CNN can’t help but embarrass themselves with their Trump hatred. They are claiming that Trumps threats against Columbia could hurt American citizens while the Colombian president has already given in to Trumps demands.

All of this is going to hurt Americans more than the countries he thinks he's punishing. What an idiot.

Tariffs won't hurt Colombia, they will hurt American taxpayers. Dumb trump.

It's only going to hurt the American people, Trump is so fucking STUPID!

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.

Tarrifs only hurt Americans. Dumb ass

So, tRump way on governing is to threaten everyone that doesn't agree with him isn't that the approach of a dictator. But the tariffs are going to HURT US the American consumers not the other countries.

Colombia and these other countries aren't gonna be paying for these tariffs so I don't know what kind of threat this is to Columbia. Tariffs, they're gonna hurt the American people and nobody else!

Columbia dont give a sh@@t about the U.S. All it will do is hurt the American people dummies

Trump thinks him spitefully putting Tarifs on these countries because they aren’t bowing to to him . Trump i keep saying he doesn’t care for humanity he out of anger and him being a narcissist and no empathy behind doesn’t care if we the people are negatively affected. No but his supporters this is who they wanted. Y’all tried to hurt those Americans who are your color but you hurt your own selves.

Trump is so dumb. The countries don’t care about his stupid tariffs as it will only hurt us Americans. Tariffs get passed on to us and not the country being tariffed ?

Wake-up tariffs will hurt Americans.

So the only people it's going to hurt is Americans, if that! Trump is a dumbass that doesn't know what he's doing.

Americans really dont understand tariffs, Tariffs Hurt the country PUTTING THE TARIFFS ON, SANCTIONS hurts the country that they are PUT ON, i think americans get confused

That’s what they call diplomacy. Not. The yellow blob is insane. Maybe he should have spoken to the country he was deporting people to first before he did it. What a fool. And yes once again tarries only hurt Americans.

Shows he has no diplomatic skills, his answer to countries that hurt his ego is tariffs that hurt American people, his 5 year old mentality

My god listen to you people…… these people are hurting they have fn familes here i would remind every fucking american to read the poem that is emblazoned on the fucking statue of liberty!!!!!

This is a result of the people of their country refusing to fight and die for their country,we inherited this because of AMERICANS who fought and died for what we inherited,and you better believe (because of Trump)we aren't gonna lose what they provided because people are afraid of getting hurt or dying fighting fighting for freedom

Allowing illegal immigration to take place willingly is making it impossible for Americans to live out the American dream. It’s not about us not being considerate or empathetic. It’s about us having those feelings for Americans because we are hurting our economy. Our jobs. Our schools are production and manufacturing are all hurting. Crime rates are skyrocketing sanctuary cities are turning into dystopian crime syndicate, filled organizations.

They knew it was coming he's giving plenty of time to know they should have just went ahead and went home themselves I hate to see him crying and unto all upset but we don't have room in America for you we don't even have that many jobs for you we don't have no jobs for the American people more or less immigrants and we're going broke by trying to feed them and put them up in the hotels and do everything else trying to help him out you can't do that to the American people cuz you're hurting America totally

The economy is going to go through a recession simply due to the lack of immigrant workers. You don’t see any lazy Americans doing these jobs. And once that happens and unfolds, Trump will reverse his stance. If he doesn’t, and he stands on his stubbornness, combined with all his otherpolicies that will hurt the country, he’ll likely face the same exit as Mussolini did in Italy.

Its sad when your family members are hit by cars driven by illigals with no vehicle insurance, and the illigals walk away with no cosiquences , they are breaking our laws. Stop giving us all their stories, tell the stories of the americans that were hurt by illigals.

indians are not hurting at all they own everything thanks to no income tax for 8 years and pass it on to another thats how they drive lamborghnis and americans drive junk

Every thi. Is just hurting american

He couldn't get the last President of Mexico to pay for his so called wall, then embezzled funds raised by US citizens to build it, then had a completion ceremony, which was a lie. What was built was about 10 miles of fencing that was being climbed by sun down the same day. His idea was to shoot all those who crossed in the legs or dig a moat and fill it full of alligators. Now he thinks that putting tariffs on goods coming in from other countries will hurt THEM, but it doesn't, it hurts us the American consumers, so who he really wants to hurt is us, the American public. Effectively he has now raised OUR COST OF GOODS BY 25%. The same stupid thing he did his last time around!

Mexico is not the problem with Americans taking stupid drugs. \n\nThe problem is the greed that keeps Americans working like slaves. The bad nutrition that keeps Americans unhealthy. There was a study done on rats that if you give more sugar to rats they because dumber. Everything in most food products have a lot of added sugar. Guess who is hurting the American people first? \nWithout braincells Americans will do stupid things. You protect American people with good health and healthy products. \nStop selling prescription drugs as well teach the American people the truth. \nIf Americans were smart there would not be people buying stupid drugs from mexico.

Mark my words: mass deportations and tariffs are going to hurt us more than anyone. Trump’s antagonistic policies will not serve American in any way other than to keep us from moving forward. Drugs will continue to come in because demand won’t be solved. Inequality will increase because the poor will carry the expense of increased cost of goods. Infrastructure won’t get built and farms will lack labor because of lack of migration. People will remain undocumented because our immigration system sucks. Hateful people will become more hateful because they believed in lies and will seek a scapegoat.

Trump knows the trade war will hurt America. Trump's plans are simple: forcing us companies to build products in America, and Trump's tax cuts will help the businesses so they can start building factories and warehouses in America. That's one reason why many Americans voted for Trump.

The EU will be calling Canada and Mexico about trade deals quite soon. China is smiling too. Tarrif wars hurt Americans.

That can’t be good. Putting a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico could cause a lot of problems. First, they might fight back by adding their own tariffs on U.S. goods, which would hurt American farmers and businesses that sell products to those countries. It would also make things we buy, like cars and food, more expensive, which isn’t great for anyone.

Americans are about to be taught just how tariffs work.. this will only hurt America ?? and I’m not buying anything from America ?? as long as Trump is in Power!! FOT!

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

It is unfortunate that we are going to destroy NAFTA 2.0 with Canada and Mexico . Mexico has options, and the Chinese are already fulfilling México needs. China has already bought most of South America infrastructure 8n key countries isuch as Chile, Peru, Ecuador etc. Home prices are going to be up on new houses because most of our building woods and metals come from Canada. Furthermore, auto parts and building components for most household appliances are made in Mexico. This is going to hurt the American consumer and the poor.

These countries believe the weaker we are, the more life they can suck out of us. It’s wrong. They intentionally want to hurt us. Time for all of us to tighten our belts. They are poisoning us, they are poisoning our children. Allowing terrorists in. Allowing rapists in who rape and murder our daughters. Tariffs shouldn’t even be a question. The first question we should all ask before each Tarif should be, what’s the price of life? What’s the price of life for each innocent American they have “Indirectly” killed?

please don't compare us to Americans, it will hurt our feelings ?

Look at them crying like they're hurting and everything and they want to come and get our money the government money that belongs to the Americans it's all about everything for free they all look really healthy to me even after walking haven't seen anyone suffering yet

In response to the judging of immigrants. Interesting how we rarely see immigrants on our street corners asking for a handout. Instead they're at work making just barely enough to eventually have their own business in a few years. Latinos are a workforce and stimulate the economy because its a lot of hard work to maintain and sustain this country. Who's gonna do all that hard work when they're deported. Maybe our spoiled and privileged teens? All industries will suffer a void in their workforce causing products and service prices to increase. Billionaires like Corporations, Trump and Musk are the reason you are not doing well, not immigrants. Trumpism is fear, hate, blame and shame politics. Immigration has been a thing since a million years ago, and it will always exist. People migrate. Americans use 1,000 times the resources more than immigrants need. Immigrants don't even qualify to for well-fare assistance. When immigrants are gone and the borders are secured, who will be blamed next for America's problems. Instead of focusing on the greater good and progress for all Americans, Republicans can't help themselves to use their power to address their xenophobia, blame, hate without concern of who and what suffers, families of the working class suffer, and our economy, not billionaires. Mass change and reckless actions based on negative emotions and Ego based intentions of one man, is bad for everyone. Negative energy + negative actions amounts and results to nothing but negative consequences and repercussions. Trumpism is no bueno for America. His approach to fixing immigration will hurt and break America.

Deportation cannot hurt the economy, in fact it would provide jobs to the many Afro Americans who are citizens and have been shut out of the job market in the country.

The truth is American people already made their division so democrats need to listen to them instead of lecturing them. Our society needs immigrant but our society resource is limited, we can’t accommodate every illegal immigrate without hurting our own communities, especially when so many American citizens are struggling for affordable house and increasing living cost and so many legal immigrants are waiting in the queue many years waiting the government to process their case.

The American people were swindled by Trump. And he will hurt this economy. And we will deserve it for our stupidity.

People still don't realize the tanked economy that was handed over to Biden. Now Trump's going to do it again and several different Fashions to where he leaves this office 4 years later with such a f***** up economy and a f***** up deficit. That's too tanked economies handed over by Republicans to Democrats to where the Democrat had to eat it all and eat all the unjustified opinions from the American public and the Republican Party. The cruel strategy of the Republican party has hurt every American in this country for the past 15 years because they want power back so much that they'll hurt the previous administration and American citizens on purpose. It's on record

Deporting undocumented immigrants will cause many small businesses to struggle. Who will do the work that most people don’t want to do—like agricultural jobs, dishwashing, and lawn care? Undocumented immigrants contribute more to this country than many realize, and they also pay taxes through their purchases. Food prices will rise if we deport them because most Americans won’t take these jobs for low wages. If Americans take on these roles, they are likely to demand higher pay, which would increase costs across the board. In the end, we would be hurting ourselves and our finances. It’s already challenging enough, with many Americans living paycheck to paycheck. I believe that a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would be a serious mistake.

The illegal immigrant that contributes to society is not who Donald Trump is worried about. Donald Trump will get out the illegal immigrant that is a convicted felon the criminal out of our country. We don’t need them here to hurt our women our children. Donald Trump said he wants people to come into the country they need to come in legally but the criminal will pay Will be deported. And I am just confused. Why does the Democratic Party want illegal immigrants here on our streets hurting our American people someone makes sense to me. Why should we have them in America and I’m talking about the criminals not the hard-working illegal. immigrants I also have friends that came into this country legally, they worked very hard to get here. It’s not fair to them to have people into this country illegally it’s just not right.

He doesn’t understand the agricultural labor crisis. This will cause American farmers to suffer and face major crop losses because they won’t have the labor to harvest. That will hurt the farmers and the people who buy food at the store.

Americans first! Do you not see the people struggling and all you wanna talk about is how do we get everyone back to their country...umm how did they get here in masses in the first place?! And you're saying that this will hurt businesses? The people working illegal have no labor protection! Lady, you sound extremely ignorant rn.

This will make our food prices go up. Food will rot in the fields as no one will be around to pick them. Who going to make beds and clean hotel room including resorts. Who is going to mow your lawn and trim your trees? Who is going to clean your tables and wash your dishes in the restaurants? Who is going to pave the streets and roads etc. Our food prices will go up, and businesses will be hurt. Our Gross National Product will decline. Tariffs will increase the price we pay for clothes, shoes, etc. Inflation will rise, unemployment will rise, and we will be headed into a recession according to experts. Of course, the uneducated does not listen to experts, only Donald J. Trump. Worst American President in history. ☹☹

What they should do is hit pause on immigration. I believe they should grandfather in those who arrived prior to a specified year.\n\nI’m sure the majority is ok with immigration. JUST DO IT LEGALLY and for the gov to stop over extending our taxes and money. \n\nAmerica should come first. Americans have been put on the back burner while illegal immigrants get way more help which in turn hurts the very people who were born and raised here. We got people and children starving in this very country yet have a helping hand for those who don’t live here, came illegally or even like us. \n\nSo put the pause on and help Americans then help others. Other countries have stricter policies than we do and they’re thriving. and I believe don’t have as many issues as we do. \n\nAmerica leaders need to look into how other successful countries are running things and see how they can implement or improve on those.

Let the American people man the border. Bet not one gets in. You can fix stupid, but its gonna hurt.

There goes the u.s.economy,this why americans are hurting financially,
