This fits Trump's narrative too well. CNN coverage has changed since ownership switched hands. We knew it would be gradual perceptive switch but it has indeed fallen from the standards of the past. Closer to a fox for the next caste up. You only know what you are shown. You work the same job and see the same people. If you watch the same news outlets you are exposing yourself to information crafted from the same perspective. My world is small vs reality and yours is too. Think about the decades of Americans trying to keep them out, investing money in walls and barriers and wire when we could have helped stabilize these countries to where these guys wouldn't feel like they HAD to come here to live with dignity. All To be treated like this. We have had decades to fix the problem acknowledge the root problem, but we spend our tax money, time, and efforts reapplying bandaids and barriers at the border.

Every country should unite and shut the US down, they’ll only end up hurting their own economy by issuing tariffs, which is good for everyone else. Time to break the Zionist hegemony.

Howdy Trumpies? Prepare for inflation. I wonder if MAGA even understand how tariffs work? Tariffs are trade barriers, and they can be used to protect domestic industry. \nSuppose US imports a product 'A' for $100 from some country. Now, if 10% tariffs are imposed on that country then that product 'A' would be sold for $110. Enjoy!!! \nYes, a domestic company can produce that product A and sell it at low prices like say $90, since no import duties or stuff. However, that takes time and not all products can be produced domestically!

bliss you, western countries is in the downfall any way, it's a matter of time now.

I knew that was going to happen. Trump thought he could just dump plane loads of people in another country. There's going to be a lot more resistance, not only here in the u.s. but around the world. The fascist and the oligarchs have to go. It's time to stand. Let's unite in large numbers.And we don't go till our demands are met. We'll put the whole country on hold. THE ART OF THE DEAL.

I was born and raised in America on 56 years old and I can't even get an apartment and hear they're giving these immigrants 68,000 and 6 months to live on just handed to them for free. And I can't even get my tax refund that they owe me from 2018 $5,000 because I have to prove that it's me and they're giving me such a hard time they keep saying no it's not you answer these questions wrong. Whatever freaking Biden Harris just destroyed this country in 4 years

This is nothing but an invasion. When we are struggling to find a full time job in our country..

Less than an hour Columbia is now sending their presidential plane to pick up those illegals. About time we have a president who stands up for our country. Job well done Trump, what an amazing week, lets not stop there keep on going.

I STRONGLY ADVISE CNN to replace the word TRUMP with the word USA to make it clear that all the chaos and ill will being generated is squarely the responsibility of the country ... United States of America which so blindly and misguidedly elected a bully / fascist/racist/ sexist/narcissist/ corrupt/ convicted felon as its President .... \nCNN, I strongly advise you NOT to glorify TRUMP by mentioning his name a million times on your news.... BLACK OUT his name ..... just replace the word TRUMP with the word USA. \nHope you understand how critical this is....\nplease avoid feeding Trump's hunger for attention......

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

How to make the whole world hate you one country at a time. He’s been president now for 5 days and he’s already trying to bully Mexico Panana Canada Denmark Greenland and counting.

Trump is treating his country like his own business.\ni suspect he is trying to CRASH entire united states STOCK MARKET and all the businesses \n\nso that he can use his proxies to pick up all these businesses and buy stock at steep discount\ngiven he has the money and his immediate Musk is the richest person on earth. \nthey can ENRICH themselves but many many times. \nin the pretext of saving these companies.

Dear CNN,\nPresident Trump pulling tail leave head\n(do you have any idea that who emptied your barn godowns and converted english countries as countries of worthless?).\nThe people (true culprits) who stand as threat to US (and english and Christian european) hide somewhere (these impostors so far received no damages, besides american couldn't identify wolf and sheep).\nThese south american are people of less harm (these people easily fell into the hands of security forces and receiving humiliation).\nStudy about the charector of immigrants and treat accordingly (in the way that is suitable).\nHarassing neighbours bring bitter yielding (in long term/for a long period of time).

Can anyone imagine the circumstances and fate of those people in the aeroplane, like no country wants them, Shit ! that's bad, seems like they are gonna be in aeroplane on air for a very very long time. Thats what happens when you start to measure and compare your dick,. somebody else suffers.

Why the HELL is TRump allowed to get away with this time after time! Colombia needs to import to other countries. Don't do business with Nazi America.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Go home and Demand your leaders back home to support your family rights freedom protection food shelter school and jobs the same way you all voted for charges here do the same back home stop running from your country and fight to build it to be the greatest country for yourself and you will never have to go through this in your life again man will fail you but God will never forsake you it's a sign time run out you all got court in the change you all voted for against your self this is f up why did you all vote for trump knowing he's a man to his word whether he's right or wrong his going to get his way because you all give him the right to do what ever he wants to do with your life in God we continue to trust hallelujah amen ??

China are you listening, this is a great opportunity to create an alliance with those countries. Trump will fail on this. Colombia will do exactly what the US will do. Colombia's population is a 52million compared to the US's 345.4 million do you think they care? hell no. so get ready for the tough times ahead.

It is time to respect all countries and use diplomacy and christian principles that USA preaches to its pockets and convenience..Human dignity should be applied in foreign policy..!! ..

You can bet that every country he has threatened with tariffs, travel restrictions and other sanctions are already taking steps to be ready for them. Not only tit-for-tat tariffs etc, but also plans pulling national funds and other investments out of US banks and corporations and numerous other less obvious retaliations. The Law of Unintended Consequences is about to kick into effect big time and it will be interesting to see how it is manifested. Putin and Xi must be laughing their asses off.

Every time countries don't bow to your threats you punish the American consumers by raising taxes, soon Americans will be poor and can't afford to buy anything. Idiots in charge.

Every Latin American country, most be join BRICS and get away from the USA, Trump must be left alone by all of us, and us have to be united. he is a traitor, that will turn against all of us at some point. this is the time to act.

Yeaaaaa! TRUMP isn’t a cup cake like Biden! Time the countries find out! CNN too. Course they’re broke!

It's about time we get our country back, im loving what I'm seeing, thanks God for this President.

It's time for world leaders to stand up to this Orange Buffoon, he can't terrorize the whole world. Other countries can put tariffs in place as well, they all need to unite. it will crush the US Economy within days!

Who the hell wants anything from Colombia, other countries will step up to the plate, these are modern times and the fruits etc will stay and rot in Colombia

Trump hit the ground sprinting. He is wasting no time cleaning up this country. I'm proud of him so far ❤

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

I love how the Columbian president just folded so quickly. The reality is, read the whole post. You'll see how strong it is. Basically, nobody is going to refuse to take their damn criminals back. Because if they do, Trump will make their economy collapse. It's about time someone sorted this country out.

Other countries grow bananas and coffee. But I can give them up for a long, long time and be just fine.

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

Trump will piss off the whole world,one country at a time.

Suddenly undocumented immigrants from other countries claim to be Americans in origin. I guess it's time to fly everyone to the states until they can verify otherwise eh?

EACH COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT FOR WHO THEY WANT IN THEIR COUNTRY ALSO VIVA COLUMBIA TIME TO TIGHTEN UP YOUR BELTS PEOPLE TRUMP IS TRAMPLING THIS COUNTRY DEPRESSION IS COMING THANK YOU MAGA FOLLOWERS

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

This is the right time for world to come together and leave America ?? alone this Trump thought that without America the world can not serve he is laying Colombia is right America is big enough give them some part you're land to make the migratin shame on you America the country which was builded by the migrat

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

So happy to be a proud AMERICAN it’s time for yall to go back to where you came from and get taxed to the fullest extent please leave so our country can be great again

How much money wasted to attempt to fly folks back to countries w/ lack of preparation.. should have had agreement ahead of time instead of thinking a country would let you land w/o prior agreement.. idiots..

Trump is still trying to take over the world, one country at a time.

One way or the other, we’re all going to pay for electing MAGA. How many people will starve when other countries join Columbia? In the mean time, we’re paying to house these “undocumented” migrants.

I guess we are all forgetting the invasion of the boat people in the 80’s…\nWhen the postal worker (mailman) accidentally delivered a government letter to my house instead of next door, I could see cash in the envelope. This is our country, but they have been helping anyone that has their hand out for far too long. It’s about time we are putting a stop to this madness.

I'm a Finn living in Paraguay. My husband and I lived in Germany for eleven years until we moved to Paraguay two years ago. Life is good even though financially it's different than in Germany. However, we have built a house, we have some land, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. We have a car and food. It's more than I ever dreamed of. We strongly feel that we have a future and it's lovely.\n\nOne thing one must keep in mind: part of your first home country and your past will always be in you. That creates a process of mourning you have to go through. And the longer you are away the greater becomes the difference between you and your own country because you both are changing but to the different directions. You realize that there's no going back. This is what I'm processing at the moment. I know it takes its time and one day it will be completely fine.\nI wish you all the best for your life.

Nope it's time to enter this country legally.

It's time to make these southern countries a part of the United States.

Every single country has the right to accept or deny anyone wanting to enter their country based on their own criteria. Travelling to a country is luxury and living & working there are privileges! I’ve had the privilege to work and live for 2 years in India and I’ve respected every single procedure I had to go trough, I had all my papers, I respected the country and culture, did my job as good as I could, stayed out of trouble and went back home when it was time to do that. Just like India has the right to set its immigration rules as strict as they want in order to protect their sovereignty so does any other country on the face of the planet earth! If you want to be accepted anywhere on planet earth (this is an advice for everyone and anyone from any country) you must EARN IT not demand it!

It sounds like you came to this country via the border. You were probably lucky. Maybe at that time we had a caring administration in office, probably a Democrat which allowed you to get that green card fairly quickly.

They sure take a lot for granted! Time to toughen up in this country and for starters get rid of this federal government before this country is unable to come back from the 3rd world state it has become.

My heart does go out to those who do truly seek a safer and better life for themselves and their families. But they have to turn to God instead of alternative religions to heal their land. This is our country, we have fought and given our lives for it. Its time to put Americans first. I pray they stand before their own government for reform. Turn to God for it and for protection. Its the only way. Come back legally. Wait your turn. ????✝️????
