatives or go with you but if you're illegal you got to go

This is why he was elected. They want our housing, money and medical benefits while American citizens go without!

Americans want legal ways to citizenship to be improved but we cannot accept mass, unregulated immigration. It is not sustainable. Both parties can agree on that but we can’t agree on how to fix it. The issue is that there are too many people coming and it’s overwhelming our system. It’s sad to see people upset but we have to put our own country’s interests first.

THE JOE BIDEN AND DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATION PUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GIVING THEM EVERYTHING THEY DENIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ALSO WERE IN NEED IN MANY WAYS . THEY FORGOT WHO PUT THEM IN POWER AND WHO THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT FIRST . THEY BETRAYED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY CHOSING TO REPLACE US WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS . AND THIS IS WHY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TOOK THEM OUT OF POWER AND VOTED TRUMP IN . EVERYTHING THAT TRUMP IS DOING IS EXACTLY WHAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT .

And we as Americans are fed up with illegal aliens invading our borders..Fix your own country..United States owes these people nothing.This is a crime and thats why legal citizens want them out our country

If I want to work in the USA, I have to apply for a visa and work permit, present my documents, qualifications and credentials, plus criminal record and health check, show that I have adequate medical insurance and enough money to fund my stay. If granted permission to come, I then have to present myself at an official port of entry.\n\nALTERNATIVELY, I can fly to Colombia, pay gangsters to guide me through the Central American jungle, sneaking clandestinely through several countries along the way, and pay the local cartel to smuggle me illegally across the southern US border. Then I get free transport to a US destination of my choice, free housing, free clothes and personal items, free healthcare and legal advice, and a work permit without all that pesky paperwork.

Let us remember that USA voted for their President and this is what Americans wanted. Please do not hate other countries Laws and Policies.
