Trump didn’t stop the war within 24hrs if he was elected has promise and he will not deport anyone, he doesn’t understand how tariffs work. He’s all mouth, just talk talk that’s all.

Trump doesn't understand how tarrifs work. He needs to understand basic global economics. He's an idiot

All these morons thought this idiot was going to lower prices of food, goods, and gas. Good luck with that. \nHis first day in office he is going to put huge tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. \nThis in turn will make prices go UP considerably, Simple math Trump could never understand. \nOh, and wait until there is NO ONE to work the fields . Vegetables and fruit will be sky high. \nUnbelievably, this is what people voted for

What trump does not understand is that Mexico can get a better price on the international market. \nWho says they need to ship it here and not there?\nEveryone eats, and not everyone has food.

Trump needs to understand that the U.S. is in a struggle for Allie’s as China tries to peddle its influence in central and South America— with no more important country than Mexico…

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

Trump has zero understanding of how tariffs work. It's absurd to claim, as he does, that American consumers will not pay for tariffs.

Trump need to understand that the poor countries can't be forced to pay the same tariffs that rich countries pay, that is his mistake

for those that don't understand tariffs. If I currently import a t-shirt from Mexico for 10.00 and sell it in the US for 15.00, I make 5 dollars in profit which I use to pay my staff and keep my business running. When Trump puts a 25% tariff on that t-shirt, it now costs me 12.50.You think I am going to eat 2.50 per t-shirt. No, I'm now going to charge you, the consumer, 17.50 for the same t-shirt because my cost of doing business has not gone down. You all really need to do some research and understand tariffs. I'm not moving my business to the US. I'm still getting the same amount of money for my products. The US consumer is footing the bill....

'Cooperation and shared understanding' ? Doesn't sound like Trump. If he had a brain, sure.. but, he clearly doesn't.

Tell Maxico to investigate who buys their human trafficking that sent people to us. If it's the organization in US then send them all to prison.\n\nIt sad that Maxico will suffer but they need to respect us, I mean how they can they allow those immigrants to cross in? Did they get paid to send those people in or they bluntly disrespected us? Where is their border patrol, are they capable of control in their border? If they cannot theb I think Trump should exercise compassion and understanding their situation.

Democrats just can’t understand what good trump tariffs will do. They have to be shown instead of told

Narcissist Trump is a habitual menacing degenerate who thinks and acts in black and white. Narcissists are unable to cooperate and have a shared understanding. Such talk is rocket science for a mentally stunted reckless sociopath like Trump.

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

Did the Mexican President put her response to Trump in crayon, so that he might understand it?

I really hope prices go way up. Counter productive you might say, but I want trump voters to understand what they just did.

I can’t understand why people in America can’t see that Trump is in the political game to meet his own needs and agenda!! In short he is the biggest and now the most untrustworthy criminal in the WORLD!!! He is going to destroy America and everything America stands for and he will do it with no considerations for the population!!! Why is one man, and a man with severe mental problems able to upend the total legal fraternity of a country and not be held accountable!!! The existing government can clearly see the dangers of this incoming administration but sit idly by and allow this corruption to manifest! Biden has the ability and powers of the presidency to stop Trump in his tracks, Why isn’t he? What is Biden afraid of? Trump is one man or is it the behind the scenes organisations that have installed trump and bought the presidency for him to serve their own agendas . With a total moron like Trump at the helm there are foreign adversaries that are going to complete the destruction of American institutions in a way that is going to severely damage Americas standing in the world!! The people that voted this evil man into office have no idea what hardships they are going to endure for the foreseeable future because a man like Trump doesn’t spend a minute of his day considering what’s best for someone else only his own interests!

You people still don't understand. Trump is the President. He's not a Nazi. He's not racist. He's not going jail like this network and all the others said he would. He's playing chess with these 3rd world countries at the moment. Joe and Harris have done nothing for this country in the past 4yrs.

it's too bad trump isn't one of those kinds of leaders that understands business

Let's see how upset Trump voters will get once they understand their favorite drugs will go up in price too. America has a drugs, guns and no justice for all problem.

She is another example of trump's supporters hearing well, but she does not understand the faketriot trump speeches \nShe showed very well how politically illiterate she is.

This is the typical MAGA Republican / Republican who's naturally cold and heartless. Even towards her own family! I wholeheartedly understand why her family can't stand being around her or even talking to her. Don't be so sure that you yourself won't be on that same bus heading to Mexico. Trump doesn't give a shite about you. Being a MAGA Trump arse-kisser won't make any difference whatsoever. ?

I disagree but I understand if you’re white male and you support Trump. But how can you be a Latino woman and support Trump. Make it make sense.

Do you really understand what Trump is about I don’t think you have a clue sad you gonna learn the hard way

How stupid can you get? Trump will do everything he can, legal or illegal, to keep non-European immigrants from entering the country legally or illegally. He's racist to the core and too stupid to understand how many jobs immigrants do that nonimmigrants don't want to do. And did she say she was a citizen? Because if she's not, she's not safe either.

I worked with a woman like this. Nobody in her family likes her, including her daughter and she doesn’t understand why. And she was like this before Trump was even in office. Some people are just sad.

I have 8 siblings older than me. Only 2 sisters and I are TRUMP Supporters. The other six just don't understand

All the people in the comments who ridicule this woman rather than understand why she thinks the way she does is part of the reason Trump was reelected

This woman and Latinos like here are delusional. For MAGA, it is not really about how they got here, right or wrong, it is simply about “numbers”. They don’t understand that Donald Trump. Steven Miller, Elon Musk, and MAGA, wants to see LESS PEOPLE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER ! \n\nTHEY WANT YOU “GONE” !

Trump said if you are deported and try to come back you will be EXECUTED. What part of that does she not understand?

Is she aware that 99% of maga want HER out of the country as well?? How do people STILL not understand that trump and maga are white supremacists to their core??

She needs to understand that tRump made it nearly impossible to gain citizenship legally. He enacted countless immigration laws that only added to the red tape in the already underfunded and inundated immigration courts.

? There's something really wrong with them trump supporters especially the ones who are P.O.C., deep down inside they know that trump his family/friends and white supporters don't like them so why are they supporting him? What's the reason? As an American of Mexican descent I don't understand that.

Something trump supporters and everyone needs to understand is that there is NO application to just apply and come here legally! That’s why her family has been here for 20 something years. Only people that can “apply” are asylum seekers. Anyone from any other country there is no such application. There would only be an “application” is there was an immigration reform that would allow people that want to come or have been here to apply. There has not been immigration reform/amnesty in decades. \n\nI urge everyone to YouTube or go on the uscis website and find this so called application. The only way is either 1. You were born somewhere else and your parents are citizens 2. Enlist in US military 4. Marriage with a us citizen. So it’s not as easy as just applying, if it was there wouldn’t be so much illegal immigration. \n\nNo excusing or saying it’s okay to come illegally, just saying the reason people do it that way is because there hasn’t been and there currently is no process to do it legally.

What this lady doesn't understand is Trump sees her no different. Regardless of how/when she came.

I'm a latino straight from South America and I'm very happy. I REALLY don't get what you american liberals think of us. The only reason we are willing to leave our countries to live in the US is because you have a country where we can thrive. In order to go to the US, we go through the process and apply for visas and the green card. That's being honest. We don't want the country filled with illegal immigrants who jump the border. We left our countries in an honest way and we want the borders strong, so we can still have a country where we can thrive. Is it really hard for you to understand that? We voted for Trump and we're proud of it, so we don't need your false pitty. You guys don't know reality, you're born in fantasy land and you aren't able to see the basic truth even if it's in front of you.

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

This comes from a lady who doesn't know or understand the pain of having family stripped away and not see them again for YEARS. Also, Trump wants to close the border & last time he was in office, he set a quota for approvals for the day regardless if their background was good.

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

These ppl don't understand how things work, trumped just gave America to be there worst selves. Even the ppl who lost houses and life savings behind his trump Soho scams. Hate will override common sense and details! Trump supporters holla about policies but can't tell you nothing about them, just repeat what they here on fox news and CNN. I care about this country so I hope and pray he does a good job, I hope he has someone on his staff with a good mind, if you are the smartest person in the room, than you need to change the room. Somewhere down the line we started to believe that bigotry and hate is strong qualities to lead a country. No wall ever saved a country or empire. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

I hope you understand that when he says they will roll back the democrats massive extension of the federal government to pay for Trump programs, they mean undo medicare and social security.

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

Well there’s a choice and there’s a price and freak don’t understand that his actions will come with price and price you can’t predict through fortune telling or AI intelligence, you can sense through vibe of life and I know soulless people don’t sense that and he is soulless because that will do very bad for America and American people!!!\nIf trump kept his promise to build the wall and Mexico will pay for it that we wouldn’t have those problems and actually that migration to America by disrespecting law and order of the nation has begun when he was in office and he was letting them into the country but keeping their children from their parents!!!\nMonster that covers up in religion trying to get back thanks to religious manipulation of weak man!!!!

Try to understand that its cost the government more. When no plan is in place \nConsider the grants loans. Housing food clothing schools medical care medicine travel . TRUMP IS ONLY TRYING TO PUT IMMAGRATION IN A AFFORDABLE \nPLAN .\nIT IIS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND A REWARDING LIFESTYLE IF RULES IS FOLLOWED. WHY RUSH TO DO WRONG COME IN LEGALLY ❤❤❤❤

All fake news.??\nWe don't believe you anymore.\nAmericans voted for Trump to vacate all illegals.\nAmerica has spoken!!!\nWhat part of that don't you understand??

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!
