Tariffs won’t curb the demand for drugs.

Democrats should be all in on tariffs? Who will it hurt? Not consumers because of competition! The company will have to eat the tariffs or go belly up!!!

Is he going to charge tariffs to the cartels? Or maybe like he said, bring the manufacturing Companies here, American made, no more buying from other countries! Why doesn’t he offer that to the cartels and have them manufacture their drugs here?

only Mexico's drugs wouldn't have tariff

Turns out the rest of the world can also implement tariffs on the US, and the US alone.

Mexico is aiding and abetting this invasion by issuing temporary travel visas to migrants to cross through their country to the US border. If they overstay the temporary visa, they are deported from Mexico. What Trump should do is tell the Mexican leader to take back these 20 million that they let in, and after they do this, the 25% tariff will be lifted. Then once they take the 20 million back into Mexico, we should drop the 25% tariff and up the tariff to 50% to recoup the money we wasted on the illegals. They play dirty with us, so skrew em.

Who cares if they put a tariff on us? We are a consumer nation. Stuff coming in, not really going out.

Mexican President is 100% right. All these years thanks to cooperation we could nearly solve the illegal immigration problem bring it down to few millions each year . If we put tariff on Mexican goods that might make Mexico very angry and disrupt the sending immigrants.

Trump isn’t very Intelligent and acts like a Mobster. He doesn’t have any Critical Thinking Skills as he runs like a Wild Bull on the Plaines. Believing he’ll get kick backs on one or all of these so called Tariffs. It’s no different than what he did his first administration with many donations (kickbacks) from World Leaders! All of which weren’t reported and only recently documented. What’s happening in this new coming Administration will look like the biggest HEIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, with the replacement of every government employee with (YES) Employees. Trump’s in debt for 2 Billion after the Election; so he’ll have to get his money back through every course possible! Which will lead to every American being put in the Poor House during his time in Office. People will have to remember his comments demeaning every American as losers as he Raises Taxes and Product Inflation go through the roof, while the wealthiest live TaX Free again within his Second Administration! “Sometimes in Life, you can’t see the Forest for the Trees.” It’s harder to see the TRUTH, by the amount of the LIES!???

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 .”

Of course domestic businesses are getting the tariffs bills - it's an import tax, it will raise business costs and retail prices domestically - why don't people get it?

Why aren’t the news agencies talking about how China has moved thousands of containers of raw materials to Mexico to have manufactured into the products affected by tRump’s prior tariffs, thereby circumventing those tariffs!!

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.

Do these idiots not know he put tariffs in place the first time, Joe never removed any of them, but he added onto them and made some of his own.

please keep lying to the american ppl cnn.. midterms are in the bag for us, 2028 in the bag, supreme ct... in the bag... yeah the US is so scared of Mexico lmao. mexico is going to place tariffs on us? are you really that dumb

The ball is in her court, either stop illegal immigrants or pay tariffs.

Trump is using tariffs as a bargaining chip to reinstate the stay in Mexico policy Biden abandoned in his first day in office The results speak for themselves

China has positioned itself not to be so reliable on U.S trade, instead looking at other trade partners as a replacement. So, the fact that Biden kept the tariffs in place really did not matter much.

I like how she got the audacity to say she will counter tariff the US.

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

I like presidents that understand what a tariff is

Mexico should respond with a 50% tariff on ALL US junk. Daniel from Abroad.

Trump is an idiot and he's going to tank the Midwest red States producing farm products. Those farming red states export to those countries that trump will tariff and those countries are going to set their own tariffs on the US imported products including farm produce, auto goods etc. But hey they voted the idiot in and now they get what they get. ?

this orange monkey is going to tariff everyone who will in turn tariff us back. it's lose-lose for everyone, revenues down for all.

I'm old. You know how I know that for sure? I remember Laugh-in and I keep hearing Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me. Tariff's arent' going to strengthen our trade negotiations with China. Quite the opposite. They'll just cut a better import deal with other countries. And it's not COUNTRIES that are ripping us off - it's CORPORATIONS. Trump wants you to believe it is countries so he can give tax cuts to corporations and dumb people won't know how badly that is screwing us over. It's like 'Over here is the REAL evil', not over there! Trust me! I'm your protector!!'

Don't believe the lies and propaganda from CNN. The threat of tariff's worked before and it will work again.

Mexico gonna pay for the tariffs???

I HOPE HE PUTS TARIFFS ON MEXICO.... HES ABOUT TO LEARN HOW MEXICO NOT GOING TO GIVE AN F ABOUT MIGRANTS AND DRUGS ,,YOU THINK IS BAD NOW ... WAIT UNTIL THEY REALLY STOP GIVING A SH....

Tariffs don't solve the illegal drug consumption in the United States neither stops the flow of weapons from the US to the cartels.

79% of the people want something that can’t happen; the President, any president, has no direct control over retail prices. Increasing tariffs though will raise prices and drive inflation. People think Trump is president so food and fuel will return to pre-COVID levels; it isn’t going to happen.

I’m confused on how higher tariffs will mean lower prices why don’t politicians explain that

Don’t forget, this lady is Jewish and knows a thing or two about economy. Trump can’t push her around like he has done with others, also, he does not understand that the majority of Mexicans back her up and are willing to make sacrifices to not let the USA push Mexico around. These trumps threats could backfire really bad and we will pay for it for sure, just wait, if inflation is bad and you have to pay 40k-50k for a base model car with these tariffs the middle class won’t be able to afford a 100k car anymore and we all will have to rent cars now. And forget about having savings and been able to own a home. This will mark the end of this country…mark my words.

With Don-da-Con picking up on his dumbass tariff wars along with mass deportation will drastically sink our economy faster than his first term. This is part of isolating America.

I’d love to say “I can’t believe MAGA didn’t understand how tariffs work.” but ?

Trump didn’t stop the war within 24hrs if he was elected has promise and he will not deport anyone, he doesn’t understand how tariffs work. He’s all mouth, just talk talk that’s all.

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

Am I wrong? How can trump cut inflation when tariffs only increase the cost of consumer goods. Did he learn this at Whartons School? hmmm...

Maybe the tariff will reshape Mexico's willingness to help us stop the illegals from coming over the border.

All these morons thought this idiot was going to lower prices of food, goods, and gas. Good luck with that. \nHis first day in office he is going to put huge tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. \nThis in turn will make prices go UP considerably, Simple math Trump could never understand. \nOh, and wait until there is NO ONE to work the fields . Vegetables and fruit will be sky high. \nUnbelievably, this is what people voted for

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!

The tariff wars are coming. This should be interesting. It's like the beginning of the 19th century when tariff wars accelerated us into the Great Depression. The Great Depression was in 1929. We are 5 years away from 2029. It's like history repeats itself.

I own a metal supply company Sac welding supply if you need fencing you better order now before it's 100% more expensive due to increasing tariffs

Trade wars and tariffs mean high inflation and damage supply chains. Trump perhaps skipped economics 101!

At least someone understands what a tariff is!

The end result of all those new tariffs is you the American people will pay those tariffs & you wanted this idiot running the country. Especially when you want cheaper prices.?

It hasn't dawned on Dumpy yet that tariffs work both ways, and US consumers will complain loudly and quickly!

Tariffs ya ok, you don't think that Mexico and Canada will raise the price of goods to compensate? Not a good idea imo.

Worth it to me to save lives and make Mexico step up to control drugs from entering from their side of the border. If Mexican leadership acts, the tariff increase goes away. It's that simple. Mexico is already responding.

Trump’s Truth containing the Tariff threats appears off Truth Social?!

Oh Canada is getting 25% tariffs and China 10% ??? Right Canada is so dangerous, give me a break.
