Colombian President Gustavo Petro quickly reversed course about accepting flights of deported migrants from the US after President Donald Trump threatened emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate. \n \nPetro not only acquiesced to Trump’s demands, he even offered up the official Colombian presidential plane to help shuttle migrants back to the country, calling it a response to “the Government’s commitment to guarantee decent conditions.”\n\nThe extreme left is very unhappy about this decision?

Donald Trump has disgraced America! He's destroying everything we were once proud to be: American. \nTrump's tariffs hurt us!\nF. Donald Trump

The international world is not going to be pushed around by Donald Trump. And the only person going to suffer is the American people. We're gonna pay for it.

You guys should all constantly refer to Donald with the title that he has earnt. \n\nConvicted Felon, Adjudicated Rapist, Insurrectionist, President Trump. \n\nYou Americans should never refer to him as just President Trump. \n\nCan you imagine if you all referred to him his earnt title, constantly, collectively. The effect would be delicious

Columbia subsidized the United States with billions in 2024. America needs to stop depending on the charity of other nations and stand on her own. Without Latin American subsidies amounting to over 100 billion each year America would be a failed state. Donald Trump told Claudia Sheinbaum this when he met wth her late in 2024.

President Donald Trump is doing a great job for the American people ❤

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

⚠️update NY Post : Colombian President Gustavo Petro quickly reversed course about accepting flights of deported migrants from the US after President Donald Trump threatened emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate.

Donald Trump believe that you're not bigger than God. So much eye ?water is on you, and prior you're a evil ?

Present choices;\n*Central American Dream\n*South American Dream \n -best wishes & yours truly,\n Donald J Trump

The irony here is that if roles were reversed and america was a crap country while venezuela and south america were great countries nd american citizens were trying to get into those countries, none of these ppl would say let americans in nd we would be either shot at by those countries govts or jailed and tortured nd eventually deported. Ive had enough of this nonsense. Main reason i voted for donald trump was to put an end to this bs. Sorry. Border closed!

They think they are entitled to free money, housing etc you never paid a dime into the system .Donald Trump will stop this big time .I'm british and sadly still live in the uk voting trump into power was a very smart move by the American people .America first American people first if your foreign and don't like it get out and don't come back I so wish we could do this in the uk.if reform get in in 2029 we will god willing

Americans are not going to get lower prices with Donald Trump he's going to destroy the economy. Idiots voted in this pig face dictator Donald J Trump. He will cause great problems for America

Mexico isn't your backyard-it's your trade partner.\nThis relationship isn't charity; it's mutually beneficial. Blaming Mexico for substance use issues ignores your responsibility as the largest demand drivers. Treat Mexico like a partner, not an incompetent employee, and take responsibility for your share of the problem. Blaming Mexico for the fentanyl issue is like an alcoholic blaming the bottle shop, even junior is an coke addict Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than Donald Trump. It's about time someone stood up to n Trump and promised him a dose of his own medicine. Well done Mexico. Trump claims to be a gifted negotiator, but all he is is a self-glorifying bully. Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than\nDonald\nTrump. But it is not Mexico and Canada who has a drug problem. It is America:) Americans don't realize how much they have advanced and grown, and know nothing of their marvelous culture. My president is an award winning environmental scientist with MULTIPLE degrees. We got it right!\nViva Mexico ??

TARIFFS ARE GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN WORKERS!!! THEY ARE BAD FOR THE DEEP STATE AND THE GLOBALISTS THAT HATE THE AMERICAN WORKER. THANK YOU DONALD J. TRUMP FOR REPRESENTING US THE AMERICAN WORKER...

Trump, despite his self acclaimed reputation as an “economic genius”, would likely never raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and ensure corporations pay their fair share, as many currently pay nothing. Balancing the budget would also require curbing excessive military spendings, and if necessary, asking Americans to contribute slightly more, all to address our $36 trillion debt. It’s time to move beyond “art of the deal” Donald and focus on the real solution - CUT THE FRINGES AT THE BOTH END tough guy!

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.

Well the president of Mexico should just have a coke a cola that most of their people have to have or they throw a fit and need four and and love our American mad clothing and shoes and or Ford trucks and love and adore our American made movies on DVD and ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT so my president elect DONALD J TRUMP is doing the right thing and if they don't like it and won't frickin pay them I know that my president elected DONALD J TRUMP is not heartless and probably send governor Abbott's and board control ECT a lot of Coke a cola that is American made and I hope their give it them with this statement just shut the fuck up iand get the fuck out of our country you sick people and happy travels

Gross! Since Donald Trump has become the president elect, I have seen so many Hispanic Americans that were once themselves “illegal immigrants” make the statement that they would have no issues with family members and friends who are currently illegal, be deported?! The hypocrisy and complete disregard for others that are literally in the same position that they once were, is almost unimaginable! I was born and raised in this country, as were my parents, their parents, and their parents parents however, I have compassion for those people that have been discarded by their own families and friends for reasons I don’t fully comprehend ??‍♀️

Donald Trump is going to make Mexico and Argentina great again by diverting illegal Asian and South American migrant inflows from going to the US to going to Mexico and Argentina instead.

Send them all back across the border. We are sick and tired of our tax dollars being spent on millions of illegals who have no business here in the first place. The sheer stupidity of the corrupt treasonous Democratic Party taking advantage of our true American citizens to make them support these millions of illegals through their tax dollars is astounding. We have millions of our own American citizens who need help but yet are denied access that is freely available to illegals. This is why millions of Americans have voted for Donald Trump because he will not stand by and let this go on any longer. The Democratic Party is done deceiving the American people. We have all had enough of the fake news media outlets spreading propaganda lies to help keep the American people in the dark.

This woman is full of crap. Never shit where you live. All of us are immigrants including Donald Trump family. The real American people are the indigenous indians. I hope she never needs her family for anything

Who says, that you have a right to stay as legal immigrant? Donald Trump said Americans first, not including immigrants.

Why not ask Trump to spend a couple days to work on these farms that requires manual work like picking vegetables, I bet that he wouldn't last an hour, and the majority of the American people don't want to do that back breaking work for little pay, so if he reports all these illegal immigrants whats going to happen? I don't think there is a bigger fool in America than shit for brains DONALD TRUMP.

Please god protect Donald Trump and his plans to make Americans citizens feel safer

Donald Trump although I didn’t vote for you and I honestly do not agree with everything you say and stand for, I strongly stand and support what you have planned to do for Illegal Immigration. This massive deportation plan you have set out is a great goal you have because all these illegal immigrants who are coming from all over the world and are bringing their problems to the USA ?? and are committing crimes here and are having their kids here which is a big safety threat for our fellow Americans, this massive deportation plan is exactly what we need for our country and I support you 100% on this!

The so-called Trump voters who said they are regretting voting for Trump are crazy. I don't understand why they should be regretting? Everybody knows what Donald Trump's intentions are. For example, the 100% rise on tariffs on imported goods, which Trump had tried during his first term and it backfired. Majority of Americans electorate are not just that rational. They make decisions based on emotions. Trump just kept on invoking emotional mantra like the migrants are invading American, woman is not strong and smart enough to be the president of US, a black woman from black immigrant family are not smart enough to be the president of US - old stereo type that have torment America from slavery. It doesn't take rocket science to understand why Trump played on the emotions of Americans. Trump knows that, that is why he kept repeating those emotional mantra, and not talking about the issues. Trump - bonefide conman - and his advisers understood this very well and used to con Americans to vote for him. Good con-job Donald. Kudos.

Donald Trump is not going to deport any illegals. That was the selling strategy to get your vote. Donald Trump want illegals here he knows that America’s do not hold the economy. The economy is built off immigrants cause they will do it for cheap bettering the country bettering taxes and benefiting the country more Americans want too much for doing labor. He knows that illegal immigrants will do it for nothing notice how Trump always says we need to get the illegals out of here we want them to come in legally is because he knows that illegal immigrants benefit this country. He just wanted your vote?????

Well Americans did it to themselves by voting for Donald Trump.

The illegal immigrant that contributes to society is not who Donald Trump is worried about. Donald Trump will get out the illegal immigrant that is a convicted felon the criminal out of our country. We don’t need them here to hurt our women our children. Donald Trump said he wants people to come into the country they need to come in legally but the criminal will pay Will be deported. And I am just confused. Why does the Democratic Party want illegal immigrants here on our streets hurting our American people someone makes sense to me. Why should we have them in America and I’m talking about the criminals not the hard-working illegal. immigrants I also have friends that came into this country legally, they worked very hard to get here. It’s not fair to them to have people into this country illegally it’s just not right.

Trump will have a big talk with this fool. This is NOT Trumps plan AT ALL. Listen to Trumps speech after he won the election. He has been VERY clear on helping illegals without criminal records who want to work find a pathway to citizenship. This is in no way representative of Donald Trumps plan. Trump and most Americans want to deport the illegals with criminal records. Even if he tried there is no way to deport all illegals.

Adam McKay — who directed the 2018 Dick Cheney biopic Vice — is encouraging voters to abandon the Democrat party in the wake of Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump, calling out Democrat elites for their lies and shenanigans, including hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the American people.

Yes the immigrants must GO. They are illegal, some are criminal immigrants and they are killing Americans. The immigrants are draining our resources while Americans or having to do without. We have LAWS on immigration and they MUST be followed. NO exceptions! Our economy is terrible and people are struggling to buy groceries or get Meds. We have poor/middle class people suffering because of the Biden/Harris administration. There will be no assault - ya'll are comical. WE have people here at CNN that don't have clue but yet tell everybody what needs to be done. The bottom line is - Donald Trump is our president and he will make the decision and will handle in a professional manner the illegal immigration problem. Show President Trump some respect. I was raised to respect your elders - what has happened to that? Ya'll sit back watch - don't' worry about immigration and watch a pro git er done. God Bless the USA..........

This will make our food prices go up. Food will rot in the fields as no one will be around to pick them. Who going to make beds and clean hotel room including resorts. Who is going to mow your lawn and trim your trees? Who is going to clean your tables and wash your dishes in the restaurants? Who is going to pave the streets and roads etc. Our food prices will go up, and businesses will be hurt. Our Gross National Product will decline. Tariffs will increase the price we pay for clothes, shoes, etc. Inflation will rise, unemployment will rise, and we will be headed into a recession according to experts. Of course, the uneducated does not listen to experts, only Donald J. Trump. Worst American President in history. ☹☹

AMERICANS should STOP crying about Donald Trump they voted him as President of united of AMERICA that's what they want.Alelujah

All those white supremacist Americans go out and vote for Donald Trump because they all fear of not having the power they want. But remember almighty creator always use the evil to destroy the wicked. If you all can pray pray it works

Left wing extremists are the fascists. You folks are just projecting your crimes on Donald Trump. For example, when FBI teams up with social media companies to silence Americans God given right to free speech, that is Fascism.

This is the end of the great migration. Donald Trump is president, and 56% of the American people supports mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Here comes the backlash.

On the other hand, American community, which seems more aware & evolved, has a different view on indinn community. They like us (See Nate Friedman's video on Indian voters in Jersey n the comments section). \nEven Donald Trump has praised indian community. I think Canada lacks visionary & powerful leader thst can bring reforms in immigration. While i acknowledge thst some of us are embarrassing the entire community, an ignorant n narrow minded society generalize the entire community which is very sad & heartbreaking.

Donald Trump grandfather was kicked out of Germany and Trump is second generation American

These are the fraudulent ballots that the democratic party will use in 2024. Will America still have a fair election? Each illegal immigrant receives $20,000 per month via an EBT card. And American people are lying on the streets everywhere. The American people should wake up and stand up to take back their country. The only way is to vote for Donald J. Trump.

I remember when Americans were saying theyd move to Canada if Donald Trump got elected in 2016 haha

All I can say as a Canadian is why would anyone want to move to the USA.The more I learn the more I love where I live the USA is a hot mess and watching the kind of people that you elect is mind boggling . Why would anyone support a bottom feeder like Donald Trump to run their country. You don't have to be a scholar to realize this man is beyond corrupt and a really bad person. Who in the world other than a 12 year old, makes up names for people and whine all the time just watching this man perform is an eye opener and as a Canadian I'm embarrassed for Americans. This man is taken a once great country and making it a laughingstock. This man should be pushed aside and find someone better to represent the Republicans . If this is the best you got you guys are in trouble.

I'm a proud Canadian who would NEVER move to the USA for a ton of reasons. I only wish our best neighbors---I still believe this---would get their act together. Unfortunately I think it may be way too late. The fact that a known scumbag like Donald Trump could still,I think,get back into the White House says it all. The warring political parties should be lining up to put him jail. Far too many shootings and violence down there. When I meet Americans up here,they are always nice folks,always respectful. Maybe they're relieved I'm not armed. I'm kidding. Still,all things considered,very proud and very lucky and very happy to be a Canadian.
