Trump isn’t very Intelligent and acts like a Mobster. He doesn’t have any Critical Thinking Skills as he runs like a Wild Bull on the Plaines. Believing he’ll get kick backs on one or all of these so called Tariffs. It’s no different than what he did his first administration with many donations (kickbacks) from World Leaders! All of which weren’t reported and only recently documented. What’s happening in this new coming Administration will look like the biggest HEIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, with the replacement of every government employee with (YES) Employees. Trump’s in debt for 2 Billion after the Election; so he’ll have to get his money back through every course possible! Which will lead to every American being put in the Poor House during his time in Office. People will have to remember his comments demeaning every American as losers as he Raises Taxes and Product Inflation go through the roof, while the wealthiest live TaX Free again within his Second Administration! “Sometimes in Life, you can’t see the Forest for the Trees.” It’s harder to see the TRUTH, by the amount of the LIES!???

Here we go again! They are giving him credence. They are legitimizing him again. Trump is a buffoon and they could not wait to get him back in the WH again. I HATE CNN!

Border crossings are already down to almost nothing? Gee I wonder why. Trump isn't even in office and people have stopped trying to get in.

Think globally, we are not by our selves. Trump is about to find out how the world works. We can no longer act like we rule and no one else matter. Your costs on everything is about to go up and the amount in your pocket is about to go down. Stupid is not cheap. You voted for him, this is what you get !

I understand Trump's taxes to dictators will get everyone killed i pray wisdom comes in the name of Jesus

The Mexican president can either get on board and they actually police their side of our border and help stop the fentanyl, cartels and illegal migrants or Trump will send in special forces to deal with cartels after they make the terrorist list. Far as the mass deportation? Buckle up buttercup because its coming i don't think Trump would care if they all get dumped out at air strips in Central America i mean they got themselves there to come up and cross illegally here so they can find their way to where they came from from there.

Enjoy that economy right now once Trump takes over. It’s gonna be a major disaster. We will never see low prices ever again. today a head of lettuce is $1.29 when Trump takes over. It will be $4.99 to $ 5.49. There’s talked about avocados might cost us about five dollars apiece. get ready people to fork out more money.

Trump is an idiot and he's going to tank the Midwest red States producing farm products. Those farming red states export to those countries that trump will tariff and those countries are going to set their own tariffs on the US imported products including farm produce, auto goods etc. But hey they voted the idiot in and now they get what they get. ?

but china using mexico to import alot of goods to USA and mexican not getting much from it!!!! i support trump move 1000%

Tarriff exclusions are a carrot and stick, which will bring businesses and entire industries to heel. Corruption is going to flood the zone, as Trump threatens disaster after disaster, and makes everyone bend kneees and open wallets to get out of it. Bezos' WaPo policy is a canary in the coal mine. DOGE will also be used in this fashion - in addition to being the world's biggest crypto scam: nothing will shoot crypto prices up like cutting tens of thousands of civil service jobs and replacing them with blockchain + AI, forcing mass adoption. If that sounds like conspiracy theory, this is Musk we are talking about - blockchain and AI are two of his favorite techs. The non-agency is named after a crypto that was nearly worthless - until Elon hyped it in 2020, manipulated the market, and is now worth 54 billion while having no inherent value. Much of that came as Trump endorsed crypto and Musk endorsed Trump. If you don't want your Federal funding cut, talk to one of Elon or Vivek's shell companies. If you want a tarriff exclusion. If you don't want your workers' families deported . . . the list goes on and on.

Hope that Trump voters will learn that when you act like mean girls you get treated like mean girls

Are you reporters on CRACK??? Get off of your talking points and look at what is already happening. Get behind President Trump and support our nation.

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 ?

Trump is about to get a lesson in how the real world work. He is going to isolation himself from the real world ? 25 per cent tariff on Canada ?? is he out of his mind. Idiot

Trump is madly out of his mind, too theatrical and bluffing to be credible, the country shall be governed by intelligence rather than impulsive messages. On top of controlling the drug coming in across the borders, it is quite obvious that domestic drug addicts will need to be weaned off the drug and to be rehabilitated, nobody is talking about this aspect at all. Otherwise, it is simply the law of demand and supply, short supply will push up the price, therefore making it more profitable for smugglers to figure out creative ways to get it in, at this rate, it will be hopeless.

What trump does not understand is that Mexico can get a better price on the international market. \nWho says they need to ship it here and not there?\nEveryone eats, and not everyone has food.

Yep. There are only 1,500 crossings captured compared to 10,000 a year ago. Trump just wants Mexico to get short end of the stick.

Trump is selling the American People Snake Oil! It's going to get bad in America.

México ain’t done crap to help control the caravans until they seen President Trump was coming back with Vengeance!!!! She is about to get schooled!!! ??

Mexican government said it will work with Trump to stop the traffic. Get is straight. Nothing was done to stop the immigration from neither Biden admin nor the Mexican government.

It looks like Tesla factory in Mexico possibly will get grant from Trump tariff. $$$$$ Musk paid to buy election of Trump is working…???

You go Trump get them who cares we don't need their stuff anyways we need American made stuff thank you Trump thank you Trump.

God bless we have Trump now! ?? Do they think if they get through before he takes office that they're going to get to stay? He will turn their asses right back.

Cnn needs to get with the program WE THE PPL SPOKE WERE WITH TRUMP and we want boarders closed and Mexican president isn't helping she better fall in line and do her job. We voted for Trump not cnn and there opinions that are bad

Trump is USA own fail......more and more get made in other country. becauce the USA company only look , where we can make more money

The MAGA cult sheep who think that Trump adding a tax onto all imported products \nwill save them money are about to get a basic lesson in arithmetic and economics.\n\nAny 7 year old could have explained it to them but MAGA cult sheep don't like \nto listen to people explaining reality to them - \nit reminds them that they are disconnected from reality.

for those that don't understand tariffs. If I currently import a t-shirt from Mexico for 10.00 and sell it in the US for 15.00, I make 5 dollars in profit which I use to pay my staff and keep my business running. When Trump puts a 25% tariff on that t-shirt, it now costs me 12.50.You think I am going to eat 2.50 per t-shirt. No, I'm now going to charge you, the consumer, 17.50 for the same t-shirt because my cost of doing business has not gone down. You all really need to do some research and understand tariffs. I'm not moving my business to the US. I'm still getting the same amount of money for my products. The US consumer is footing the bill....

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.

Tell Maxico to investigate who buys their human trafficking that sent people to us. If it's the organization in US then send them all to prison.\n\nIt sad that Maxico will suffer but they need to respect us, I mean how they can they allow those immigrants to cross in? Did they get paid to send those people in or they bluntly disrespected us? Where is their border patrol, are they capable of control in their border? If they cannot theb I think Trump should exercise compassion and understanding their situation.

Trump is about to get some lessons in how the country & the world has changed. He is gonna start off pissing of Mexico & Canada who've always been friends of the U.S .. how dumb & all over these ridiculous tariffs

It doesn’t seem like they’ve done a lot, and at the end of the day Mexico will end up losing More. Don’t get tough with Trump Claudia , you’ll come to regret it, like they’ve all have.

Mexico has allowed to be exploited by greedy American corporations, to the demise of both countries, I have seen first hand what NAFTA has mede in TIJUANA, all that profit from exploiting Mexican labor, and the massive environmental crisis, because lack of infrastructure to support all the influx of people to work for miserable wages, electricity, water, sewer systems are a joke, no innovation, no support, where had all that profit gone?! \nTo the pockets of corrupt government both in Mexico and USA, despicable greed! \nDo it President Trump! \nBoth countries need to face consequences for bad government, poor people always get trampled, sadly, but we will prevail by GOD’S grace.

Tariffs! Trump‘s get rich quick scheme ??? He’s a con man, this is Conman behavior

Homan and Miller don't plan to deport anyone. They plan to put them in work camps. We haven't seen anything yet when it comes to Trump's sociopathy. Hang on, America. Annnnnnddd...of course, Trump's business investments can get tariff exclusions. ?

Well, if Trump was hoping to get all of North America focused on him, that was accomplished. But, I'm not sure making your allies this mad when we're about to have your own people on our doorsteps isn't an awesome idea.

I don’t care about the drugs, or the economy. What I care about is the fact I won’t be going to prison or the electric chair because a man walked into a woman’s restroom where a female member of my family is in, and the fact that Trump is going to get rid of illegal criminals coming into America.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to get a green card now.\nShe may be next to be deported.\nIn Trump's White America, us people of color are not allowed.?

Just like with Obama, trump is getting a strong growing economy from Biden, why the F would he want to destroy it?! ???‍♂️

If u dont like what trump offers. Get it elsewhere!!!

Once Trump gets in office, Americans are going to unpack their true ignorance. Their votes will prove it !!!

TIRED OF. DRUGS TRUMP,,,,,GET Your people to stop using drugs starting with his son in law and rich family and friends if he has any

Thank you president elect Trump. Now keep your promise. Get the migrants out of country starting day 1. Im a independent.

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

CNN played a big role helping get Trump elected. You break it, you own it.

i cant wait till Trump teaches this woman a lesson and threatens to close the border again...if she lets her emotions get in the way shes done for?

As employees of GM/Chevrolet, I am extremely worried about the potential impact of Trump's tariffs, particularly on Mexico and Canada. Our products are manufactured globally, so I am curious to see how Trump's supporters would react if the prices of vehicles like the Silverado and Tahoe increased by 35%. Get ready, America, because we may be in for four years of unprecedented chaos.

Donald Trump's evilness MEIN KAMPF IDEOLOGY is going to destroy America within for Putin.\nYet...he gets elected

“Bro, thats BS, im getting the bills” ….says the business owner in a blue state that got screwed by Trump’s tariffs the first time around. But business owners in Phoenix, Atlanta, and Vero Beach Florida don’t think it’s gonna happen to them?!? ?
