What part of “the psychopath is a pathological liar” do they not understand?

captain-corona.bsky.social•59 days ago

All this does is drive Columbia into the hands of China.

inkeeper.bsky.social•59 days ago

Colombia 🇨🇴

bryanttl1953.bsky.social•59 days ago

Something I don’t understand, customers was already deporting people at a rate of about 8.4K per flight on average. Now the orange guy is using military aircraft to deport about the same number of people per flight at a cost of 850K per flight. Why? More waste from this admin.

akodiak.bsky.social•59 days ago

The spectacle probably

They’ll be back on February first

rosewellman.bsky.social•59 days ago

SCORE:
USA = 0
Colombia = 1

too much winning for me.😶‍🌫️

katphxaz.bsky.social•59 days ago

Are we gonna have to deal with 47 drama jumping the gun every time there's a glitch?

noelle1969.bsky.social•59 days ago

And this is just the beginning. It’s been a week and we have four years.

hectoroftroy.bsky.social•59 days ago

Also they might not have liked a door wedge American military presence in their countries.

katlandkat.bsky.social•59 days ago

They should take back some Americans that are there illegally on the way to pick up their own
Tit for tat kinda
I'm sure there are some illegals in Colombia ........right?

451f-dogfather.bsky.social•59 days ago

Further proof you don’t need to have an ginormous dick to be one.

embracebeautiful.bsky.social•58 days ago

Trumpie never quits….😡

fredgrott.bsky.social•59 days ago

Literally when China stopped buying US corn in his first term what saved US farmers was South American Countries buying US corn....way to stick to US farmers by Trump

gojospeech.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yes I read letter in Spanish. Exactly what happened

sjmclester.bsky.social•59 days ago

And of course the White House is claiming that Columbia backed down after orange idiot tough guy threatened tariffs.

inkeeper.bsky.social•59 days ago

Colombia 🇨🇴

sjmclester.bsky.social•59 days ago

Sorry, auto corrected!

jmgh.bsky.social•59 days ago

Has Axios gone down the rabbit hole? I read from the beginning the presidential plane would pick up the deportees who were reported handcuffed hands and feet, not given water and not allowed to use the bathroom. Trump blinked first.

gamingotter.bsky.social•59 days ago

Was thinking that this article was favorable to Trump instead what the truth is that Trump tried some tough guy approach and then accepted to continue doing what Biden was doing. It should not be painted as a win for Trump

nyc118.bsky.social•59 days ago

Have to believe that with all the deportations under Biden, there were some Colombians.

gojospeech.bsky.social•59 days ago

They weren’t shackled in a military plane

nyc118.bsky.social•59 days ago

weren’t some Colombians.

inkeeper.bsky.social•59 days ago

FAFO

josephfilip.bsky.social•59 days ago

Biden sent 120 deportation flights to Colombia in 2024 alone without incident, of course no one cares.

realtexaspaul.com•59 days ago

Not the same. No one was sent shackled at the feet and wrists. They were given food and water. They were allowed to use the restroom. They didn't cost 840k per flight. Lots of differences here in reality.

josephfilip.bsky.social•59 days ago

Exactly. This insistence on cruelty is both more expensive and less effective.

staysinvagus.bsky.social•59 days ago

Trump has zero diplomacy skills.

just-a-hobbit.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's the way things are written to make it seem like he won something HE backed down first! It was the Columbian government who set the terms, not the other way around.

rickbarnes66.bsky.social•58 days ago

😂😂 Colombia just made Trump their bitch

bossmanrod.bsky.social•58 days ago

It is remarkable how the news media in the United States is portraying this event as a victory for Donald Trump.

mickey23.bsky.social•58 days ago

That's why legacy media is tanking in viewership ratings, we're tired of the distractions, ommissions,sanewashing, bothsidesism, normalizing Trump, just sick of your lies & BS. You don't deliver the facts. It was Trump who caved, not Columbia.

rsthomas42.bsky.social•59 days ago

I hope the rest of the world takes note of this. Stand up to Trump and he folds like a lawn chair. Play nice with him and he'll crush you.

squeeks12.bsky.social•59 days ago

I knew it was going to be a long 4 years but now it seems like it's going to be an eternity

robin-lloyd.bsky.social•59 days ago

Again the US media totally fails a basic test of accuracy, buying into the false myth that this stunt was an influence-enhancing win. Colombia called the bluff, landed blows in their president's statement, and let the WH save a little face. And the NYT fawns like it's the Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0.

ghostoffredt.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yep, stenographing BS from Leavitt without even quoting from the Columbian official announcement.

1. They will continue talks in DC over the next few days.
2. Official Columbian aircraft are on standby to take precleared Columbians back in a dignified manner.

robin-lloyd.bsky.social•59 days ago

Colombian, but yes.

moviefanforever.bsky.social•59 days ago

When the price of coffee goes up we should complain about it as much as they complained about the price of eggs.

zodiacmonkey717.bsky.social•59 days ago

Where is our militia to fight the Terror group known as the Trump family/ neo Nazi

grasshoppy.bsky.social•59 days ago

I thinks it's a distraction from Chinas DeepSeek shaking up open ai, Tesla and some other technology stocks.

pamelazadiva.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm disappointed. I wanted the tariffs to go through so MAGA would start understanding what they elected.

yourazneighbor.bsky.social•59 days ago

It’s gonna be like this for 4 years. Chaos. Getting people riled up, then abruptly changing direction. If we don’t stand up to this now, we are doomed to years and years of this. Other countries must also stand against this BS. He’s a bully. That’s all he is. He needs a punch in the nose.

mickey23.bsky.social•58 days ago

A bloody broken nose would be good!!

medusadyo.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yup with an 18 wheeler.

kpet18.bsky.social•59 days ago

The wording of the White House statement is ridiculous.

derkoolschrank.bsky.social•59 days ago

Amazing how, after less than 1 week in office, the words “Trump demands” have united the world with a profane 2-word reply.

philthebrit.bsky.social•58 days ago

"No thanks?"

stadler91.bsky.social•59 days ago

As Meidas Touch keeps saying, #WeaponsOfMassDistraction. They're all distraction and no focus on their promises. Who would've seen that coming.

dana-bz.bsky.social•59 days ago

Kinda hard to believe anything the White House has to say right now.
I’ll wait and see what the Colombian president has to say.

patricia59.bsky.social•59 days ago

Especially when the WH struggles to spell "Colombia".

renee112009.bsky.social•59 days ago

Are you serious? They actually spelled it like that? 😂😂😭

cairistionaaoidh.bsky.social•59 days ago

I wouldn't trust him on ANYTHING

sydaly.bsky.social•59 days ago

Everything Trump does is theatrics.

bikeguy2024.bsky.social•59 days ago

Oppose the racism and fascism of the FELON's regime!

karleesyr.bsky.social•59 days ago

It’s sinful how we have treated the immigrants.

We need to stay strong.

It’s only a matter of time before his supporters come to our side.

We need to accept them because they will help to make us stronger.

We don’t seek revenge.

glowman.bsky.social•58 days ago

How is this administration doing on the grocery prices? War in Ukraine?

It almost seems they promised some things but really only cared about project 2025

thelibertybelle.bsky.social•59 days ago

Meanwhile, I hope the economic block of SA is looking into BRICS. The US can no longer be trusted, our words is as good as it is until Tang throws his next temper tantrum.

quintin24.bsky.social•59 days ago

Loser Trump backed down first. What a weak excuse of a child.

andyfrazer.bsky.social•59 days ago

...after Trump realized the US has a net trade surplus with Colombia and a tit-for-tat tariff war would hurt the US.

texasrunaway.bsky.social•58 days ago

One question: does anyone know how to buy futures in Coffee?

margoisme.bsky.social•59 days ago

Trump caved. Colombia demanded humane transport of migrants as opposed to chained and shackled transport in military planes. Trump said okay. Well done, Colombia.

pnwesterner.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm afraid that we're not going to have any allies left after the first 100 days TX Paul.
