Stop saying Mandate. Trumpy didn't gain supporters. Democrats just stayed home and didn't vote. Let's keep it real.

I finally understand all this support for Donald Trump. It took me a while. This isn't a small number, it's in fact now The Majority!! Hitler wasn't that popular at first either. Like in 1930s Germany and The Jews, illegals will be allowed to leave a while; then the Gestapo tactics can fully begin on those that didn't believe. I'm pretty sure many here are salivating already.

The mandate for Trump was mostly for economic reasons. My friend didn’t think or cared about deportation. He voted for Trump regarding the economy.

These Racist Congressmen, are so ignorant about the Majority Reason, why people come to this country. The Majority come because, they want a better life for themselves, and their family. They don't leave their Native Country because they want to take a Vacation to the U.S. They have every Right, to Seek A Better Future. This Country is for Every Human Being! People from All Walks Of Life, are here to STAY! Everyone has come to USA, from around the World! The Only Native Americans, were the Indians, that were here, before Christopher Columbus arrived! Did they tell Cristopher Columbus, go back to Italy, you are not Welcome Here? No Ignorant People, they ateTHANKSGIVING TOGETHER! It seems, that many people didn't learned History in School. They just went to fool around, and stay dumb! It's Ashamed!

Old girl didn't read Project 2025. The plan from Traitor Trump and the lying RepubliCONs is to denaturalize people like her and send her back, too. She wont be lonely. At least she'll have family members to be with her for the trip back to her native land.

The Caucasians didn't check in with the native Americans why should the Mexicans check in with the Caucasians

Canadian immigration must be aware concerning this massive immigration from USA cause since Biden administration didn’t control the southern border I was expecting that issue. Ilegal aliens in USA never will run to the south again, of course Canada is their plan B

There is nothing illegal about a precious 5 year old child brought to and raised in this beautiful country. Deporting kids who’ve grown up here, who know nothing but America, just because their parents didn’t file the right paperwork? Really? \nI bet over 80% of Americans are descendent of ancestors who didn’t have to file any paperwork to get to these shores. \nAmericans confusing the absolutely legitimate fight against crime, cartels, and violence with an absolutely unnecessary fight against immigration is just painful to watch.

We tried to help you guys but for the second time you didn’t listen. Don’t come crying when you get sent back to your “shit hole country”-Donald trump.

Didn't Trump's businesses hire illegal immigrants

who will clean the toilets and change the rooms in the high priced hotel rooms for 5$ hour. americans would have to live homeless on the streets on those wages and we know how republicans hate that. this will have a devastating effect on large business and food distribution chains. they were hiring illegals because they could ignore the laws regarding employees rights in working conditions and overtime. not just underpaying them but having them work under illegal conditions some using the field as their bathrooms. this will end badly and they will blame the other party for the fall out as usual. part of the minimum wage increase act was due to the fact the wages didn't match the cost of living. people couldn't afford to pay rent so they live in their car or on the streets and steal if necessary to make ends meet. these were americans doing this not illigals. people in the red states that voted for this will be the first to get burned as usual. it was the democratic party that offered the safety net for those red states.

I am not democrat or republican I am an independent so I don’t have any loyalty to any party just the constitution. With that being said deporting citizens spouses is insane the people voted to secure the boarder and to stop incentivizing illegals to come in and giving them the people’s money with no contribution. What people didn’t vote for is denationalization and ending birthright citizenship. How you pro life and say you have to protect the unborn but also taking there constitutional birthrights away. Make it make sense??‍♂️??‍♂️

It's ironic and sad because the first Cuban lady and her family will probably be deported. Commandment Stephen Miller and Trump will follow the Project 2025 plan which calls for denaturalizing and deporting any citizens not born in the US. I guess she didn't take the time to read that.

Che pdja b-osa. She didn’t pay attention that she is also included. It takes an ???

They have to go through all this hyperbolic statement, and then say all of this cruel stuff. He does not have a mandate. He received one million votes less than last time, and 20 million people didn’t show up….and before anyone goes off about dead people….do you honestly think in these four years, they didn’t take care of that? Yet the amount of registered voters remains the same. It was a 58% turnout, compared to a 66%

Mexican worry trump Claudia said didn't cry we have black Rock visit 260 CEO Rich north Americans slim and inter ocean shipping connection half world need one million worker projects USA wee haw show 1980 donkeys red hair

He didn't say legal, he said ILLEGAL immigrants. But I don't know who they think are going to take those underpaid slave-wage jobs? I guess everything will have to become automated. But the grocery prices will definitely not come down.

The illegal immigrants are not only from Mexico. They’re from China and in other countries. The administration gave them false information, putting all these people in jeopardy. If anybody is to blame, it’s Biden's administration and their lack of common sense. It’s evident that they didn’t care about these people anyway and used them for their agenda

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!!

One question. Why didn’t she ask, who is going to pick your fruit for less than minimum wage? Guess what people, expect to pay a lot more for groceries!!!

Economic indicators say the economy was good. The economy and GDP grew, but the working class didn’t think so. Well, when the number of illegal immigrants per year far exceeds the number of new jobs per year, then the wages of the working class people will not keep up with inflation. Under Biden, the new jobs each year was an average of 1.2 million, but the number of illegal immigrants coming in looking for jobs was over 2 million people. For comparison, under Obama illegal immigration was just 300-400K per year. So as you can now see, the border crisis was a much bigger issue than the Democrats cared to admit.

So American didn't commit crime?

I know a lot of orchard owners that are going to be just as screwed as they were during Covid, when they didn’t have the labor to get the fruit picked!! The \nPeople who have been coming here have been doing it for years!! The economy will suffer seriously with their loss!! The pickers go home each year, but they buy groceries, gas, fast food and you would be amazed at the amount of older vehicles that get sold at the end of the picking season!! But the local people don’t apply for the jobs in the orchards or even in the packing plants!! They feel that is beneath them and it doesn’t pay enough! So it will be a huge loss that Trump will be directly responsible for because he stokes false dystopian fear convincing the unaware of the truth!! Remember “caravans” lie?? It was just another scare tactic!!

These people can't help themselves when it comes to lying. He had the full funding last time to build the wall AND DIDN'T DO IT.

They didn‘t watch closely what happened in the UK, did they? Looooads of luck doughnuts.

This not see keeps talking about 'mandate', he didn't care at all when biden got 7+ million more votes. Republicans have no core values.

Why were 13 million democrats purged from voter rolls? Why did trump tell people not to vote he didn't need the votes? Why was Musk running and swing states paying voters to register and how any new voters are linked to those payouts and were any illegals?

I didn’t even vote for a republican, but saying illegal immigrants should stay in the country because they work for pennies is just ridiculous. Maybe those rich business owners should be paying Americans a fair living wage.. obviously.

Trump is taken a aways our right it unfair they now remove married paper wow just wow I am Latino American I born here too good thing I didn’t vote for him he not my president

Trump is just spouting populist rhetoric. Why didn't he do that in his first term in office when the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress before the 2018 midterm elections. In fact, no president has ever deported more people than Obama did.

Trump used illegals as cheap labourers \nAnd then didn’t pay them properly smh

I'm just glad the immigrants, murders, didn't vote this time around... CNN got played too easy idiots...lolololll

Jesus! Why is he able to even RUN for election again? Look into interference of this election! Trump claims fraud until he wins. Milwaukee had trouble with open doors on machines for 30k ballots. Wisconsin also had several distractions like bomb threats (FBI confirmed they were Russian sourced) to the polling stations. There were hundreds of ballot boxes on fire, intercepted ballots and a senior home for Russians had forged signatures on their ballots. Why are we letting this man be president with 34 felonies? Other felons aren’t allowed to vote. What does he have on the rest of his flying monkeys to keep them in place? Why didn’t the Republican party nominate a better candidate?

That's rich coming from Marco Rubio a first generation American, whose parents were undocumented Cuban migrants, who also didn't have any type of \nimmigration/citizenship status when he was born here in the states.

They didn't just vote for a criminal, they voted in an entire group of criminals. And they have the backing of pardons and the Supreme Court. Literal criminals! This is utter insanity.\n\nJan 20th, they will be let loose with the entire backing of everything available to the federal government. \n\nPeople have no idea how bad this will be.

Stupid people calling americans stupid for voting for the president they believe, this is utterly disgusting, Americans didn’t vote against themselves. The majority of the Americans voted against the stupid policies, Biden and Kamala Harris forced them to obey, they voted against the stupid war between Russia and Ukraine, that these poor people have to pay from their tax money they voted against all those illegal migrants who came to this beautiful country illegally and was benefiting from Americans tax money, this is not a warning. This should be called a celebration.

It was announced today on the news that the Trump initiative to deport all illegal immigrants will cost up to $1 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of moolah. Which will come out of our taxes. And the tariffs that he went on and on about. Companies aren’t giving out bonuses to workers for end of year. Because they have to save money now because Trump will impose tariffs on incoming goods. The workers didn’t understand they assumed the cost would be paid by importers. In reality, it will trickled down to American consumers who have to pay for goods. Economists have been saying during the election this is a bad idea.Trump tried to do it the last time he was in office and it didn’t work. So people be aware you think you can’t afford things now wait you won’t be able to afford anything. PS the government has nothing to do with price gouging for food and they don’t set the price for gasoline or electricity, etc. ????

The poem First they came... was written by Martin Niemöller. It is a criticism of the way people in Nazi Germany did not stop the Nazi Party from treating other people poorly. \n \nThe poem is as follows:[1] \n \nFirst they came for the Communists, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Communist. \nThen they came for the Jews, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Jew. \nThen they came for the Catholics, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I was a Protestant. \nThen they came for me, \nand by that time there was no one \nleft to speak up for me.

The question is how his voters will react when Trump cannot deliver. Will they hold him responsible this time? They didn't when Mexico didn't pay for the wall and his inept handling of the Covid pandemic where, according to the Lancet Commission ~ 40 % of the Covid deaths (which were a few hundred thousand of their fellow citizens) could've been avoided. Have the voters already forgotten? The whole world watched (and laughed) when he suggested to the doctors to inject bleach into the human bodies to fight covid. It's mind-boggling that someone with such a record has been reelected, not to mention his criminal indictments/convictions ?

How is it that the unattractive guy has so much to say about east coast women? The politics comment didn’t age well!

I just want to say the immigration didn’t start with Trudeau, I came to Canada when Steven Harper was in power , I went to lived in a neighborhood were the entire building was full with Colombians, the same with other buildings . I have to move out cause I felt that I was living in South America .

The territories, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands were put in the front line for the US too bad that they didn’t get a chance to vote because they can’t but I’ll tell you one thing if they did vote Trump would not be in office

Trump u didn’t pay for the wall yet, Mexico said not paying shit?

The issue of immigration reform could have been taken care of if the individual who resides in the state of Florida didn't have his minions, such as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson kissing his ring and butt at his compound in the state. It was all about him calling the shots on tanking the legislation that both sides agreed upon with him having any power whatsoever regarding the world of politics in the country.

Try to see the glass as half full for these woman … sure , they didn’t vote as you would have liked them to but , at least they are woman and they will now get to fulfill a promise made many times during this campaign. They can see what can be , unburdened by what has been…. And in the grand scheme of things , isn’t that a little victory for Harris in all this? ?

This people love scammers like that's big beautiful wall ? that didn't stop Anything ? that's why he got elected again millions cross because there never a wall ? ?

One question ??? Indians didn't want British rule and kicked them out yet flocking to get to the all western countries especially countries that are still affiliated with England????

Well I’m not a trump voter but kinda wanted him to win just to see how much better we will be , he didn’t do much in 4 years , I’ll wait and see

I think he should’ve replaced Biden not Harris but maybe he didn’t want to do it. I think he would’ve embarrassed Trump in any debate even worse than Harris did.

Didn’t happen in 2016 won’t happen in 2024. Also nobody want to come to CANADA. Just the ones being paid to vote for liberal politicians
