They don't consume American goods and i don't do drugs Go Trump go !

Letts go Trump!!!!

How the world has changed. As a Business Major in the 90s, the WSJ was the guardian of Conservative thinking and held steadfast against any kind of Liberal ideas as cuckoo. Now the WSJ is basically in full agreement with Democrats, and against most Trump policies. Honestly, as someone that just watches the freak show, as George Carlin so famously said, I'm left wondering who is right or wrong. Also, where is this going? It seems almost all Conservative support is now with Fox News and podcasters. Hardly any networks or newspapers, no news agencies (as we know Fox isn't a news agency).

This is going to be fun: ~25% of crops may be lost due to migrants staying home instead of risking getting caught in the fields, another chunk of crops in California may be lost to contamination by the giant battery fire from two weeks ago, and Felon Trump is slapping tariffs on a bunch of countries the USA will need to offset that food production deficit.

Trump is going to piss off all his coked out buddies

looks like Trumps nose candy is going up 25%

Nice. Go Trump.

Idiots are idiots and Trump is #1 you are getting an idea of how bad things are going to get under Orange man but you voted for it now enjoy your 20 dólar late at starbucks and your ten dóllar eggs and all you who get food stamps better Find work i heard farmers want pickers

Good our president Donald Trump is not going to allow Columbia to dump their trash on our nation!

Trump is going to push them out the plane with parachutes.

Trump should look under his roof.....his wife is an immigrant so I guess that means she has to go too!?

So, tRump way on governing is to threaten everyone that doesn't agree with him isn't that the approach of a dictator. But the tariffs are going to HURT US the American consumers not the other countries.

Trump is going to impoverish the USA with all these tariffs. The US citizen just won't want to pay the prices that are now being asked for imported goods that cannot be purchased from local sources. (And the price of locally sourced goods will also shoot up because of higher demand). Well done Trump, you are only punishing your own citizens with tariffs and they will hate you for it.

Tariffs are a two way street, and Americans will suffer higher prices on things like coffee that we import from Colombia. Trump being a bully is going to be very costly.

We cannot. Be afraid of a BULLY. Donald Trump is so wrong with his threats. These countries will not let him go in their countries.

Trump doesn’t care if food prices go up for Americans. As long as McDonalds doesn’t go out of business and he can still go get his daily Big Mac, he could care less.

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

All this means is that USA consumers pay more for whatever Colombia exports and what consumers will need ( supermarket food produce for example) ?? It does not help US farmers who cannot deliver to super markets their field produce because Trump is deporting workers who go into the fields whom primarily collect it !!!\nTrump is basically taxing the US consumers and pushing prices up !! The US importer pays the tariffs (US customs tax at port of entry) whom then passes it onto the consumer !!\nThe consumer can of course not purchase the product which would hurt Colombia exports; the importers would have to hurriedly find another source whom would probably also increase their price because of demand.\nTrump is a loser and always will be; his businesses are mostly failures; even casinos !!

I think Columbia should load all the US ex-pats onto airplanes and send them back to their country. Trump can figure out what to do with 30,000 people of his own. All countries that he threatens should do the same. A sudden influx of people with no jobs and no homes to go to, should help the American economy as much as Trump dropping migrants off is doing to these countries.

Yasssssss!! Keep it going Trump!!❤

All the energy that is going to deporting people. Hopefully someone will do the cost-benefit. Seems like a major waste of time. Imagine if the Border Bill had been passed in 2024 and by now we could have had this all under organized control without all of this spending so much money, time and effort in rounding people up and deporting them. Add to all of that the cost of tariffs that Trump is putting on Columbia and I expect others in the coming weeks and months. What a waste. Trump also not getting this whole thing organized which is the major direction we have to go in the final analysis.

People in these comments are on some serious copium. Y’all actin like coffee prices are gonna be a big problem because you have nothing negative to say about what Trump did. Like y’all give a shit when you go to Starbucks and spend $8 on a coffee already, or is it more? This hurts then more than it would hurt us btw, that’s why they folded so easily. Trump knew they would fold easily. Btw we can get coffee somewhere else if you truly need coffee to love you can probably drink espresso too. I buy a brand imported from Italy

Keep bringing food prices up Trump The more tarriffs you propose. You are only hurting yourself Trump. And pretty soon your voters are going to see that lol

I know most of y'all's hate for Trump will not make you see the good thing in what he's done. You just going to keep talking about Colombian coffee costing more, even though Trump's strategy actually worked and the Colombian President used his plane to welcome his people

Go Trump!!!!!

Go Trump ?

And Columbia just hit back. I guess the price of coffee, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables are going up.\nThank you Trump.

I like Trump he is putting the socialist Pretro in his Place. Why this guy is not letting Colombians to be deported to Colombia. Colombia should not get visas to the USA and all economical sanctions. Go Trump the Latinos in the USA support you 100%.

So everyone better go buy there coffee NOW!! Listen everyone if you voted for this idiot you will REGRET IT!! Trump will ruin our country like ALL HIS BUSINESSES!!

Good let’s go Donald trump

So he is retaliating on the Americans. Is anyone going to pay Starbucks rates that will go up 50 percent. Dumdass dumb Donald Trump

I don’t blame Columbia for not allowing those flights to land. He should have had a plan in place before he started having ICE pick ppl up. Trump is an idiot and he has no clue what he’s doing. He’s going to cause a civil war in this country. Ppl need to wise up and shut this shit show down. \n\nTrump assumes he can do whatever he wants to do. This was not a thought out plan. You can’t just expect countries to open their doors to criminals being dropped off after being away for yrs to your doorstep. If they are criminals committed a crime, put their assets in jail in the country where they reside. \n\nHow about all those criminals, 1500 that Trump just let go in the U.S. now he wants to act like he cares and he just did this to police, lawyers, judges and family members of the ppl whom were doing their job, list love ones and fear for their lives. Ppl best wake up and start protesting peacefully b/4 we have a civil war!!!!

Trump is such a bratty child. He’s just going to throw his weight around for his pet issues until we have no leverage left.

Trump showing the world he ain't f*cking around when it comes to illegal immigration and deportations. Either cooperate or we'll hit you where it hurts. Unfortunately for Mexico, they are going to learn the hard way.

Go trump

uuuff cocaine price was going to skyrocket...glad they worked something out. Love Trump a real leader.

Trump is going to need 12,500 flights to deport the 1 million immigrants

This is what Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate. That's the difference between a President with business experience, as opposed to a President who is a lawyer and a lifelong politician.

USA citizens are going to pay 100 % plus for Trump's immigration angst. Well pay higher prices for goods and produce as well as our own crops can't be harvested.\nUnnecessary famine is on it's way for the USA.

There you go “Latinos for Trump” ?

If you F around you'll find out.? Let's GO President Trump. ?

you dont seem to be highlighting that trump is increasing inflation and is going to push his uneducated maga supporters into poverty. CNN failing again, are you really that scared of him?

When is Trump going to get to work and stop sharpening his ridiculous executive orders and get our economy back on track.

So the only people it's going to hurt is Americans, if that! Trump is a dumbass that doesn't know what he's doing.

Trump is going to drive all the countries from Mexico and Central and South America to join BRIC. That is probably the plan to appease his buddy Putin and line his own pockets at the expense of the USA

Trump is just shoving MORE countries to belong to BRICS. Just like Cuba who can now tell the USA to kiss their ass with all those sanctions. In the end Trump and the USA will LOSE A TRADE WAR. Canada is ready to discontinue ALL oil sent to the USA making gas prices go HIGHER here. US consumers pay the tariffs.

So how's that strong man bullying working out for you tRump? Are crops are going to waste in the field because you're scaring people and you're not even deporting as many people as Biden did without all the drama! You know you could actually work with some of these countries and get a much better return.

Love u trump u go...we got ur back

That ain't going to bring down the price of groceries MAGA! Trump will only succeed in making America Alone and hated around the world more than ever before.

Big surprise Trump. No country is going to cave in to your threats. More prices going up in the USA.
