SO JUST TO BE CLEAR! Colombia refuses to play ball with his madness so he punishes the American people by making them pay more for their coffee?! WT actual F! Sanctions DONNIE! That’s what real presidents do when countries piss them off. SANCTIONS!
Of course it will. Hell of I was Columbia, I would announce a 30% tariff on coffee. Show this whiny baby two can play this game and sorry to say let Americans feel the pain in their wallets. That might be the only way people could wake up!
This guy has no idea of how pride takes front and center with Latin American countries. They would rather take the hit then bend the knee to someone, especially an American. Tangerine man should read a little bit about history but I guess that would be expecting way too much.
Is Trump going to punish the entire world with his tariffs? Prices are going to go up. Even for “American made” items that use imported components/parts/ingredients.
The farmers in Iowa, Indiana and Nebraska are going to suffer the most from this. HaHaHa! The very people who elected him. They deserve it. I have no sympathy.
Coffee and flowers just got 25% more expensive, and will be 50% more next week.
Happy Valentines Day! You can thank those that voted for this petty bs
Dear Columbia, Stand firm!
He knows how tariffs work, that’s why he’s doing it. Tariffs are just extra tax paid to the gov. He’s going to use that extra money to implement a lot of his dangerous plans that only benefit him, as well as steal as much $ as possible from the American people. He’s lying to his fans & he knows it.
I believe part of it is extortion. Do what he wants, or else he'll retaliate. I think it's also him trying to assert power and intimidate. He's a monster.
Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577

He’s looking for any excuse to tariff imports. The initial excuse to tariff Canadian goods was lack of border control on people and drugs. Then it changed to the US “subsidizing” Canada to the tune of $200B per year. Who knows what it will be next week.
Egg prices at record highs AND tariffs that will raise coffee prices as we import a ton of coffee from Colombia can only mean one thing: Donald Trump has officially started the War on Breakfast.
Because the House of Representatives reneged their duty to regulate tariffs and gave them to the president we are now faced with the situation we’re in.
Honestly, I'm just waiting for him to completely tank the economy so the fed drops rates again. Let's get back to that 3% range for mortgages. Cue the terrified maniacal laughter
He wants to control everything he like. Never complying the law. He’s an hundred convicted felon for rest of his life. He shouldn’t be president of united state
MMW, by the end of his term, the US will have alienated most of their allies on the political stage. Someone should really explain to him how common consensus on the USD being the World Reserve Currency is in his country's best interest, and how that may be hanging by a thread more than ever now
Brazil and Colombia have been the top two coffee exporters to the US since at least 2009.
In 2023, Colombia led with $1.38 billion worth of coffee exported to the US, while Brazil exported $1.35 billion. 1.38 bil became 1.725 bill. You're now paying the difference. @googlesearch.bsky.social
Anyone drink Columbian made coffee? Use oil from Columbia? Perhaps you buy fruits and vegetables from Columbia? If you voted for the GOP I hope you're ready to pay more for all of those items.
The problem is you fucking orange turd from Florida nobody’s afraid of your fucking orange ass you think they are but that’s all in your fucking head. They all know you’re a fucking imbecile and you have the IQ of a fucking walnut. You don’t scare anybody and they also know you’re a fucking coward
Hey does the Dimwit know coffee comes from Columbia.. and the bananas and the chocolate and the beans… the idiot is on a worldwide retaliation spree like the cult picked him to be the disgrace he is being.. the prices of everything is going up..forget eggs and groceries you MAGA fools. Guide the F*
If there were anything more unusual about them than their simply being undocumented (assuming the people in question ARE actually undocumrnted; they've detained citizens before), the Trump administration would be screaming about it from the rooftops.
Glad somebody explained what would happen if he did that to Mexico for having done the same thing. Our country is on its way to being a pariah. The most hated country in the world. I hope we can recover when the idiot is out of office.
Can this media company report on how Americans will be affected by the felon’s application of tariffs every time he doesn’t get his way???!! He is punishing Americans with these
You really aren’t focused on the rest of his threats. Which is far more repulsive than the tariffs. The man threatened to harass everyone who is from Colombia, including diplomats. Fucking insane shit.
That stupid fucking piece of shit has no idea how tariffs work. We’re going to be paying more for coffee and he’s too fucking stupid to know that. Or he does know and he just doesn’t give a fuck. Either way, he has no business being POTUS.
His supporters will blame Columbia for higher coffee prices, NOT the vindictive bully who orchestrated the vile deportations and now the punishing tariffs. His followers like it that he blames others successfully.
Any moron can see Trump’s sledge hammer approach to getting his way will only isolate America. Countries have quickly learned they can no longer count on Trump’s instability and are planning accordingly.
Countries are not passively watching Trump threaten and bully them. The US citizen pays the price, countries pass on prices in the chain and sideline the US.
Colombia will be just fine without doing business with a corrupt sh*t hole country that has a convicted felon posing as as president after he stole the election.
So will EVERYTHING be a threat to national security? His way of fulfilling his agenda to up end everything…..not one item geared towards helping the American people. Does he think his base will continue to wait for economic relief?
I know the focus on replies is the tariffs but do we know in fact that everyone sent to Columbia are actually Columbian and were in the US without proper documentation?
It’s so stupid! They already said they will repatriate their citizens but demanded they are not treated like criminals by being shackled in military planes. Flying them commercial is way cheaper too and both sides get what they want.
In 2022, Canada exported $438B to United States. The main products exported from Canada to United States were Crude Petroleum ($117B), Cars ($27B), and Petroleum Gas ($22.4B).
Check the same statistics for Canada......and imagine if that man is doing what he said about tarif of 25% from Canadian products starting February the 1st

Is not so hard to understand.

to replace the missing orange juice (no one showing up to pick the crops)
to go with my pricey eggs (from bird flu & idiotic campaign promises)
#unfitforoffice
Glad I don't drink coffee. Or drive much. Both are going to get much more expensive.
Do you think he has actually comprehended that the CONSUMER who pays for the tariff, not a check from the foreign government into his coffers?
Americans are going to get sick of his shit very fast.
Need expensive coffee to go with my expensive eggs
Good luck catching that inflation going upwards.
