Thats ok we should made everything in US. They sure didnt care if we had to pay tariffs.

So in other words mexico and canada are saying to the united states that they don't care how many people die of fentanyl. They just want.\n Retaliatory tarrif. Trump should raise the tariff to fifty percent immediately

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

Why does the Canadian Prime Minister care so much about what would happen to US citizens? If it is so bad for Americans, then it is good for Canada right? So Canada should be cheering for tariffs.

King Trump and his wealthy friends will not care about tariffs. Broke and middle class Americans will be hurt the most

the fact is that those who transition have to take hormonal treatments for the rest of their life. regardless of the qualities someone who is trans may have placing them in military units create problems. in addition there is the fact that transitioning may have other long term health effects that would raise the cost of medical benefits for our soldiers and veterans. this is not the simple issue of discrimination based on sexual identity that CNN wants to portray it as. whether we have a tax based economy or a tariff economy in the future up until now it is the American taxpayer that has had to fund military expenses including health care for our soldiers and veterans.

? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AMERICANS. TARIFFS MEAN WE WILL PAY MORE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FOOL IS THE PRESIDENT.

Nobody cares or buys anything from Latin America. The high tariffs are meaningless.

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.

Who cares about the tariffs, those people are their problems not the US. Fix your issues before you dump them on the US.

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

TRUMP should raise it to 85% Tariffs. Who cares about the food. Time to show WHO IS BOSS\n WITCH TRUMP TRAIN

China the only country don't care about tariffs ?. Other countries better learn to build their own.

? nobody cares about your silly tariffs, stay away from Mexico

Columbia doesnt pay the tariff for their products coming into the US, WE DO! Do you realize this, or do you MAGAts even care?

Is there a single Trumper that understands how tariffs actually work? Americans pay the tariff, Colombians won’t much care.

I dont think the cartels actually care about tariffs. Does Columbia have any other real trade with the US?

I don't think the cartels care too much about tariffs... lol

Trump... I fix everything, me Tariff all, yes good plan me smart... enemy... ally... me no care... fxck all who don't like god trump

Why is he seriously thinking that Tariffs will somehow benefit the american People, not that i care all that much but Tariffs will have to be paid by Americans themselves

He doesn’t care to pay for Tariffs he’s already a millionaire

Trump is so dumb. The countries don’t care about his stupid tariffs as it will only hurt us Americans. Tariffs get passed on to us and not the country being tariffed ?

25% - 50% Colombina retaliation Tariffs is little peanuts.\nOur 25% Tariffs will have them pay millions in days and a billion in just a month. How can their economy survive this. They better listen this wildness or they'll collapse their own in economy in half a year or a year if they manage it carefully

Well done! Refuse to take your own Colombian Citizens back, then accept the Tariffs.\nColombia, you better take care of your own people.

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

They're going to make groceries cheaper by enacting tariffs and deporting everyone that harvests our crops for low wages - and processes our meats -- those in favor of that should go do those jobs. IF politicians really cared about illegal immigration they'd aggressively investigate and prosecute those that hire them ... IF they didn't know the economy needs that work force ... and IF they didn't love cheap labor more than their children ...

Corporations rule this nation - not politicians. They don't care about immigration, legal or not, or illegal drugs coming in... they care about sucking the money out of whomever. High prices will stay high, tariffs or not. Vampires exist, people!!

Who cares about tariffs? Climate change is obviously the single most important issue. You won't have groceries to buy when Earth will be F***ed...

Mexico can place tariffs, nobody will care

What a bunch of bull shit...tariffs and a lot of them. Shut down your stinken boarder Mexico. Pull your heads out so you can see what is happening. We don't want your drugs We don't want your illegal immigrants from all over the freaking world. Shut your borders and deal with your cartel drug lords. Bring on the tariffs We don't care about Mexican products. Whatever we can't get America will make.

Who cares if they put a tariff on us? We are a consumer nation. Stuff coming in, not really going out.

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.

All of a sudden we have to be careful of what Mexico’s president has to say? We are the strongest economy and we’ve been put to the test. We can do with or without. Tariffs mean better competition and manufacturing jobs to increase here in the US; more jobs = more money being earned and spent within our economy. What a slap on our American face with her statement when they’re the ones supplying the drugs. Let’s stop the consumption and see how well their economy and politics do.

God I hope Trump goes ahead and imposes all those tariffs. Unfortunately, that’s the only way those idiots will learn that Trump only cares about him and his billionaire friends.

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.

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

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!!

It’s the American people that will be paying tariff… not Mexico, why do they care. If USA not buying them, they’ll just make the deal somewhere else and then increase the price when US wants to deal again.

Put the tariff mr trump this woman doesn't care

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

MAGA: FAFO: \n1. Massive layoffs in automotive, housing and construction, and white goods happening right now due to coming tariffs.\n2. No Christmas bonuses because your company is buying up as much supplies before tariffs hit.\n3. Are you going to take all the crop picking jobs about to be available?\n4. How about the soon to be plentiful garbage collection, sewer and septic tank cleaning, dishwashing/waiter/waitress/cook, greenskeepers, house cleaning, nanny care, etc jobs soon to be available?

Trump promised Tariffs, and that is what his voters expect. Tariffs on all imports will make Trump supporters very happy. Also, Trump supporters want Obama Care, otherwise known as the “Affordable Health Care Act,” to be ended and Trump really wants his supporters to be happy.

yeah, don't see Maduro even caring about Trump making threats of tariffs if he doesn't accept Venezuelans back. As the rest of the continent know (like my own country, Chile), it's pretty clear he couldn't care less about people leaving Venezuela, less so about being diplomatic or having sanctions (they already have so many piled on). Airplanes with deported migrants wouldn't be able to land in Caracas

Trump will say China was scared of tariffs and never impose them. Then he will say the illegals left on their own so he doesn’t have to deport them. You know promises made promises kept. Then he will do nothing with health care and just rename it Trump care.

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

This is not gonna happen. Just like having a plan to replace the affordable care act didn'thappen, or , infrastructure, building the wall. Much money was spent... who knows where, somewhere into the pockets of rich companies and nothing was done. Meanwhile tariffs will raise the cost of everything. He'll attempt to somehow blame Biden and Obama. It's all just ridiculous!!

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

This guy is delusional and will send America into abject poverty between this and their tariffs America will be totally impoverished and starving. Senior, disabled, veterans' poor women and children they don't care about anybody. In 2019, under tRump more illegals came in then during Obamas entire terms, the lines were longer creating health and sanitation issues on both side of the border, the wall is useless waste of time and money! God help save our planet!
