Trump Goes Full FAFO
The Daily Wire ^ | Jan 27, 2025 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 01/27/2025 4:13:13 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The time of a weak America is over. 

Over the weekend, President Trump was golfing when he decided it was time to teach the government of Colombia what would happen if they mess with him.

Colombia had announced that they were not going to accept planes filled with deportees, as the Trump administration had moved very quickly when it came into office to start arresting and deporting people who are criminal illegal immigrants.

That included many Colombian deportees. The president of Colombia stated — while President Trump was in the middle of a round of golf — that he would not accept any of those deportees. 

Trump took a quick break in his golf game and issued this statement:

I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures: 

-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

Realistically, Trump is only guaranteed a working majority untill the 2026 elections.

He doesn’t have a lot of time.

If he can complete his campaign promises before that election. MAGA might be able to buck the trend of the party in power losing seats

But he needs to go after it with hammer and tongs.

Happily, he seems pretty fond of hammers and tongs.

At this rate, two years of reform will be enough to remake the US government and make it the servant of the people instead of their enemy. Of course we know the ‘rats will not go down without a fight. So expect all manner of sabotage, and fabricated lawsuits for the pleasure of corrupt leftwing shyster judges. It won’t be a cakewalk.

Ah yes, FAFO.

Is it not beautiful to behold?

“Fool Around & Find Out” is preferable to the original version as it is less likely to offend decent-minded folks.

I’m sorry, it just cracks me up to think of Ben Shapiro saying “f___ around and find out” in that whiney nasal voice of his.

Besides, when did he become pro- Trump?
