Stock up on coffee. It’s grown in many places but this will give coffee makers a reason to raise the price.

President Trump isn’t F-ing around with these tin-pot 3rd world communists ... and what he’s doing to Columbia will be an excellent example for other tin-pot 3rd world countries thinking about doing the same thing ...

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said 'last year'....

" the United States should not treat Colombian migrants as criminals."....

Not happy his citizens transported on U.S. 'military' planes....would accept on domestic planes...(Dignity/repect issues...typical criminal response!)

Trump also has the statutory authority - under the Immigration and Nationality Act - to block all plane flights between the USA and Colombia, and to remove or deny entry to all persons traveling with Colombian passports or papers.

Columbia is messing around with the wrong guy. They are about to experience some significant economic pain — like never before as Trump is fond of saying.

Excellent. If Colombia still doesn’t cooperate, up the ante, Mr. President.

Petro condemned the practice, suggesting it treated migrants like criminals.


Uh, they are criminals .

Very dangerous and violent ones at that.

“Nice test case for the rest of the world not immediately at our Northern or Southern border.”

Yes, make Columbia the example of what’s in store for other uncooperative countries that think they can dump their trash in the U.S.
