“If they don’t take ’em back, we’ll put sanctions on the countries, we’ll put tariffs on the countries,” Trump said. He added: “They’ll take ’em back so fast your head would spin.”
He’s also threatened to cut off aid to the countries, which include China and Sierra Leone.
Separately, Trump also threatened to cut off aid to counties that produce illegal drugs, saying they’re “not our friends.” …

If my neighbor dumps his garbage in my yard I sure as hell wouldn’t be paying him to clean up his own yard.

Should be no aid to China; cut them off. Also cut off India which refuses to to take back their citizens.

“Why do we give aid to China?”
SO annoying. Does it even go to the people?!

If my neighbor dumps his garbage in my yard I sure as hell wouldn’t be paying him to clean up his own yard. I've had bad neighbors dump garbage in my yards. I dump it back, but much worse. Their guests fling beer bottles in my yard? I pick them up and smash it at their front door. They get the message fast.
We need to take their human garbage, and make a very visible return of the garbage at their front door. Take them to the border at the point of guns, shove them across - hundreds if not thousands at a time. If not Mexico, then load them on barges and ground it off their shores, hundreds of deportees at a time. Then it's their problem, not ours.

“Don’t threaten. Just do it.”
This is President Trumps negotiating style.
“Take back the people we deport or we start taking stuff away from you.”
President Trump always leads with an offer everyone could live with, then starts taking things off the table as negotiations drag on.
It’s Trump 101.

This is a proper use of international aid. If you don’t help us, we won’t help you.
