?? he's psycho, this is going to be a good 4 years

This bluff and bluster will soon be exposed as this lunatic in White House realizes that trade wars aren't a one-sided event, but will hurt the USA economy as well. No country is an island anymore. This is going to be huge embarrassment.

This man doesn't realize he is going to isolate and bankrupt America with all the s*it he is doing. Unless he wants to go nuclear in which case Earth would be uninhabitable for EV and everyone including the 1%, other countries WILL turn on America and the economic cost will be catastrophic.....then again, he's a genius at the art of bankruptcy....

Lol, what an idiot.....this man has no brain power.....he will cause a recession in America by mid year.....a lot of prices will go higher!!!! People will be fired... people will protest, which will disrupt a normal work schedule!!!! This summer is going to be very problematic!!!

I am totally agree USA border need to secure to stop illegal immigrants and I support America first agenda but I don't understand how tarrif gonna help American economy.Just Imagine when we put tarrif on trade that means US importer going to pay that or find alternative in short period of time this is going to increase inflation in USA.Once prices up it's very hard to bring it down we already seen in pandemic.We gone through pandemic inflation increase and then Ukraine war increase gas prices and inflation went up and now trade war with biggest trade partners this is going to be another economic damage and this is big one.

I would ordinarily be defending the USA. But this is Trump. And it’s being pushed without setting it up. They want to know what is going on. Naturally ! But Trump doesn’t think anyone or any Government can oppose him. The South American countries are dog walking our corrupt Leader. He’s a disgrace to America

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Why should this surprise us? That’s what a convicted Felon who is president of the United States is going to do. He’s an authoritarian and he thinks everything needs to be done his way. Well now we’re going to pay the price here come the tariffs.

Go home and Demand your leaders back home to support your family rights freedom protection food shelter school and jobs the same way you all voted for charges here do the same back home stop running from your country and fight to build it to be the greatest country for yourself and you will never have to go through this in your life again man will fail you but God will never forsake you it's a sign time run out you all got court in the change you all voted for against your self this is f up why did you all vote for trump knowing he's a man to his word whether he's right or wrong his going to get his way because you all give him the right to do what ever he wants to do with your life in God we continue to trust hallelujah amen ??

There is a basic question that has never been answered that I have heard or read..:::: How is it that all these people who are trying to get to the US , enduring all the hardships, reaching the border, only to be held up there and told no, or folks that have been here being picked up and sent back, all this becomes OUR FAULT ???? I’m all for folks coming to the US, but going thru channels to do it, yet the reasons the left home, scone the fault of the US..:. HOW ????

Americans will be going on a forced diet , food /groceries prices about to skyrocket . Between the large % of field workers afraid of I.C.E. so not going to work ,produce is rotting , so shortages will be huge and then tariffs starting Feb 1st . Thanx MAGA for putting this dangerous buffoon and dictator wannabe in The Oval Office . Your chosen ignorance affects ALL Americans who now must pay the consequences of your hatred and stupidity . Stop chanting “ We won Libs, get over it .”

Tariffs don't affect what Colombia pays, it affects what _we_ pay. So he's doing these things to cost the people money, not another country. Tariffs cost us!! Still waiting for eggs, groceries, and home costs to go down...wasn't that supposed to be day 1? Oh, and peace in Ukraine. Glad this is all going so well...out wait...

This is going to backfire if Colombia joins BRICS+\nMy only concern with weaponizing the dollar with imposed tariffs is that it will motivate countries to abandon the dollar as their primary trade currency and join BRICS+ . This will be devistating to us

A little late on the draw cnn this is already old news. You're going to have to be quicker than that if you want to win the streaming wars.

The US is not going to have any friends, allies or customers shortly. And this is all going to be self-inflicted.

I see Project 2025 is in full effect. A lot of these people who voted for him don't have a clue, while the others are silently kicking themselves in the butt. It all seems like a bad movie. People are going to have a history lesson in this term. There will be a movie 10-20 years from now, and I want to see it.

This is so stupid, if trump’s solution to international affairs is to imposed tariffs on the countries who don’t bend to his will, most countries will be smart and form an alliance to just cut the u.s. out and spread the wealth within that alliance. Trump is going to lose all of our trade partners, and bring us to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

I wonder if this means Don Junior is going to be paying 25% more for blow

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.

LMAO what a clown. Get ready for more expensive coffee and anything else coming from Colombia.\nRemember, Columbia does not pay the tariff, WE DO. Every product that Americans use that contains\ncaffeine will now go up in price so that importers can recoup the tariff the AMERICAN company had\nto pay to import it. So, your Starbucks coffee will go up, ground coffee, instant coffee, energy drinks, etc.\nwill ALL GO UP IN PRICE.\n\nThe Orange Traitor sticking it to Americans once again. He grifted off of MAGA for years and they\nvoted him back in. He's constantly signing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, all of which\nare or will be challenged in court. And now he begins his dumbass tariff wars to skyrocket prices and\ninflation in THIS country.\n\nHey MAGA, when are you going to figure out this criminal president doesn't give a f*** about you. He \ndoesn't need your vote anymore, and he's a lame duck president. He's gone insane trying to use \nbully tactics to enact his racist immigration ideas. He's destroying the immigrant workforce in \nAmerica. Gas prices up, food prices up. Inflation up already. Violence up already. THIS is what you\nvoted for.

It's amazing how much information they got wrong or make up as they go in this video. (Aircraft are going to be refueling in the air... yeah sure they are!) It's also amazing the amount of whining its created. Folks, perhaps you'd like to house some illegals at your house until you come up with a good solution? \nA real leader is in office. Take notes. You'll likely be learning a lot about how things get done.

You can kick them out but when the country don’t let you land the plane than what . lol this is going to be a joke

So if it carries on like this, Donald Chaos is going to be applying trade tariffs against many of his neighbors for not taking back their migrants that the US needs to keep their domestic economy afloat? So it'll be costing the US at least an equivalent cost increase to continue buying goods from Columbia (and other countries as yet unknown to add to the list) until the US has no sources left to switch to that are un-tariffed and more economic.\nThese countries will just sell their goods elsewhere if the US doesn't buy them, so the American consumer loses out and pays to finance this fiasco in the making = US price inflation. \nSo falling out with your neighbors is how to make America great again is it?\nWhat sort of successful businessman works like this and succeeds? Donald Chaos, the Art of The Fail.

I didnt ask MAGA this question going to the 2024 election because I know they have a FINAL Solution in mind. But I asked reasonable and smart people, Uh - how is he going to deport 15 million Immigrants? Where are they going to go? He is already going to a Nazi-like Interment Camps. Dont be surprised it he and Elon take the next step.

Wow this will sky rocket the price of Cocaine , Don jr. is going to be pissed

this fucking PSYCHO gets in a hissy fit and all of a sudden you and i have to pay more for our goods at the story. this is just about the worst direction our government could take us right now, and it will only be eclipsed by what this guy does next, probably within a matter of weeks. he's going to run us off a cliff.

We are going to pay for this mess! The cost is going to be high for use!!! Smh!

4:05 this guy is a moron. The new administration just took over the first week of deportation are going to be low as they reorient themselves. I would expect deportation to be thousands per day. 10-15k per week vs Biden 4k. Also border crossings have dropped from 5k a day to 1.2k.

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

Some of you are so black hearted this was a year ago, and with what trump is doing is going to hurt everyone. And this is what type of news you get so you can be taught to hate.

Does anybody realize that these are criminals that he’s returning dangerous criminals. what’s the life worth ask Laken Riley’s family and all the others who have lost. I hope that no one was under the impression that this was going to be easy, but it definitely is necessary.

I'm sorry but go put this much energy and effort into their own country! They do not deserve to just be let in what so ever, they're going to push their luck and when bad shit starts happening due to their lack of respect etc don't be surprised! What I really want to say I'm not posting because it'll sound way to cruel, but enough is enough!

This is unequivocally the most disturbing video I've seen. This is inexcusable!!!!\n\nThis is NOT who we are! This is inhumane - look at that razorwire right there in front of children!\nThese people have it so hard. Does anyone realize how hard it is to go to another country every day to work and then go home? Are we going to starve? \n\nNO ONE deserves to be treated like this. \n\nThis CANNOT CONTINUE!

I'm a Finn living in Paraguay. My husband and I lived in Germany for eleven years until we moved to Paraguay two years ago. Life is good even though financially it's different than in Germany. However, we have built a house, we have some land, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. We have a car and food. It's more than I ever dreamed of. We strongly feel that we have a future and it's lovely.\n\nOne thing one must keep in mind: part of your first home country and your past will always be in you. That creates a process of mourning you have to go through. And the longer you are away the greater becomes the difference between you and your own country because you both are changing but to the different directions. You realize that there's no going back. This is what I'm processing at the moment. I know it takes its time and one day it will be completely fine.\nI wish you all the best for your life.

This is what there going to do to your small business while big business will be covered .

Why is the country there going to must accept them?\nAustralia population is expanding too quickly for what? I work with alot of Indian's who want to speak in their own language and do alot of socialising in work time. It's a burden to other workers. Immigration needs to help this country not be a burden.

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

1. After Marriage going to usa and expecting citizenship to new born baby without proper paperwork which is illegal.\n2. Going on Student visa coming back to after 1 or 2 year then getting married Indian taking wife to USA and having idea to settle there with the baby is also illegal.\n3. Iam an indian and proud be that here im not supporting usa im just telling that he is trying to develop the usa as he is the president of his country some indian went there and fighting for rights to settle there which is completely not acceptable.\n4. Moving Illegally and expecting citizenship is completely wrong and more over in usa indians are the most top prioritize people because we work very hrad for the needs of not only one for the whole family.\n5.Trump has taken this decision to develop his country and he will develop his own country no matter what. We are Indians we'll always will be because we are capable of doing some miracles by being in india because of the dollar power and reputation of usa doesn't mean that india has nothing but yes we have everything here. no problem people who got immigrated illegally can go to the other good countries with proper paperwork this time.

Why are they taking another 5,000 refugees from Gaza and giving them money. I don’t understand this government and they complain about housing crisis. Where is the government going to put them. How they know if they are not taking Hamas fighters. I am suppose to be retired but this government keep on taking on more refugees and creating more debt which is increasing taxes. Canada it is enough, you can’t help everyone.

I am a UK citizen. I find it strange that Indian nationals claim to be 'proud' of their country, yet they all want to move elsewhere (UK, US, Canada, Australia etc). If their country is so great, then why do they want to keep going to other countries? And then there's the bureaucracy for those who want to visit destinations such as India. If India wants to impose endless paperwork and procedures to other countries, then it should expect the same. India was the one that started the childish tit-for-tat behaviour when the UK and Canada were restricting visa applications during the pandemic, so therefore India banned e-visa applications from Canadians and UK citizens. If India wants to behave like this, then why can't other nations? The UK is full of Indians who come here and don't want to integrate to our way of life etc, hence it's better for everyone if they just stayed in India.

They think they are going to be able to do this without any opposition from those of us who live in the cities where our neighbors reside. I don't think anyone has thought through how this is actually going to play out.

I’m not Indian National however I feel proud that this nation has build ‘herself’ as the 5th largest global economy and if some of the following ways are adapted by Indian Gov, the Indian passport will be saluted.\n1) Make your currency strong as in Raja Ranjeet Singh’s time 1 Indian puree was ten (£10) British Pounds, today it’s 100 Rupee to £1.\n2) Need to hold educational tests for everyone going abroad with a minimum level of English language.\n3) Emphasis on etiquettes and local Knowledge of the country where the traveller wants to visit.\n4) Stop all of illegal immigration via people smuggling agents as this gives a bad name to the country.\n5) Set a minimum benchmark amount of funds required before applying for an overseas visa.\n6) Make it mandatory for all travellers to have a full fare return ticket (12 months validity) on them at all times to show strong ties to return back home after trip.\n7) Create strong religious tolerance and harmony within the country so the world can see no religious discrimination being reported on international media worldwide.\n8) The Indian embassies all around the world should be aware and weary of each Indian national traveling abroad in real time so they f any help is require they can assist 24/7 without failure.\nThese are some of my points and opinions for a better India.\nI hope the people who read above will not be offended by any of my opinions as this is not my intention and I am well wisher and want to see this nation thrive, always.\nGood luck and all the best…

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

I think the rabid immigration should stop as it will damage Indias reputation even more especially with the quality of people who are going abroad. The countries who give them visas are fully aware that there are universities that earn them forex but this could be really damaging to their countries. What happened in Canada is of course an extreme case and other countries can probably learn from it \n\nAlso India should restrict exit and not give out loans to people who do not intend to return. That will also help curb some of the illegal exits.

Going by this report, India is definitely not on the rise!??\nWhy the financial statements? People go to those countries and start seeking jobs! Well, in The UAE, they could ask ?? the passers by ?!\nWith people who have absolutely no idea of India trying to rewrite history, the country may not be stable for very long!

Unfortunately, there has to be some criteria by which each country has to make a judgement. I do not understand why she is cribbing here. There is this guy who keeps going on international trips and everyone in India for gaga over the importance he brings to India through those trips. What happened? Not working? They fail to understand that all the hugs and kisses are only for the TV and in reality every country just cares for the business opportunity they get out of the other. \n\nPalki keeps talking about using our economic power. Who should be weilding it? Is it not the Government? Do they really care if an individual or a lot of their citizen's visa get rejected? They are busy painting a rosy picture to their blind followers. They abuse and mock organizations that put down the ranking of our country instead of understanding the reason behind those ranking. They have no data to contradict the agencies but use rhetoric and everyone seems to be happy about it.\n\nWhy has this lady not put in any thought on the other possible reasons for rejections that could be because of the applicants? The easiest thing to do is blame other countries for the rejection without thinking why certain types of countries reject and what has our citizens done in those countries? No point in thinking about a few people who helped build Dubai or those one of cases like Pichai & Nadella. Think of those who go their and cause concern to those countries.

Indians are peddled this dream that everything outside is a heaven since early childhood. They see pictures of skyscrapers in Manhattan, London and Frankfurt and think everyone is living like that outside. These people are further brainwashed by immigration agencies and disguised human traffickers to put lakhs or even crores on the line for just going outside. They sell their lands, properties and other assets just to be able to go out pursuing a misleading dream.\n\nThis is a problem especially in states like Punjab, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra and Kerala, where most of the people still believe that it's better living outside than inside. These are not people who don't have anything in India but rather well-to-do families that have homes and assets and families in the country. \n\nThen comes the added Western bias and negative media image through propaganda. \n\nIndia has much work to do - if the country keeps complaining, nothing will get done.

Simply, barking inside a studio is not going to bring Indian Passport to the top ranking. This means that the people are misusing the passport and not returning back to India. The Govt. is to be blame here for the worst ranking of India's passport. Speaking Sigma talks and speaking in front European media won't bring any rankings higher. MEA at it's worst period.
