Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need stability, especially in neighboring countries. Tariff war, trade war -- guess what that does? It doesn't just drive up the prices for Americans consumers, but it also drives up migration."

Donald Trump’s Butt Hurt Diplomacy may have got him a short term win but Columbia, Mexico and Other Nations are standing idly by to be bullied by the Convict in Chief! They will be seeking more reliable trade partners! Trump fucked around and he will find out!
She’s right, it’s already happening. New Zealand and Australia are making sure our relationship with China is on a good footing. Also, thank you America, we are certainly enjoying the Dr’s and nurses that are coming here. We need them. ❤️
You are complicit in the crime that YOUR SECRET SERVICE IS GOING INTO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO STEAL ARREST THE CHILDREN!!!!😡😡😡😡
STEAL/ARREST THE CHILDREN!!!
WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR RAGE??!!
You waiting till they come for U, is that when your rage kicks in??😡
If Trump wanted to actually decrease migration he would be working very closely with the Mexican government to improve their quality of life, not pissing them off and treating them like they’re children every five seconds
Migration or emigration? America is fast becoming a Trump Republican shit-hole country. Soon it will be the land of billionaires only. No one will be paying taxes; the industry will be casinos. The funny part is that Trump’s mismanagement caused his own casino to go bankrupt. LOL
One important reason Drumpf will never actually MAGA. Stability. A stable country with stable allies make them all great. He is anathema to stability. Because he is a giant man baby whiner with skin so thin it’s transparent.
I don't push conspiracies, btw. But I heard a trump voter say she thought the assassination attempt was fake. And then she laughed and said she was going to vote for him, anyway. See, it doesn't matter what Democrats say or do.
It's a put on in that the US could do this to all but a handful of countries b/c they never expected leader of free world to act like this, and we have such incredible leverage. Bullying the playground kids eventually gets you what you deserve.
Same. I believe that he wants to eventually invade. If he gets that bill passed to allow him to "serve" another term, he will succeed in capturing a few countries.
That's the point of trump's exercise in fascist brutality, to keep the migration crisis in place so he can continue sending his Gestapo and SD bastards to terrorize people and feed his MAGA cannibals their red meat. His presidency is going to implode under the weight of its own hatred.
It's weird, because I'm sitting here trying to formulate a reply and all I can think is that she's making so much sense that nobody in MAGA will ever listen.
I don’t think people understand what’s happening… Their intention IS to CRASH the economy. This is purposeful. Because the people with all the wealth can then buy up everything left on the cheap since they hold all the capital. It’s the great depression all over again. This is intentional people.
And to add to this… by crashing the economy they force the Fed to drop interest rates to try and pull the economy out of the plunge, that means cheap and easy debt for them to plunder even more. This is how the rich get richer and consolidate wealth under bad economies.
If the new administration was smart, they would employ these hard-working men and women. Always trying to use scare tactics on US citizens is getting old. They are NOT criminals for seeking a better life. That's just lame and ignorant. We know who is definitely a criminal.
💯 accurate. They want disaster because with all the sitting capital they have they can buy out what’s remaining on the cheap. These are manufactured crises to disrupt the economy. It’s the old adage “buy low / sell high”. The economy is too high right now they want to crash to buy low.
And cutting foreign aid to poorer countries, which right-wing leaders love to do, has exactly the wrong effect by increasing migration to richer countries. Duh.
We all know that he's intending on destroying everything, yeah? Is that not understood? Did we not see the Project 2025 plan and go, "Well fuck. If he does all that we're cooked."? It's not even about policy. He just wants to see us get Nero'd.
Representative Escobar is absolutely correct. However, the idiot in the White House is too stupid to understand this. Of course, he appeals to a base dumber than he is.
That’s completely accurate. I hope there’s other people out there besides me that heard Elon say it’s gonna be very hard on people for a while before it gets better.
I think this is what they mean.
Then Trump can come in as a savior & say hey, we got the prices down now & everything under control.
What we should be worried about is what deals he’s willing to make with China in order for it to look as if he’s still in charge. Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos. . .
It's about what the government imports. If Columbia coffee prices go up the greedy corporations and the Trump administration will grab all the cash they can get. Every single person in the South will be effected
Talk to your moron president, not to us.
You need to vote for the people who won’t put you in that situation.
You didn’t.
Now you have to take him out of the White House.
Find a way and there won’t be any tariffs.
We won’t back down.
She knows the border. This is all theater for MAGA, most of whom couldn’t find the border on a map. Deportations flight have been going on for years. Troops on border, been there for years. Why are eggs now $6 a dozen?
The Brazilian immigrants were sent back in a scrapped North American plane that crashed in the air and had to land in Panama. Here in Brazil it was revealed that they were beaten while flying on the plane and handcuffed on their hands and feet. Flight containing children
No they didn't!!! They have never had an issue accepting migration deportation flights, the issue was the inhumane treatment. Trump agreed inhumane treatment and the tariffs were dropped. Colombia got exactly what they wanted.
Read past the headlines and be smarter than maga. Let's start there.
The threat was based around using military planes and shackling migrants. Colombia said if you do that we won't accept them and here's a matching tariff, Trump backed down.

Fewer people would flee to the US if we let them choose their own leaders without fear of us paying death squads or sending in the Marines.

Go out of your way to destroy an economy and you force migration.
The disintegration of Venezuela led to many people fleeing.
Remember when the Mexican economy was doing so well there was net migration TO Mexico.
More of this…

That id what I will keep saying!

We are self-destructing so China will be hands-down the undisputed leader in the world.
if there were a functioning economy where they were from, they wouldn't leave
making their economy worse makes more people leave
FAFO.
Abolishing income tax and switching to tariffs will put more money in citizens pockets.
Not huge tariffs to cause trade wars. Reasonable numbers.
Why is everything reported by the media dire and terrible?

I wonder why?
Who does that serve?

It's that simple.
"Today's events make clear to the world that America is respected again," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in a statement.
Now Trump and his cronies have talking points about how amazing they are
