Trump is attacking his own people with tariffs He's attacking the American import Not Colombia

???Hey MAGA, your cost for a cup of coffee just went up! Trump just imposed a 25 percent “emergency” tariff on all Colombian imports, which will be raised to 50 percent in a week!

Trump Tariffs hit the American working class in the gut!

Question: Did the paper tiger impose tariffs on Mexico yet? Mexico also rejected deportation flights from the US. I was just wondering. Did he find out that perhaps it’s not wise to flex on Mexico so let’s instead pick on the little guy in Columbia to look strong?…IJS

The world needs to come together and start hitting the US with massive tariffs for the next 4 years. Make a point to Trump.

Do any of you geniuses here realize who pays for tariffs? Your supporting higher prices on imported goods!\nGo from trade free relationship.. to 25% tariffs?\nWhy?\nSo boner boy keeps his ego stoked?

President Donald J Tariff

Breaking: Colombia now retaliating by announcing tariffs on US passport bros effective immediately

Fun fact: Columbia is where we get a major chunk of our coffee from, so now our coffee, our fuel for working Americans will get more expensive if this is a prolonged tariff! We're just hurting ourselves with these outrageous tariffs because all of these countries (even Columbia) can just sell the supply of whatever the US is putting a tariff on to other countries like in Europe or Asia, or could just put retaliatory tariffs on us, leading to a possible trade war over FUCKING COFFEE. Our 2 party political system sucks harder than the jet engines of those planes that got denied.

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

?? i don't know who's the bigger idiot?! #47 who seemingly believes the tariffs are bad for the countries he's putting them on or the idiots who applaud his actions seemingly unaware that they get to foot the bill! Dumb arses!

Quick, Americans should stock up on coffee from Colombia ($1.5 Billion); cut flowers, bulbs, live trees ($1.6 Billion); mineral fuels, oil, distillation products ($7.2 Billion); pearls, precious stones, metals, coins ($1.9 Billion); and another 100+ products that make up another $10 to $12 Billion of annual imports. So, 50% tariffs on the total imports with Columbia would mean American importers of these goods would pay an additional $10 Billion which...of course...adds to their 'landed cost of goods' and gets passed on to guess who? The end consumer.

how does an entire administration not know how tariffs work?

The world applies a 200% tariff on USA goods.

Imagine all latin america and Canada puts tariffs on Usa

American citizens are the ones that are going to pay for the tariffs

Columbia is just going to hit us with tariffs. Trump is going to isolate America from the world. He wants us to be big North Korea

Trump lovers doe not have the intelectual ability to comprehend why the plane was not allowed to land. They also do not understand that the tariffs will be paid by them

Columbian companies aren't going to pay for the tariffs. Americans are.

lol Americans are so uneducated and think the tariffs are going to help them reduce the cost of goods ??????

lol, Colombia just responded with 25% raise tariffs, LOL

First of all he is President Trump you know just like you referred to Biden as President Biden and not Joe Biden . Secondly the tariffs that were going to be imposed on Columbia , that wasn’t a threat it was a promise . Apparently they have forgotten about who they are trying to push around because those days are long since gone.

Don't forget to mention the 50 % tariff Columbia put on the USA .Get ready for outrageous coffee prices

This CLOWN is PUSHING our neighbor-hood nations into the hands of CHINA. Good LUCK WITH THESE STUPID TARIFFS. We will see the prices pf coffee, bananas and avocados SPIKE HIGH in the USA. What foolishness.

Now Colombia will impose a 25% Tariff on of products exported to Colombia from the United States.....get ready for the depression ....

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

Tariff the money out of them. Make them take us seriously!!!

Tariffs will soon have the force of a candy bar.

Jack up tariffs unless Canada gets serious

Well, the commercial balance benefits the US at the moment, Colombia responding with tariffs will tend to hur the US the most, but what important it's populism.

The Americans, the end users/consumers pay the tariffs imposed by Trump. The importer/exporters passes this additional cost/tax to end users/consumers. The government earns this tariffs...as simple as that.

Trump and the MAGA morons should look up the meaning of trade in a dictionary. There is a give and take, there’s buying and selling, that meets the needs of both parties. Trade tariffs is not how anyone with common sense wants to deal with any and every minute dispute like a senseless toddler. Both sides get hurt. Even the tariffs on Russia hurt other countries that imposed them too and that was a calculated move because the war calls for extreme measures.\nWhat the Trump sycophants that probably can’t read need to know is that Colombia accepted hundreds of these flights in the last few years. The only reason they pushed back now is on human indignity. This is the first they received a flight with their civilians cuffed up like animals. The Colombian president said that is not how you treat humans, at least not my people, send them back in a civilised way where they are not dehumanised and we’ll take them. He even sent his own planes later and took them back.\nA sane leader would order his team to review the process and advise them of appropriate measures going forward. An insane, thin skinned snowflake throws tantrums in their diapers and these Trump tariffs are precisely that. Sure, this will reduce the cost of living for the idiots that voted for him ??‍♂️

25/100 tariffs on Colombian coffee and bananas, this will make companies grow bananas and coffee in New York

correction Americans have been hit with Tariffs from Trump. food product prices going up.

Explain it to them through THEIR lens. Thats what they care about. Here is an example: feel free to use it:\nYou buy a GE company bulb that is made in China for $10.\nNow trump imposes a 25% tariff on imports from China. \n1. Who collects the Tariff: The US Govt.\n2. Who pays the extra 25%? GE. \n3. Is GE a philanthrophic/charity organization? No. So why will they bear the cost of the exta 25%?\n4. So what do they do? Now your bulb costs $12.5.\n5. Why? Because 25% of 10 is 2.5. So 10+2.5=12.5\n6. What does this increase in price mean? Inflation.\n7. Wont this encourage make in America? No, because you deported immigrants and now you have to pay american wages. Suddenly your bulb costs $20 because GE pays minimum wage to an American. So yeah, now everything is made in America but you are homeless paying more for everything.

He’s just a scumbag. He’s implementing tariffs to Mexico Canada and Colombia, but he has to wait for Chinas meeting. What a freaking looser piece of crap ?. ????

please don’t put tariffs on colombian cocaine sir.

How is it a tariff on Columbia its a tariff on the American people because it is they who will pay the tariff a tax on American people You still buy bananas and coffee and Columbian oil causing inflation and higjer prices on the American people?

Columbia just increase tariffs on cocaine. Then what will MAGA do?

The tariff are paid for by the US importers. It’s a classic Trumpism own-goal. Hilarious.

Trump needs to learn the world is not at his knees. He is an obnoxious bully who thinks he and he alone can save the world. In less than one week he has insulted, threatened and lied so many times I lost count. Releasing convicted criminals who amongst other things, assaulted police officers. All this from a convicted felon! Well Donnie, go ahead and impose your tariffs on the world. America, because of you has become a pariah amongst the rest of the world.

Does trump not realize he’s screwing all his rich friends companies with these tariffs

Guess who is paying that tariff at the end of the day? Us!! Dummies

So Columbia has agreed to come pick up their own people from Honduras and retaliated with tariffs back to us. Trump didn’t win anything.

Congrats maga morons this is how everything is getting cheaper the toddler is chief puff up and now you will be paying 50% more in tariffs that the US people pay for. MAGA morons this is all on you don’t complain later

It's Americans who will pay the tariffs.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are 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 am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. 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 I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From 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 imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.
