You only pay a tariff if you are a dumba**. Tariffs divert demand unless you don’t know how to shop around.

Trump is the biggest Hypocrite in America!\nThis is a guy who’s merchandise, that he sells to his cult followers mainly comes from China, NOT THE US! Is he going to put a tariff on the crap he imported! Of course not!\nHis own daughter, in his first term, on an official visit to China, negotiated HUNDREDS of trademarks with CCP officials, whilst being an advisor of daddy’s administration! Which netted her and Jared millions of dollars in profits! Talk about republicans being massive HYPOCRITES, they should’ve investigated her! But the GOP have all become LICKSPITTLES, AND RING KISSERS to their Dear Leader!

The US has over a $100 billion deficit with mexico....our tariffs would hurt them quite a bit more.

He’s a crazy guy who has a terrible tariff plan.

God I hope Trump goes ahead and imposes all those tariffs. Unfortunately, that’s the only way those idiots will learn that Trump only cares about him and his billionaire friends.

for those that don't understand tariffs. If I currently import a t-shirt from Mexico for 10.00 and sell it in the US for 15.00, I make 5 dollars in profit which I use to pay my staff and keep my business running. When Trump puts a 25% tariff on that t-shirt, it now costs me 12.50.You think I am going to eat 2.50 per t-shirt. No, I'm now going to charge you, the consumer, 17.50 for the same t-shirt because my cost of doing business has not gone down. You all really need to do some research and understand tariffs. I'm not moving my business to the US. I'm still getting the same amount of money for my products. The US consumer is footing the bill....

If Trump does tariffs on Mexico we are F’d! Thanks to all the maga morons! I wonder how much of his supporters will support him once we feel the consequences of his policies. Deport millions of illegals-good luck with that! ??? show! Let’s see who wants to work American agriculture! Maybe Trump and his family? Followers? ???

There are no tariffs that will stop the drug problem in the USA! They are also made in the USA by the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry and other nefarious individuals, ever watch Breaking Bad Donnie those labs are everywhere, defunding the DEA is not going to help the situation, defunding education isn't going to help ! Stop the problem at home also!!!

Trump doesn't care about the results of his tariffs. He wll blame the destructive results on someone else. He is just eladed to know that he will not be held accountable and doesn't have to go to prison. He will spend his presidency golfing and attending rallies to get his dose of endorphins from his MAGA sycophants.

China currently has tariffs on over 105 billion dollars of U.S. goods.

Tariffs are a tool just like cnn

everyone knows that addiction and homelessness started because we did not have tariffs on mexico and canada

If CNN thinks tariffs from Mexico is a threat to the United States CNN is stupid

Tariffs used to fund tax cuts for eich on the backs of thier workers ...wonder why 80 percent of the deugs coming in are from IS citizens in thier own vehicles....LoL

Mexica helps China get around American taxes and tariffs already in effect..

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..

Hi everyone, Trump is trying to isolate us globally as a Russian asset would do. Of course Mexico, Canda, China, Europe, and other countries will simply work together to weaken the impact of US tariffs and target American exporters for particularly harsh tariffs. Everyone outside of Fox News warned the Trump supporters, but they chose the Russian asset

This tariff is about stopping illegals, put 25% on and they will stop any migration going thru mexico

She has China building EVs in Mexico. She wants to make money from China and Cartel drug sales. And now, the USA taxpayers to feed illegals. No thanks. I will pay tariffs.

. Like watching a blind chimp trying to flying a passenger jet.... Messing with tariffs is a STUPID idea. Isn't inflation enough??

I guess there is comfort in the fact, if the tariffs go through, Trump Bible, Trump Watches, Shoes ... etc that are manufactured in China, will become more expensive ... so, there's that ...

To The Mexican president, stop the madness at the border, then we will talk about tariffs.

If Mexico don't want to pay tariffs then they need to control their Southern border because everybody comes through Mexico they're doing absolutely nothing to stop it

Trump is about to get some lessons in how the country & the world has changed. He is gonna start off pissing of Mexico & Canada who've always been friends of the U.S .. how dumb & all over these ridiculous tariffs

mexico and canada should join BRICS if those tariff goes through

Well, crack down on their borders stop allowing people to break into America control their drug trade or get tariffs.

Tariff wars! ?

No. 2 is illegal migration, not tariffs

Canada should also impose their own tariffs on American goods and services, and restrict access for Americans to cross the Border for work or trade or tourism. See how long those American Tariffs will last.

this is literally just a negotiating tactic of imposing tariffs to get the border countries to stop the flow of immigration and drugs/cartel gang activity from there own side and for them to pay for it with there own money while we do what is needed on our side of border and then there will be no tariffs imposed on Mexico or Canada if you can't see this then you shouldn't be concerning yourself with politics or business as it will be too much for you to understand

Canada Mexico was simply put tariffs on everything imported by the US, and it's going to be hilarious to watch Trump voters suffer because they're just going to pay skyrocketing prices

Democrats just can’t understand what good trump tariffs will do. They have to be shown instead of told

His threat of tariffs never had anything to do with the issues this guy mentioned…. \n\nHad nothing to do with the border issue.

Mexico should begin restricting US Citizens access to Mexico, and Mexican Workers crossing the Border to engage in work in the US. See how long America will impose tariffs when they can't get labor for their companies that depend on the cross border workers to do their business. And American Tourists can't engage in their trips to Cancun etc,

A train wreck is coming down the tracks. Tariffs will increase the cost of living in the US because the cost of paying it will come out our own pockets, not the foreign countries. They will only pass that cost onto us by reversed tariffs against the US. This proposal will only hurt the world economy and alienate our closest trading partners. We are now going to be ripped off by our own government.

Coffee, chocolate, palm oil, bananas and much of our produce that comes from Mexico and S.America will increase in price if Trump puts tariffs on Mexico.

Tariffs! Trump‘s get rich quick scheme ??? He’s a con man, this is Conman behavior

What product did Maxico sell to China and that they keep on buying their goods? Punish them.\nDid they actually think China will buy their goods? She has loud mouth so shut her mouth up with Tariffs with their goods maybe China buy their Mexican goods ????.\nDid they think Chinese will buy their full grow cow and transport it China which is hundreds of miles away?

Mexican can’t go Tariff 4 Tariff with the USA ?? ?.. They will collapse plus all there people are coming to America to Work… Companies will leave Mexico ?? and built in USA to avoid Tariffs

This is hilarious. I cannot wait to see what she says when the tariffs get placed. 800 X!

Homan and Miller don't plan to deport anyone. They plan to put them in work camps. We haven't seen anything yet when it comes to Trump's sociopathy. Hang on, America. Annnnnnddd...of course, Trump's business investments can get tariff exclusions. ?

Equation is simple. Stop the flow of undocumented immigrants and illegal drugs into the US. Secure the border. Fight the cartels. The drug issue is a shared responsibility and Mexico needs to step up. 75000 americans die from drug overdoses every year. Tariffs are a means to end the fentanyl epidemic

Put 200% Tariffs on them they'll crawl in the mud for sure?????. What will they trade with other south American countries?Of course they'll trade with Nicolas ??????.

The biggest junky in the world isn't going to get weaned off drugs by imposing tariffs.

Oh, Mexico will respond in kind??????. Let see Mexico. There is a reason why Chinese economic stop growing after Trump Tariffs which Biden kept.

Maga Morons are so Stupid. They are under the belief that Tariffs are paid by the exporters. Nope. Tariffs are paid by the importers, by you when you buy items that have tariffs on them. Your tariffs items taxes will paid by you.?

This is interesting! If you take Economics 101 you will find that tariffs are not paid by another country but are passed down to the consumer(s). Is Trump's thinking that if products cost more from Mexico that Americans will buy products from someone else? And in this case most products come in from elsewhere so the U.S. consumer will be paying hire prices on what we purchase. America does not manufacture a lot of our products anymore. Trump has 1950's economic views.

Here’s an idea USA returns to a prime industrial nation that’s what made it the best country in the world in the first place. Trump has many flaws when it comes to tariffs but maybe the balance is that return to producing in the country.

So the real story is, Trump is already doing what he promised to do. Other news outlets are reporting,,,Breaking News... Mexican President reveals caravans no longer arriving at US Border amid Tariff threat. Trump for the win,,,,AGAIN

Many of these Mexican suppliers are USA companies. The tariffs will be paid by Americans, to the American government on goods sold in America. It’s a tax increase, usually on lower income earners- as we know wealthy people won’t notice
