Colombia blocks deportation flights, Trump responds with tariffs

[Anonymous]

While we all are arguing on this thread, the verbal sparring between Trump and the Colombian president has escalated. Trump threatened a 25% tariff, ColOmbian Prez threatened same, Trump raised it to 50%, and ColOmbian Prez also raised his to 50%... I hope every country in the world that Trump threatens joins in. Trump is absurd with all his d**k swinging. I can't believe this passes for "manliness" and "toughness" in MAGA circles.

Lost what exactly? This is exactly what we voted for and I love this.

Your dignity and humanity.

For what? They are criminals! They need to go back and their countries need to repatriate them. What don’t you understand? You want these illegal criminals here? Where is your humanity to their victims?????

Would you make Laken Riley have her rapist’s baby? Yes or no?

Let’s ask her which is worse, oh wait, we can’t.

Would you or wouldn’t you make her give birth to the monster’s baby?

DP, but no, she was in GA which would have allowed her to have an abortion up to 22 weeks.

Then why did you vote for abortion restrictions?

I don’t remember seeing it on the federal ballot?

SCOTUS overturned roe with Trump's picks genius.

Lady, you are absolutely unhinged. We get it — you respect the rights of criminal illegal aliens more than the rights of US citizens. You think the right to kill your unborn child is more important than the right to not be killed by an illegal alien. You have more interest in talking about the hypothetical rape pregnancy of a young lady who was raped and killed by an illegal alien, than the fact that the president of Colombia would rather hurt his country’s economy than take back his own citizens who were in the US illegally.

You have very bizarre priorities, and it is a mercy to us all that your party is not in power. -NP

The monster that killed laken Riley did it because he was a depraved murderer, not because he was from Venezuela. We also have depraved murderers right here from the US. And that is not because they were born here.

Omg give it up. We have no obligation to keep depraved murders from other countries in the US.

Aliens who murder in the US go to prison, so yes, we do keep them.

Right. So let's not let them in and we don't have to keep them when they once again murder...this time the victim being a US citizen.

What percentage of murders are committed by immigrants? Better yet, what percentage of immigrants are murderers?

Do you really not get it? Every single crime committed by an illegal alien, is a crime that WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE NOT IN OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. I’m upset you hate your fellow citizens so much, but I guess im grateful you want to keep losing elections.

Can you give me the illegal imigrant crime statistics between 2017 and 2020?

All that overstayed or illegally crossed committed a crime?

No, they did not. The immigration laws in this country are civil in nature. A violation of those laws IS NOT A CRIME.

It is civil, a least the first time. And you know the legal way to right that wrong?

Repatriation.

From a reddit comment bc it lays it out:

"It’s standard maga propaganda
Trump sends migrants in cargo planes
Colombian President denies planes, says he’ll only take them if they’re treated with respect and on passenger planes
Trump threatens tariffs
Colombia works out deal to use their own planes to ensure migrants are treated with respect
MAGAsphere pretends Colombia refused to accept migrants at all and caved to trumps threats, rather than getting exactly what they wanted
It works on the weak minded. Aka all of maga
Basically all of trumps “accomplishments” are exactly like this in nature. Giving people what they want but pretending they caved"
It's going to be a long 4 years.

I feel bad for florists, it sounds like they are going to be the hardest hit with this.

Yup. Valentine's Day accounts for about 30% of all floral purchases, making it the top holiday for florists.

This is an interesting development. Colombia said they wouldn’t take back their own citizens so Trump is enacting tariffs and other measures.

Personally, I think this is a great move. It is the responsibility of the host nation to repatriate their citizens. I do not understand why Colombia won’t welcome their own people back.

They don’t have any issues taking their migrants back. They are demanding they are returned on civilian flights like humans.

To me, that’s a fair ask.

Too bad so sad. Should have thought of that before you snuck in illegally.

They're human beings and theyre being treated like animals in aircraft meant for goods, not people. Regardless of your position, it's not too much to ask to have a compassionate deportation for these very scared people. People don't flee if they're safe and have everything they need.

You're very naive and ignorant.

This is what leadership looks like.

You might want to try reading sometime. The Colombian president is sending his plane to Honduras, not the US, to pick up Colombians who were, for whatever reason, taken there. It’s not even clear that this is connected to Trump’s reaction to Colombia refusing the flights.

Exactly. He sent his plane to pick them up.

MAGA is so desperate to claim he “won”

Man some of you really need to learn how to read.

Yes, all the flowers come from Colombia. Brides too. They are screwed. Coffee comes from other places too, but wow the prices will soar.

Yes, they do! They just have to deal with him the way they would with a grade school bully threatening other kids during recess.

Trump has just put sanctions on our largest supplier of cut flowers and coffee days before Valentine's day.
