  1. Interpret this as Trump imposing 25% tax increase on Americans buying goods through Mexico I. Addition to the resulting inflations the next many years as suppliers realize this.

  3. Why is it that only woman have the fucking balls to stand up to trump?

  4. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a late night tweet Donnie. Border apprehensions down 75% in the last year! However guns into Mexico from the US has caused just as much violence down there as fentanyl has done here.

  5. Tackling the American opiate addiction problem would effectively address this problem. 

  7. The educated people in this country are well aware. The problem is we’re seemingly outnumbered now by the rich and the stupid

  8. The entire issue of “borders” in the US is meant to maintain the #racist and #bigoted base of Trump supporters. The reality is far different than the picture that Trump and his #dipshit supporters believe is happening. This is fearmongering politics at its worst and shows how issues like human migration is taken out of context by the dumbest people in #merikkka

  9. He wants to tank the economy before he takes office, blame it on Joe, and when it turns out to be a bluff, the economy would rebound and he would take credit for it. However, nobody takes him seriously anymore since he lies all the time.

  10. Food shortages and higher prices on food. That’s a Winning formula to bring down inflation? Trump does not understand the Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary “Tariffs” or he’s just pretending to be a tough guy. Not even in office and his agenda is already Failing.

  11. The Democrats are missing a great opportunity here. Trump was elected in large part to address the concerns about the border. And he’s outsourcing the job to Mexico. He too weak to fix the problem himself so he’s trying to bully someone else to do it for him.

    Show maga that the strong man they wanted is a simpering weakling.

  12. Maga people are just too dumb to understand what’s in store for America if he pulls this crap.

  13. Its not that trump has anything against Mexico and Canada, its that he is trying to isolate us from our connecting ally countries and ruin our trade with them, while with China I do believe, if I recall right, that Trump owes them tons of debt that he would like to renege on.

  15. However this plays out, Trump, like always, will spin the fault on Biden.

  16. But Mexico makes American products like cars and Mendoleza foods (Nabisco etc)

    The price of ores is going up !!

  17. MAGA has been a scam from the beginning. A bunch of grifting conmen determined that a certain uneducated white demographic in America are numerous and are really easy marks. Which, as it turns out, means that there are gullible assholes with a deep need to feel like they are more important than others who differ from them.

  18. Another lie is the USA hasn’t been deporting or sending migrants back by the millions since 2022. Only MAGA pushes the crossing but not what happens after they try and cross. Just that they tried to cross.

  19. Oh he’s not going to get along with Mexico’s female economist President. Smart women make him feel emasculated.

  20. So they get you to argue about this while they go on to screw you somewhere else. Change the narrative

  22. It amazes me how 40 years later, Regan speeches still work, blame immigration, fight against drugs, make America great again.

  23. It’s another scam just like the wall that Mexico was supposed to pay.

  24. What’s funny is that Trump even whispering ‘Tariff’ is going to cause higher prices because companies will use it as an excuse to raise their prices. The Tariffs don’t even have to actually exist anymore, the damage has begun.

  25. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I hope the rest of the world shits on us for four years. Free four years anybody, any gripe ya got, open season. Hold up weapons buys, jack up prices, lead paint on Mcfonalds toys, go wild because our president is a dipshit.Make being an American so unpaletable that these twats leave or rot from disease. Seriously, world, I’m tooting for you.

  26. So Mexico needs to impose 50% tariffs on us goods until we control the flood of firearms going into their country?

  27. So the article breaks down the ways Mexico has already taken effective steps to address the problem.

    100% certain Trump will tout this being a result of his tariff threat even though it predates that. His underinformed base will applaud him for it, as they always do.

  28. Trump understands, he just doesn’t care. He and his rich friends will be just fine.

  29. As if the Mexican president has any control over people fleeing the drug cartels and outlaws terrorizing them.

    If we as a country intend to adopt xenophobia, then we should return the Statue of Liberty to France.

  30. “Bank on it: The moment Trump takes office, the lower apprehension numbers will magically become real metrics.”

    This is exactly what will happen. 

  31. Shortly after Trump takes office he will declare that border crossings are down 75% from “sleepy joe’s” administration, claiming he did this all on his own.

  32. Because our supply chains are global, all this isolationism and tariff talk is literally going to strangle us. As in Mexico can decide to strangle our whole fucking economy if they wanted. 

    The CHIPs act and talk of on-shoring more of the electronics supply chain is meant to get to the same place – more American control of the industry – without strangling ourselves in the process. 

    Trump’s and MAGA’s revenge tour is going to beat the shit out of everyday Americans and serve up a fire sale of assets to people like Musk who can lose half their net worth and still be able to buy everything. 

  33. Wait till they realize how much produce we import from Mexico, trump hates Mexican people and this is a demonstration of his hate

  34. Normally I would think that some of the crazy shit that trump spews wouldn’t happen just like last time he was in but this time he isn’t appointing GWB retreads and competent people around him. He is appointing toadies and TV personalities who aren’t going to push back

    I think it could get messy this time

    I once again will be having the same sincere hope that I’ve had over the last few decades when the republicans put another dip shit in office. that hope is that hopefully their term will not include any pivotal or important times to have a steady had at the wheel

    My hopes have been dashed completely and horribly every time though

    Bush got 9/11 and put us into a multi trillion dollar multiple decade war that NEVER would have happened under Gore

    Trump got the pandemic and millions paid the price for him treating a health emergency as a political campaign

    Ironically if he had just followed the advice of the adults in the room he would have been seen as 10x more presidential and would have sailed EASILY to re-election in 2020

  35. I want Mexico to send a demand threatening tariffs on imports AND exports until the US stops the flow of guns into Mexico.

    One up Trump at his own game.

  36. If Trump slows fentanyl and heroine how is Kennedy supposed to function. His ~~addiction~~ condition apparently requires a reliable supply.

  38. Almost every single item of produce in my Pennsylvania grocery store is from Mexico. I can’t imagine adding 25% more to an already expensive price for fresh fruit. It’s hard enough to get Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables as it is – I’m predicting that Americans will become even more unhealthy as they eliminate expensive fruit and vegetables from their diets due to the tariff.

  39. Did you guys read the article? Please read the article before commenting once in a while.

    The Mexican President provided US stats to show crossings are down due to the work Mexico is doing. She is calling Trump out. Trump is bullshitting to make it look like his strong arm tactics ie tariffs are needed when they are not. He will pull out these same stats later as proof he solved ” the problem” when Biden is the one who actually has been creating bilateral solutions.

  40. If you look at conservative redit they think this js big brain move and these countries will now negotiate lol. How dense can they be to two of our biggest Allys

  43. Mexican President citing American Statistics to point out Trump lies..
