It's sad that facts have no place in trump's administration.

Trump is a terrible business man facts period. He's using tariffs against Canada and Mexico. We loose

Disgusting but typical move by trump. Vets are vets. If you put your fucking life on the line for the country you DESERVE respect and the fact that people are denying that and refusing to respect veterans who served for 20 years because of their personal identity is horrible and they are all cowards who don’t have the courage to do what they did. Trans veterans deserve respect just as much as cisgender veterans. You can have your political opinions, but respect our veterans.

Why do those of us on the political left keep allowing those on the political right to dictate the terms of public conversations, even when we have the facts on our side? It is estimated that 1.7% of the world population is biologically intersex. That's roughly the same as the percentage of the world population that is naturally redheaded. Trump's executive order states that the US government only recognizes two biological sexes.  This means that as far as the US government is concerned, biologically intersex people don't exist. This is analogous to having an executive order saying redheads do not exist.  It's nonsense.  So, why aren't biologists from all over the country pointing this out? The percentage of the world population that identifies as transgender is at most 0.6%.  So why are we talking about transgender people when there is a larger group of people that Trump's executive order discriminates against?  Here's why: because folks on the left insist on allowing those on the right to set the terms of almost every debate we have in this country and folks on the right are happy to ignore intersex people (whose existence conclusively establish that their views are false) and those of us on the left stupidly follow their example in doing so. If we are serious about protecting trans people, we need to be smart about this. Let us reframe the public debate to focus on intersex people.  This will make exposing the lunacy of Trump's executive order much easier when engaging a general public that is too ignorant, lazy, and indifferent to educate themselves about trans people. So, let's help out the lazy ignorant masses by adopting a simpler (and more science-based) approach to the debate over whether there are two biological sexes by making the simple, scientifically sound observation that biological sex is bimodal, not a binary.  And not amount of executive orders can ever change that fact.

Best idea Trump has ever had every person I met in the army who transitioned literally did 4 years of sitting in the barracks because they couldn't be medically combat ready! Thats a fact they took taxpayer money and didn't do shit! Just because one person did it doesn't mean they all are!

Illinois DW reporter *fumbled by wrong naming as Biden, when in fact he meant Trump, LOL! US

This is medically insane, Trump is choosing things with no scientific proof. In fact, science contradicts him. And many prefer to do harm to this people because of their beliefs, to people who are helping them by risking their lives for the country, and your life is a thing you never ever get back…

To set you a-holes on the left about the bone spurs deferment of Trump. He had 4 deferments because he was enrolled in school. Biden got 5 of those. Trump's bone spur deferment was a temporary deferment. When it ran out, he was put back onto the draft rolls in 1972. When the lottery was held his birthdate was the 356th drawn. Just like everyone else whose birthdate was the same as Trump's, their lottery number was 356. The cutoff that year was 50. You who know anything about the draft lottery know there was no way he would have been drafted. But hey. Why let the facts get in the way. Right?

Just becoz it's Trump everyone complaining... The fact is , Trump said investing in all these surgeries and post surgery is costing alot and distracting the military. He's not against them but to bring it in forefront is what he's said he don't want

They'll get off the plane, and go right back to the US and try again. \nIn fact. MORE will now attempt it seeing that if they get caught, they'll simply get a free plane ride home. \nHell, if I was one of them, I'd be doing it as well!! This is good news for illegals. \nAnd just look at the number of people in here supporting this ridiculous strategy from Trump. \nLol, you idiots are dumb as dirt to think this will help stop illegals coming into your country. \nIt's going to INCREASE it. And it will cost you millions every year without end. \nLive and never learn.

I have had 2 children in Canada, both being a cesarean birth, one head injury where I was in a coma for 3 months, total stay in hospital, 6 months, and had cancer treatment in hospital lasting 2 years, all while being a single father, raising my 2 girls, and I only paid my $58.00 healthcare premium paid 4 times a year, and nothing else. These hospital stays would have bankrupted me, 4 times over, if it happened in America. Until you start looking after ALL your people, you're 3rd world. Fact. Boot trump out, and put a real leader in charge, Kamala Harris. Become 1st world.

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........

Get your facts straight, Colombia President accepted their illegal migrants. In a matter of a few hours. Not only that, the Colombian President even offered Trump his own plane to come and pick these illegals up. If you are going to report news get all the facts straight! No wonder you are losing viewers and 90 percent of Americans don’t use this channel as their source of information. You purposely leave out important information to create rhetoric and upset the other 10 percent that unfortunately still watches your fake news.

This showed that Trump is not playing with these people or the presidents. The fact the 2 aircraft took those immigrants to Colombia and were refused landing, is retarded. Then instead of letting the planes land drop off the criminals and leave. They didn't let the US planes land. They said they would send their own country's planes to pick up the criminals. What Trump should do is charge Columbia for the fuel the US military used, and charge them for the US pilots' time. Double time and a half pay for waisting the US time and a waisted flight.

Did anybody notice that CNN website and other coverage. Keeps talking about the undocumented Colombia immigrants. Glossing over the fact that Colombia. Was refusing to let their Citizens return to their country. It took Trump threatening Colombia. For the Goverment to let their citizens return.

Trump has done more for Americans in the first 4 hours than Biden has done in the past 4 years! That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

Question for you CNN. Why haven't you done an update video on the fact that the President of Colombia backed down once Trump responded to him? Oh wait, I know why. You guys only like to give one side of a story.

For the troll Trump posters here. It was not resolved. As a matter of fact as of 3 hours ago us planes and Military pains are not permitted into Colombian airspace. There was no resolution in Columbia certainly did not crumble they'll be taxed in America you want the coffee from them you'll be paying for it and Trump with his cocaine addiction since 1991 is probably going to be itchy and antsy more than ever some people look at the TV sets you can tell when he's actually doing lines

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

And Columbia will issue tariffs on the US to match, as well as take its trade to other countries more favorable to them! The USA loses because Trump is the biggest loser! Anyone who thinks that a man who lost the fortune his father gave him and bankrupted 5 companies, one of which was a casino, will be able to grow the US economy is uneducated, ignorant of the facts and truth and doesn't understand economics! CNN has a duty to tell the truth. Instead it is part of Trump's propaganda machine. Trump is not a king, he is a clown, a felon, fraudster, rapist, pedophile and cannot be trusted with a penny.

If President Trump really wants to hurt Colombia, then stop ALL cash transfers from the USA to Colombia. In fact, stop all cash transfers to Mexico, South America, and Central America... permanently!

Dear GOD, through the power of your only begotten SON JESUS and the Virgin Mary, please lift the DELUSION from these people of good will (2 Thessalonians 2-man of lawlessness) and let them wake up to the fact that Trump is not the man they think he is! He is against all that is TRUE and HOLY and will lead this great country to destruction. He is a son of Satan (father of all lies). He claims he is the CHOSEN ONE, but he behaves in the opposite manner of what JESUS would do (anti-Christ). He loves only himself! He claims to love the Holy Bible yet cannot recite one verse of scripture! Jesus warned us of the false prophets, and messiahs that would come after HIM deceiving even the elect of GOD! Trump is one such FALSE MESSIAH. Satan (ruler of THIS world) has given his son immense power to deceive men's minds, and GOD is allowing us to be punished for the sin of ELECTIVE abortion We need to REPENT, PRAY and RENEW our trust in JESUS CHRIST and his Mother Mary and follow them, carrying our cross on the road that will lead us back to the FATHER! AMEN - JOHN 3:16!

Yes, people need to talk about the fact that Trump is not allowing anymore visas into the country at all. That's gonna be seen as extremely racist and clearly an attempt at not having anymore South Americans in the country with the exception of those here and they have families elsewhere and that will force them to leave. No more workers, no more imports for cheap ever again. It's only for the rich and most of his supporters are clearly not rich. Horrible choice this country has made and fatal mistake that will cost Americans more money. That's called Karma indeed.

CNN, as usual, distorting the facts in an effort to manipulate/brainwash their viewers. There was NOT 271,000 deportations by ICE under Biden in 2024. That figure reflects the people who were already AT the border, and then detained/sent back. The figures Trump's Admin released are the number of illegals that ICE actually rounded up within the US... and the reason there were so many illegals AT the border under Biden is because under his pathetic Administration the border was wide-open. That's NOT the case under Trump, who immediately shut down the border. CNN is pure GARBAGE. They, like all the illegals, should be deported as well!!

Poor thing Melaniea can't accept that fact that her piece of crap husband Trump is a piece of dog species who is a felon and with a pornstar!! Lol!!!!

It's not surprising that Trump doesn't want his grades from Wharton School of Business released because he was at the bottom of his class and he is a multiple times failed businessman who has had everything in his life handed to him on a silver platter. Trump doesn't understand the basic fact that tariffs are passed on to consumers and INCREASE prices, NOT decrease them.

Every country that Trump threatens or in fact imposes tariffs against should immediately respond in kind. HIGH TARIFFS AGAINST THE USA!! Make it hurt, make the morons who voted for Trump feel it most in their wallets!

Typical Trump, claiming much more than done facts. He is a total bragacciolo and laying to no end

Trump can't stand the fact YOU think you should be here and have any rights. And he seriously plans to do something about that. SO MUCH FOR THINKING.

This is strange as a Trump supporter myself, given the fact that this woman can barely speak any English

Not a fan of trump but this has to happen it’s so rampant. Canada will fall victim next, in fact we are in the midst of it with student visas that expire and asylum is then requested, but we are too scared to do anything and would rather see our country slowly die for fear of speaking up.

Correction DW get your facts right. Trump said he will only pursue ILLEGAL immigrants!!!

I love the fact trump is saying cause you have a baby in America don't make your family Americans please canada do the same

DW is getting to be as bad as CNN. German and Yiddish were my first languages, but thank God I was born in Texas in 1943. I visit Germany quite often. In fact I just returned about a month ago. Germany should worry about their own problems rather than trying to spread hate about Trump.

What I love about this story is the fact that the immigration app set up by the Biden administration was shut down immediately after President Trump was sworn in.?

Completely agree with president TRUMP Those anchor babies can obtain the parents nationality... as a matter of fact, as soon as they have the baby the whole family should be deported, they cost too much

Yeah, I got to think she did not come the legal way, lol, few people do. The fact is that people go into and out of legal status all the time. It's not easy. Elon Musk was out of status and illegal when he was a student here. The question to ask is whether there should be a process to keep the ones we want and not the ones we don't want. Trump wants to get rid of everyone because they're not white or from Norway.

IF TRUMP LIVE TO BE ONE HUNDRED YEAR'S OLD. MIGRANTS, HISPANICS WILL STILL BE IN AMERICA\n FACT'S THEY ARE ESSENTIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY TO OUR ECONOMY. MOST OF THEM ARE GOOD PEOPLE. I BLACKK AND I LOVE THEIR UNITY AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND THEIR FAMILY ORIENTATION. ?

CNN a bunch of Clowns! Today is 12/2, what is the news now? Report the facts. The President of Mexico has done a 180! She has succumbed to the Trump administration. \n\nYou guys still don’t get it. Quite amusing. ?

As we say in Mexico, the brave man lives until the coward wants.and the president of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo answers the ignorant Trump with intelligence and facts, not with nonsense. And I don't understand how the United States can have a criminal like Donald Trump with 36 criminal charges in the presidency of the United States. That country is declining more and more.

Trump didn't make mistake on imposing high tariff on some countries because Americans are big consumers of those countries products in high quantity and they too knows that Trump is right and the fact is they prefer US as their main costumer.

Trump is a dog that barks and doesn't bite, he likes to be a bully, in fact he is a pacifist, he will stop sending weapons to Ukraine so as not to attack his friend Putin, but there were enough threats and blaming Mexico for the addictions of Americans, our president Sheinbaum put it still, in fact U.S.A. created these synthetic drugs and their addicts, the laboratories and pharmaceutical companies created the substance of methamphetamines and fentanyl to treat diseases and ended up with their patients with side effects and addiction, the Mexican drug traffickers only took advantage of that new market created, they replicated the substance, that What happened to you for not creating an institution that studies and certifies each medication in search of side effects or that causes addiction as the institution does cofepris in Mexico and they still send weapons from the U.S.A. to Mexico to arm the cartels, every time criminals are arrested and their residences are seized, high-caliber weapons from the U.S.A. are found, and Trump says the guilt is Mexico only, since election campaign attacks to Mexico to get votes, enough of that sh*t

Tariffs would collapse Mexico's economy. Watch Trump slap 100% across the board on Mexico. The peso would drop like a rock. No one would buy ANYTHING from Mexico. American companies IN Mexico would leave Mexico due to the fact Trump is dropping regulations which killed their businesses under the democrats so they would return. Also ending the reliance on foreign oil will drop the prices for consumers even more so American made products would be cheaper and better made again. Most of the industry is automated as well but American jobs would return so China and Mexico who work together would be kicking rocks. Trump is winning and he isn't even in office yet ?

How many Americans who voted for Trump 3 times are, in fact, drug addicts?

Lower prices??? Sure with a business failure of Donnie the tiny-brain genius buffoon idiot doing the stupid as usual. The FELON ELECT: Get that right, Felon Elect. 23% of the voting sector voted for that POS, and 57% didn't vote, Trump mathematics does not qualify as facts, but then again facts are false; Right?

For all you who voted for trump: So you believe in imaginary facts just because you herd trump say it. \nThat is the trouble with MAGA, they don't ever check to see if anything is true. So go ahead and keep granting unlimited power to those who will never let you in the club. Never allow you to get ahead unless it by lying, cheating and stealing. \nYou really can't stand to look at all those trump business failures, bankruptcies and unpaid debts. \nWhy else does he sell cheap Chinese crap on the internet just like all those other late-night fraudsters do. \nYour rage has probably stopped you from reading anymore.

The fact that people are acting like Trump is already ruining America ? has ANYBODY lived the past 4 years in America!?!?!?

The fact that Trump is gonna enforce tariffs was not a threat. So stop with your nonsense!

I see the mainstream media is doing their homework on trumps tariffs even though they failed to do any fact checking on kamala border policies

Clowns...illegals numbers are possibly lower now because they know Trump won and they're wasting their time coming...Mexico didn't do sh** for 4 years either...in fact they allowed migrants to pass through to the U.S.
