Trump said: “I’m going to make America great again by placing tariff on other countries. To lower the price in America, I’ll raise the price outside of America .”

It seems that if Adlof Trump was even 1/10th as smart as the President of Mexico he would actually have a brain. Last time Adlof Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber the price of OSB sheathing went from 9 bucks a sheet to 56 bucks a sheet. That really taught Canada a lesson as we paid thousands more for each home that was built after that.

Border crossings are already down to almost nothing? Gee I wonder why. Trump isn't even in office and people have stopped trying to get in.

We are 1/4 of the worlds economy. If they wanna stare down, they are going to feel some pain. Trump is using this as a bargaining chip to grow. Commerce in the United States.

One can see that the Mexican president will quickly run circles around trump.

Why is Trump insisting on doing something that is so obviously stupid? Oh wait, I just read what I wrote and remembered who we are dealing with and then I answered my own question.

CNN hasn't changed one bit!!.....still pushing lies!.......\nmex pres.....you're not going to win bucking trump!

BREAKING!!!!! Biden administration advised Mexico on how to counter act Trumps tariffs. BREAKING!!!!!!!

Trump and his special needs Maga supporters are making the U.S. a global joke. If I go abroad I will probably have to disguise myself as a non U.S. citizen.

Our government had once said that is Yellowstone eruption we’d have to flee to Mexico so what is trump doing

Trump is a total moron

Clowns...illegals numbers are possibly lower now because they know Trump won and they're wasting their time coming...Mexico didn't do sh** for 4 years either...in fact they allowed migrants to pass through to the U.S.

She is a real Zionst and Trump is a Charistan zionist. She does not care

tight your wallets ,HUMONGOUS RECESSION IS COMING IN 2025, REAL ESTATE WILL UP 25% TRUMP RAISED THE REAL ESTATE ,AND ALL THE MARKETS ARE RAISING RENT IN 2025, PEOPLE WILL TAKE MONEY FROM BANKS, SOME BANKS WILL CLOSE UNDER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Tarriff exclusions are a carrot and stick, which will bring businesses and entire industries to heel. Corruption is going to flood the zone, as Trump threatens disaster after disaster, and makes everyone bend kneees and open wallets to get out of it. Bezos' WaPo policy is a canary in the coal mine. DOGE will also be used in this fashion - in addition to being the world's biggest crypto scam: nothing will shoot crypto prices up like cutting tens of thousands of civil service jobs and replacing them with blockchain + AI, forcing mass adoption. If that sounds like conspiracy theory, this is Musk we are talking about - blockchain and AI are two of his favorite techs. The non-agency is named after a crypto that was nearly worthless - until Elon hyped it in 2020, manipulated the market, and is now worth 54 billion while having no inherent value. Much of that came as Trump endorsed crypto and Musk endorsed Trump. If you don't want your Federal funding cut, talk to one of Elon or Vivek's shell companies. If you want a tarriff exclusion. If you don't want your workers' families deported . . . the list goes on and on.

CNN: Mexico has done a lot or help Biden on the border. \n\nlol, who is going to tell CNN? They are so dumb and oblivious . Trump won largely because of the shit border lol

Trump shooting his own foot

And Canada will issue a tariff on America, you Trump voters, voted for a great businessman that his businesses have been bankrupt 7 TIMES......enjoy!

Audience, Trump doesn't care about Mexico/Latinos. The Latinos sure didn't electing Trump as the 47th Potus.

Waiting for things go up in the market to see how happy Trump supporters reac

Abbott and Trump are insane. If they don’t like what’s happening THEY should LEAVE!

If yall would give America time to re industrialize the prices will go down. But trump needs to take the money from tarriffs and give it to businesses to build new factories, creating more jobs.

I simply hate Trump and I have never hated anyone before.

Did she REALLY say that Mexico has done a lot to help the Biden administration curtail illegal immigration and help with the security of the southern border? Lol!!!! Record illegal immigration happened during the first 3.5 years of the Biden administration, in great part helped by the Mexican government. The only reason that the Biden administration(and Mexico) increased border security is because it was election time and Biden knew that the American voters were pissed. It is amazing how dishonest the corrupt mainstream media is. Wow! It's a good thing that most Americans are now able to see through the mainstream media bullshit and were able to re-elect President Trump and the Republicans back to power.

HECK to those businesses, most of them voted for Trump.

It is wild how confident y'all are in these comment sections. Weren't we certain Trump was losing? Didn't Biden have vitality and was as sharp as ever? You people have no idea what the fk you are talking about. You just want to feel like you are living in a time where we are falling apart because you're a fat, comfortable, and bored.

TRUMP MANUFACTURES TRUMP PRODUCTS SUCHS AS HIS TIE’S IN CANADA INDONESIA TURKEY AND CHINA ?? OHHH THE HYPOCRISY

And Trump being the narcissistic misogynist he is will totally ignore the Mexican president (because she is a woman, and he is threatened by strong & intelligent women) on it all. \n\nFAFO MAGA. Now we are finding out how stupid you all really are. You voted this clown in, now deal with the consequences and repercussions. Enjoy your cheap eggs, hope you choke on them.

Trump is selling the American People Snake Oil! It's going to get bad in America.

When is cnn going to stop being a cheer leader for trump its so embarrasing. They literally copy the same news as fox

Much of the material that makes Up Tesla Vehicles is imported. So Very likely Musk Will be exempt from Trump tariffs.

he wont stop with tariffs -- he'll gut entitlements next. The sad part is, those who voted for trump voted for this dumpster fire of a presidency that hasn't even begun yet. We will all pay but I'm not forgetting how we got here.

TRUMP He is going to destroy the economy again like he did in 2020

bye bye Mexico and hope you give felon trump holy hell - Fdjt \n? proves maga is dumber than rocks

I don’t like trump but I agree with him in this issue. Mexico is doing this in purpose, they want usa to be destroyed. 25% tariff isn’t enough, should be much more .

CNN already forgot the voters voted Trump because of illegal immigration.

BLA BLA BLA!!!! FROM MEXICAN PRESIDENT LET'S SEE WHEN TRUMP STEP INTO POWER, YOU CAN NOT COMPETE WITH AMERICA ON SANCTIONS ,MEXICAN PRESIDENT IS DELUSIONAL IN HER ASSESSMENT

If Trump does a mass deportation in the US, Mexico is going to do the same kicking all Americans out of their country. Trump is a poor business man and no leadership but chaos.

Trump the ripper.

You guys hate trump so much you fail to support even positive things

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

So happy this woman leader doesn't roll over for bully Trump.

God bless we have Trump now! ?? Do they think if they get through before he takes office that they're going to get to stay? He will turn their asses right back.

Hahaha you people are so mad, what happened the first time Trump put on Tariffs and the economy was booming. He cut payroll tax and corporate tax, bringing back manufacturing in America. Now the proposal is no tax on OT, SS, and tip. The economy and the people will be great!\n\nWake up and smell the success! Can't you see the incredible impact these policies are having? It's time to acknowledge the truth and embrace the results. Don't let your bias blind you to the undeniable positive outcomes. \n\nStop fighting progress and start recognizing the benefits of these changes. The facts speak for themselves – why are you still ignoring them? Open your eyes to the reality of the situation, and see the difference it's making for everyone.

The tariffs are already working in less than 8 hrs. ??? Both Mexico & Canada’s presidents called Trump !

If you do not know there are too many undocumented immigrants in California we need Donald Trump's help now

That woman is serious. Makes us look worse with Trump.

What exactly is Trump going to do in order to bring-down prices ?

Hahaha and the low number of border crossing is after the news trump got elected, it already started working it's magic. Just like the stock market, are the left also going to say biden made the stock rise
