CNN is bending the knee…#Standup …boycott Musk businesses and any US business that supports Trumpty Dumpty

CNN- This is how a f*king man handles business- unlike weak Democrat chumps.

Any business with Columbia is not good their government is so corrupt you never experienced that you just don't know

Fifty tons on fentanyl just rolled across while CBP officers were busy with this madness.

We mean business!

***WORLD TAKE NOTICE*** ??The USA has a real President again!\nCNN carrying water for Colombia…when are you going out of business??

The nation were given our businesses by the last 5 democratic presidents. FACT. Its time we get them back. The only way farieners will make money is lower prices and more product.

We can live without Bananas and Coffee, they can't live without our $. This is how business works.

All about using money as a way of negotiating.\nMakes him feel powerful. Countries will get disgusted with Trump's threats and they will do business elsewhere\nBet Russia would appreciate more business

Now that's how a great President conducts business swift with great results! So glad we no longer have the lameass duck/duckass.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

Colombia , our President is not fucking around . You can't win . Don't even try . President Trump will put your ass out of business . The price of illegal drugs just went up .

They would lose LOTS of business as US buys a ton but we also produces it’s our own. Why they already backed down in under 1 hour. \n\nTariffs are used as a weapon, not a tax, because people will stop buying and buy elsewhere. Ultimately it becomes cheaper or the same to buy US made items meaning more U.S. workers.

Trump is standing on business!! ?Get yo people

Bye-bye, Columbia we are not do business with you

Ohh No ... Guess we would just have to stop doing trade with them all together..... You telling me another country wouldn't do whatever had to be done to take the place on imports / exports ?? Folgers Coffee goes up in price ... Maxwell House drops their price in hopes to garner all of Folgers business.... That's how business works .....

If that does not work, targeting remittances would be the coup de grâce. President Petro needs the foreign exchange to keep his economy going especially since he is facing a new insurgency. The business community in Columbia is very sophisticated and there will be tremendous pressure on Petro to relent.

It's not surprising that Trump doesn't want his grades from Wharton School of Business released because he was at the bottom of his class and he is a multiple times failed businessman who has had everything in his life handed to him on a silver platter. Trump doesn't understand the basic fact that tariffs are passed on to consumers and INCREASE prices, NOT decrease them.

Well I guess people in other countires drink coffee and would aprecciate other goods that Colombia also has to offer. Colombia should unite to the BRICS and leave the US to get those products somewhere else. From what I see, America needs more from Colombia than Colombia from them. Believe me, there are other nations that want to do business with Colombia.

People don’t understand tariffs. It hurts the foreign country far more. It means American companies will not buy from them leading them to lower prices or not do business with America. which is catastrophic for them.

How the world has changed. As a Business Major in the 90s, the WSJ was the guardian of Conservative thinking and held steadfast against any kind of Liberal ideas as cuckoo. Now the WSJ is basically in full agreement with Democrats, and against most Trump policies. Honestly, as someone that just watches the freak show, as George Carlin so famously said, I'm left wondering who is right or wrong. Also, where is this going? It seems almost all Conservative support is now with Fox News and podcasters. Hardly any networks or newspapers, no news agencies (as we know Fox isn't a news agency).

Its called handling business. Brandon couldn't handle his business without a diaper.

Tariffs means that US business will pay an additional cost to import the product which will then be passed on the US consumer through higher prices. So the only ones who will suffer are American consumers.

Yeah no one is going to do business with the US???

This man means business he not playing with nobody these 4 years try him if you want I feel bad if your on the bad side of President Trump

Trump doesn’t care if food prices go up for Americans. As long as McDonalds doesn’t go out of business and he can still go get his daily Big Mac, he could care less.

All this means is that USA consumers pay more for whatever Colombia exports and what consumers will need ( supermarket food produce for example) ?? It does not help US farmers who cannot deliver to super markets their field produce because Trump is deporting workers who go into the fields whom primarily collect it !!!\nTrump is basically taxing the US consumers and pushing prices up !! The US importer pays the tariffs (US customs tax at port of entry) whom then passes it onto the consumer !!\nThe consumer can of course not purchase the product which would hurt Colombia exports; the importers would have to hurriedly find another source whom would probably also increase their price because of demand.\nTrump is a loser and always will be; his businesses are mostly failures; even casinos !!

We can take our business somewhere else it’s not the end of the world it’s the country’s fault for not taking there people back

So everyone better go buy there coffee NOW!! Listen everyone if you voted for this idiot you will REGRET IT!! Trump will ruin our country like ALL HIS BUSINESSES!!

Oh CNN is still in business????????

His honeymoon week is over. And Marco Rubio is gonna be busy playing Secretary of Janitorial affairs ?

HOW STUPID ARE YOU MORONS!!? He’S THE Business MASTER!!! HES GETTING IT DONE AND TARIFFS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT!!!!!

This is what Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate. That's the difference between a President with business experience, as opposed to a President who is a lawyer and a lifelong politician.

WOW this is the absolutely fantastic, this is exactly how we should conduct business, also please REMEMBER each MILITARY SPECILIST FLIGHT costs about 325,000 USD.

Busy busy⛳️?️‍♀️

Trump means business. He ain't playing!

One thing to note is if there are high tarrifs on one country..as a business person I would choose the second lowest country to get the same product(if the product is rare and unique to that country obviously gov will exclude that from tarrifs)...why would I pay 25% extra...\n\nSince US has money many countries are willing to do business...So it's finally a loss to Colombia or any other country.

Hahaha I told you that wouldn't work what a Clown show ? ? And the only person that is going to feel all of this is the small businesses . What a clown ? And we got what it's something about before they start thinking about using 25 amendment on him. Clown show.

Canada will gladly buy Colombian goods such as coffee! Let's do business directly between us and leave the USA out... It's time to stop the nonsense of letting the USA do money on us!

You're a real bad businessman trump, do you know how many businesses now will shut down because of coffee that will cost us instead of $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks it will now be 15 think about what you've done you really need to stay out of business because you suck at it

Liar liar. Food does not only come from Columbia. Columbia business loss is opportunity for another Country to increase their export.

Do you people hear that? Every piece of information provided by CNN comes with a comment. No wonder CNN is going out of business. If CNN supports socialists and wants Colombian bananas so bad, go to Colombia and buy them yourself.

Brilliant plan! Does anyone realize that all these tariffs will not affect the countries that he’s placing the tariffs on. US businesses pay for these tariffs then they pass on the cost of the tariffs to us the US citizens. Can’t wait to see how this is gonna go over.

The world needs to stand up to Trump. They should stop all Trade to the USA. Keep their stock and reconstruct a world economic forum. If Trump doesn’t want to negotiate and honour trade agreements that he committed too, no one should commit to doing business. Just look to his history, he is a fraud and a bully. He used MAGA to get to where he is and now they are left with scrambled eggs and Bird Flu. Oh yeah, no public notice required - why inform the public of infectious and safety related health and food issues. Eating USA products is equivalent to Russian Roulette.

Sticks and carrots, it is how Trump do Business ?

USA, you are also the biggest illegal migrant! STAY out of where you don’t belong and mind your own business!

Well alot of gop and democrat business make alot of money off immigrants. Cheap slave labor.

They defending this illegal immigration crap because it’s a big financial business only. ?‍♂️

Additionally, if anything is not going their way, they complain about racism and why Canadians don’t understand their culture. Yet, they have no interest in learning about and adapting to Canadian culture. Many brought with them the ways of dealing with people and doing business that are often very shady and Canadians are forced to adapt to them. I support immigration as it adds to the diversity of our culture. However, when 80% of the permanent residence VISA were issued to Indians last year, that’s not diversity. We don’t want to become India 2.0.
