Mexicans know how to be poor, so US tariffs are not as terrifying to them as they are to Canadians.


Not terrifying to Mexicans or Canadians, seeing as the tariffs are paid by the US importers and then ultimately by the US consumer.

The average US consumers (70 million of them Trump voters) are the ones who will become poorer.


Canadian exporters would be hurt immediately. US consumers have the choice not to buy Canadian.

The clincher will only be where US consumers have no choice but to buy Canadian or Mexican.

You are not reading Trump well here, Trump does not start where he expects to finish. You have to find what he wants to make a deal.

Some peoples don't prostitute their dignity for a deal... something Trump is not calibrated to comprehend.


Oh come on, we have evolved. There is no rule book or requirements other than just get the job done.

Trump's tough-guy image requires visuals... A mass influx of more immigrants... that is not the visual he's looking for.

I'm sure action like that will increase the powers available to Trump. If someone takes on Trump remember they all lose. Everyone now rely on Trump for security. Every time the UK say something dumb about Trump the more they embolden their own enemies.  Mexico need to understand they are fighting the guy fighting for them.

That's the image Trump wants to project, for sure...

What accelerated Trudeau's demise was that he had no political cache to stand up to Trump's threats. He looked weak which embarrassed the Canadian government and opposition... Trump took advantage of Trudeau's political dead-man-walking with his taunts of annexing Canada as the 51st state...

Mexico has long been aware of US imperialism and its tactics and has stood up to US intimidations before, where other nations have not.

Australia is a prime example of a country that has a bilateral policy of never saying no to a US president.

Trump is different though, more crafty. I noticed that Denmark have offered Trump anything he would like in greenland, new base no problem but sorry we dont want to sell.
Would not be surprised if the navy wanted a base in Greenland and Trump has said just watch and I'll have them begging you to put a base there. Wanted a base went for the whole island settled on a base.

He is hard to read and will have you tied up like a pretzel. Anyway Mexico will lands where Trump has planned.

Colombian President Loses Game of Chicken with Trump, Offers to Fly Back Illegals on His Own Plane 6 Minutes Later

President Donald Trump is not the man to play a game of chicken with.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro learned that lesson Sunday in short order after choosing to test the newly re-elected U.S. leader's resolve.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/colombian-president-loses-game-of-chicken-w...


The Leftards will insist Trump doesn't know how Tariffs work.

The Colombian president was spotted holding hands with a man dressed as a woman, despite being married.

What appeared to be political weakness by the Colombian President, was more likely political manoeuvring.

Had the Colombian president just acceded to the US unilateral decision to deport and repatriate Colombian citizens, he would have been subject to ridicule, perceptions of weakness and possibly accusations of having been bribed by the Trump Administration.

Having Trump threatening to impose punishing tariffs and sanctions on Colombia and Colombians, gave Colombians a clear picture of the options.

It also focused the heat of anger from Colombians onto the deportees who have brought disrepute to their country, and therefore will not be perceived as innocents - even if, under Colombian law, they are.

Finally, the Colombian president got to look compassionate towards Colombian citizens - innocent under Colombian law- by offering his presidential plane to assist in their repatriation.

You're no Trump man, Gordon.

You should try Colombia, dear. The tourism's to die for. Read your Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Love in the time of cholera, innit. Better for a man to die on his feet than live on his knees, no?

Yes, Master....

Ah. But do you know?

No country should prevent the repatriation of citizens. The right to citizenship is a basic universal human right.

Countries that prevent the return of citizens are violating the UNDHR. We'd never do it. Scomo tried briefly during covid and our High Court wasn't too happy.

That's bullshit

When Obama and Biden were Presidents they blocked runways didn't allow planes carrying illegals back home to land.

Trump threatened to stop financial aid in his first term they took the illegals back.

They were used to dealing with pissweak leftards Trump threatened tariffs so they caved and took the illegals back.

Trump has shown the rest of the world these illegals can be deported if your leader has a backbone.

Oh look, I'm wrong. Silly old Karnal, eh?

Quote:
In announcing his earlier rejection of migrant repatriation flights, Mr Petro denounced the US' handling of deportees "as criminals" along with a news video of migrants reportedly deported to Brazil walking on a tarmac with their hands and feet restrained.

"A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves," Mr Petro said.

"That is why I returned the US military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants."

He also added that his country would receive Colombians in "civilian air planes" and "without treatment like criminals".

Colombia had accepted 475 deportation flights from the United States between 2020 and 2024 — including 124 last year — putting the country fifth in total behind Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, according to Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that tracks flight data.


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-27/donald-trump-sanctions-colombia-over-depo...

Turns out Colombia wasn't rejecting repatriation at all, just the manner in which they come.

When you're wrong, you're wrong.

Suck it up, leftards.
