WE NEED DONALD TRUMP GREAT WORK YOU'RE IN ARE PRAYERS MR PRESIDENT ? ? ?

Lier, Trump had all the funding he needed to build the wall the first time but trump only used 1% of the funds on a tiny penusortion of the wall and put the rest of our tax payer dollars in his piggy bank. The Republicans are going to give more of our taxes to Trump who will not build the wall and keep saying he needs more money for the his wall pockets. This will go on Trump's entire 4 years while putting the children in the wealthy owned concentration camps so the wealthy can get paid, selling the banies to the wealthy that can't have children,and having the Guards r@%€ the young girls to make babies to sell and make us taxpayers cover the maternity cost, and $€× work the teenage girls to male pigs and sell the young boys as slaves, similar to what he secretly did the first time but at a high volume.

I think if he makes Canada and Mexico states this can stimulate the economy even more, this equals to more people traveling and spending money in USA. Trump is a good negotiator and good businessman, we need someone like that in the world, and Claudia is also a good negotiator as well, she can get paid too... We need some gold to build the Temple of God and USA has plenty of Gold, trading would bring this about... And he can negociate with other countries and of course, Mexico gov't and his Gov't would get paid too, for his work and services that sounds fair, and our people would get what they desire as well,as long as it is a good desire stipulated in psalm 37 and everyone involved wins...

Segregation never ending the criminals were here before the immigration even started Trump did didn’t seem to have a problem with the immigrants when they built his empower They’re the ones who worked without contracts without green cards and some never received any paid yep, let’s make America great again Go right back where we started hope you don’t like french fries to go with those burgers because who gonna work the fields to bring in the potatoes to make the french fries

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

Trudeau has brought in millions of Indians during his term as Prime Minister. It’s one of the reasons his popularity is so low. I hope Trump’s threats work.

They corabarate with Biden & Kamala with there open border they let all those people go true here in Georgia we lost a22 year old foghting with a venesuelan rapes he kill her in 18 minutes she fight untill the last minute of her life a girl the had great future i am hispanic i came legal i am usa citense now i want Trump to kick them all out working after 40 years paying my taxes and my social security does not cover my medical bill 100% then this iligals are getting everything FREE NOT FAIR TO OUR PEOPLE PAYING THOSE TAXES

Trump is a bully and needs to leave Mexicans alone. They work just as hard if not harder than anyone. I respect them and they are no different than anyone else. The only difference is the language. Other than that. As long as they are working citizens trying to better themselves and become a citizen here who are we to tell them they can’t.

Just Do As You Please Trump ,Just\nGo Into Mexico And Take Care Of\nBusiness Cartels\nAnd Immigration\nAre First Priority\nI Can See Now She\nIs Working With The Cartel's And \nShe Doesn't Want\nThe U.S. To Secure\nThe Border Because It Will Have A Serious\nAffect On The Cartel's Finance's\nIf She Refuses To\nBe Reasonable And\nStill Acting Like A\nTerrorist Sympathizer Than\nI Am Sure The U.S.\nWould Be More Than Happy To\nEscalate The Situation

People don’t worry what the media is saying. Trump is a good dude and knows how important Mexico and Canada are to the us. After all we are neighbors and have worked well with each other for years. Not to mention the love we have for each other. No need to worry give him his chance he hasn’t even got into office yet. He’s only after bad people who broke the law or abused their privilege of power! This is love coming from me as a US citizen!

Mexico can’t survive a tariff war. Her bosses (the Cartels) will need to give her a longer arm to work with Trump. There’s no way around it.

Guys, to be honest we know US makes the dollar worth whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want but that is not our fear, we truly want to be a strong region and if you look closely beyond the behavior of Trump and Sheimbaum it seems they truly want to cooperate, just remember the world is watching, when you have a good strategy you cannot disclose it, lets work together, we are not south americans weve always been in the region. Some of our most beloved mexican heroes where born in texas or other states when they were still Mexico for instance, we share the wild west stories, cowboys are not only americans they were also.mexicans for example, and box sport associations were made by US and mexican legends, plus we share commom values.

The Mexican president is willing to work with President Trump. To make America safer from the drug cartels

Trump thinks of himself as a bully. He think Canada and Mexico are beneath the US. He will learn that these countries have backbone too. Unlike his suppoters, they recognize his lies and bullying. Mexico President is confident because she already has a deal with Biden. Trump is lying and claiming he made her back down. Not even knowing she and Biden worked together to slow immigration and drugs. He is the most uninform President ever. Always claiming he don't know people speaking on his platform. He has already started claiming things he did not do. Slow down at the borden, Biden. Economy doing better, Biden. Remember when he starts saying this is his economy, know he is lying. Biden's.

Tariffs would collapse Mexico's economy. Watch Trump slap 100% across the board on Mexico. The peso would drop like a rock. No one would buy ANYTHING from Mexico. American companies IN Mexico would leave Mexico due to the fact Trump is dropping regulations which killed their businesses under the democrats so they would return. Also ending the reliance on foreign oil will drop the prices for consumers even more so American made products would be cheaper and better made again. Most of the industry is automated as well but American jobs would return so China and Mexico who work together would be kicking rocks. Trump is winning and he isn't even in office yet ?

Trump will claim he solved the problem and will claim these figures as his work not Biden. Perhaps after Jan 2025, Mexico will be able to claim that those trying to cross illegally are USA citizens fleeing Trump and seeking asylum.

Let’s face it Trump has little common sense and understanding of how the World works fullstop. He was spoon fed as a youngster and his business fortune is made on the backs of others and loans.

Lets be clear: American importers pay the tariffs and Pass The\nCost into the American taxpayers through higher prices. (Does this sound anti-inflationary, MAGA & other 2024 Trump voters??).\nAnd what are Trumps olans for this windfall of cash?: reduce the deficit? Universal healthcare? Stabilize the social\nSecurity trust fund?\nOf course not, that huge oile of working Americans-cash will be given to the rich in the form of anhuge tax cut; both corporate and individuals.\n\nCongratulations\nMAGA & Trump voters !!!

Trump is an idiot. He would need someone to explain the letter to him?. Trump is looking for someone to do the dirty work for him. He's afraid of china he knows the chemicals come from there ?

After getting slap from Trump, Canadian Government started working now

Trump either doesn’t understand how the global economy works or his ego compels him to not care.

America..... Trump is about to learn how the world economy works! LOL

More MSNBC lies. President elect Trump just announced that he and the President of Mexico have spoken and Mexico has agreed to work to significantly reduce illegal crossings from Mexico into the US. They also have agreed to work with US authorities to combat drug cartels and reduce the illegal importation of illicit drugs into the US. \nThis is exactly what Trump

Looks like Trump's tariff threat actually worked on Mexico. Dems and respondents below don't understand the power of deterrence and the leverage of using the US economy. Masterful job by Trump in getting Mexico to curtail illegal immigration, drug use, and human trafficking. There will be no tariff on Mexico

The US unemployment rate is currently just under 4.5%, or about 7 million people theoretically available to fill job openings. \nIt’s highly likely that most of these folks are unemployable.\nSo, who’s going to work on the hundreds of thousands of factories that will need to be built in the US when trump “brings all those jobs back to America”?\nThen, on top of that, who’s going to replace the 10+ millions of undocumented workers that will be deported?\nGood luck with that, and enjoy the new, improved, and higher prices on everything you buy. \nLike they say, you get what you vote for.

Isolationism in the modern world doesn’t work, it’s an obsolete philosophy. The global world is far too interconnected, this will prove to be absolutely catastrophic not only economically but also politically. \n\nI’m independent, This in particular is NOT about politics, it doesn’t take a Democrat to conclude these little economic wars with the country we most depend on economically will prove catastrophic. Disagreeing with Trump on this doesn’t mean disagreeing with his presidency, let’s all understand the nuance in politics so we stop blindly agreeing with every choice politicians make just because we like them. \n\nBut ahh yes, Isolating the only two countries we border, the same countries that Russia, and China in particular are actively striving to increase their influence in, what could possibly go wrong Mr.Trump ?

I have huge respects for Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo the President of the United States of Mexico ?????? she has valid points. I hope both countries can work together EQUALLY (key word) for the best of both countries. As an American (love Mexico ??) I will acknowledge and call out the US for being BULLIES (don’t get me started with how exactly this country was founded ?….the US Government has a lot of innocent blood ? on their hands)….again it’s about RESPECT which I hope Trump will do(but let’s be real ….i doubt)

Mexico can fight all they want. Canada is ready to kick Mexico out, and negotiate a private deal with Trump. \n\nTrump hates China, and only Canada hates China more. Mexico works with China too much.

Trump has NO IDEA how things work. He's a major IDIOT.

Im a liberal recovering addict, and Mexico can't work with idiots like Trump because their too busy making deals and covering up the cartel doen the street

*What rubbush....it was Mexico that allowed everyone to come thru them to get too the US, including kids, illegal drugs that they worked with the cartels to do. So, they need to take them back & if they don;t Trump will handle them*

Wow strawberries from Mexico during the winter the year 2024 16.oz $8.00 per pint and my boss at the bakery where I work at is not going to be happy in the year 2025 when Mexico signs in the teriffis against the United States of America and when Trump signs 25% treiffis on Mexico that means my boss will pay $10.00 dollars 16. oz per pint of strawberry's during the winter of 2025 ? sad when Americans will lose their jobs

When has the Mexican government ever cared about it's people!? Half the government there is run by the cartel so please she can save her little comments and opinions. If she cared so much about anything involving Mexico she would be talking to trump about how they can work together to get rid of the cartel and move forward with putting them on the terrorist list, no she's worried about the wrong things. She doesn't CARE, she worried about money just like every other government official in Mexico.... who are being bribed by the cartels ....gurl bye she's a FONY!!!

Trump is stupid, if you hit me, I’m hitting back. That bully and intimidation BS, ain’t gonna work.

We all lost the election, but some of us don't realize it yet.\nThey will when food prices skyrocket due to trump’s tariffs and the lack of low-wage workers, who are the people who pick our fruit and veggies and work in the meat processing plants. FAFO.

Trump doesn't understand how and why US foreign policy (incl trade policy) works - which is part of why the GOP neocons and the deep state hates him like the plague (he can stuff up all their schemes with his ignorance)\nTrump is not cognizant of the reality (because it doesn't get talked about or said out loud in the mainstream media) that US is an Imperial power engaged in using complex diplomacy (including *sensitive* relationships cultivated over a long time) and threat of military force to suppress activities all over the planet in order to maintain a status quo where the US Empire gets to sit alone at the zenith of global power and wealth. It's not by real merit, this is a position established and maintained through aggression, and lot's of criminality carried out and built up over centuries of exploitative activities, which is why the deep state and powerful elite classes are so desperate to maintain the empire (and stop history from happening) because if forced to play on a more level playing field it becomes clearer that the sort of capitalism and unchecked neoliberalism the US political establishment is engaged in (and the current outcomes) are completely unsustainable.\nLike if something changed and the US dollar stopped being relied on as the premiere reserve currency of choice then they wouldn't be able to keep printing and spending money on value-losing expenses and they'd realize how badly screwed not just the economy is but the entire culture of thinking would have an existential crisis

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

Angela Merkel gets it right when she says that trump doesn't do win-win or work together he does winner - loser. He is a bad guy, America you got it wrong with the Cleptokrat.

The Trump virus is about spread to Canada and Mexico. Are they working on a vaccination for it ?

I apologize to all the Canadians ??!!! Canada has always been a strong ally of the U.S. and a great friend!! Many Americans and Canadians have family together, dual citizenship, and travel and live back and forth in both countries. I am so sorry Trump is being awful to you.\n\nDecreasing the flow of illegal drugs and reducing fentanyl deaths in both countries would benefit Canada and the U.S. Both countries are close partners and I’m sure are already working to address this. I’m sure all Trump had to do was ask nicely and Canada would have handedly agreed to work with the U.S. amid redoubled efforts.

Think globally, we are not by our selves. Trump is about to find out how the world works. We can no longer act like we rule and no one else matter. Your costs on everything is about to go up and the amount in your pocket is about to go down. Stupid is not cheap. You voted for him, this is what you get !

Many companies are leaving China because of regulations so Trump is again late to the table, but it works for his cult followers.

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

DJT is going to take credit for those low border numbers. TRUST ME. He called BIDEN the worst president ever (DJT doesn't know history). Biden has worked for a cease fire in the Middle East (watch Trump take credit) and he'll try and take credit for the border numbers.

TRUMP DOESNT 2ANT MEXICAN PEOPLE, BUT WANTS THEIR PRODUCTS, AND WANTS TO FORCE AMERICANS TO PAY 25 PERCENT MORE FOR THOSE PRODUCTS.\nAMERICANS WILL REFUSE TO PAY.\nTHIS WILL NOT WORK FOR ANYONE. BUT.....STUPID RICH AMERICANS WANT THIS FOR THE WORLD.

Trump is about to get a lesson in how the real world work. He is going to isolation himself from the real world ? 25 per cent tariff on Canada ?? is he out of his mind. Idiot

When Trump is put in office, he’s putting all of us at risk specially with China putting those tariffs Canada and Mexico have worked with us, but those other entities like North Korea, China, and other countries that don’t like us like Putin is.

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.
