president stupid orang utan announces immediate 25% tariff on Colombia
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
Beating up the weak is the Hallmark of a bully. Beat up Columbia but not Mexico, who also denied a flight with deportees landing.
And I will not even mention little Denmark, a servile ally.
Sounds like the Colombian guy didn't think this was important enough to fight about...... This time.
But Trump is clearly going to keep doing this. And at some point, there's going to be some pushback.
Actually Colombia got what they wanted, refugees returned on civilian planes not military planes.
They had been allowing them to be returned before and only refused because trump used military planes.
Every subject is like this.
Trump’s calls with British leaders reportedly left staff crying from laughter
Trump has not yet spoken with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer since taking office on Monday

Hey, Colombia didn't fold.
It's on!!!
BREAKING: Columbian President Gustavo Petro just released the following condemnation of President Trump: "Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country
I don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period.
You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you.
I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas.
We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom...." --->>> Continued You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.
Part 2 of Gustavo Petro's statement: "They are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Colombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you.
In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. My land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.
You will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. I raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA,
Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness.
FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same."

UPDATE: Colombian president Petro has just ordered an increase of import tariffs on US goods in retaliation to similar order from President Trump.
This will hurt our farmers who export their produce to Columbia.
I don't know.
Colombia was accepting civilian planes, just rejecting military ones.
This seems like Trump failed to get his way but is spinning it as a victory.
Now, sending his own plane could be viewed as a peace offering for Trump's fragile ego, sure.
The cost of that was probably a lot less than the cost of tariffs.
The thing is, Trump's minions are going to view it as a victory because so many people (including the Trump people) spun it as Colombia rejecting all flights.
So therefore now they can trumpet that Trump's manly manly hardball won something significant.
The problem is, as you say, this approach requires near constant escalation.
And eventually that results in pushback.
The problem is that most places won't push back until too late, I think.
They are hoping Trump can be placated with some minor gestures when Trump will just view that as "Oh, I can do more".
The fact is that illegal Colombian migrants that did not meet the residential criteria under Biden were deported in a CIVIL MANNER as they are human beings!!
www.ctvnews.ca
Trump cannot think outside of the box..........what an idiot!!
But this will further screw up Trump's efforts to create trade surpluses, as this is a fact:
White House says Colombia agrees to take deported migrants after Trump tariff showdown
The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S. on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs on imports and other sanctions on the longtime U.S. partner.
www.ctvnews.ca
Trump cannot think outside of the box..........what an idiot!!
This is what they asked right from the start, but this is irrelevant to MAGA.
They want to print the headline that Trump won and made Colombia capitulate.
So far, we have lunatic threats to tariff Canada and Mexico - in breach of NAFTA.
Threats to take Panama and Greenland by force.
And now a tariff war with Colombia.
All heads of state are now phoning each other to make plans of how to fence in the mad bull. From here on in, the reactions are going to be planned and carefully supported by all the countries who are worried by Trump's bullshit.
Plus, let's talk about tariff-mania.
IIRC, Project 2025 wants income tax scrapped in favour of tariffs - because every billionaire player wants to pay tariffs not income tax. With income tax, there is an effort to ensure that each pays according to his / her income.
Tariffs are just charged on consumption. And sure, Peter Thiel consumes more than a starving welfare mother in the Bronx with 3 hungry kids; but not as much more as if he were paying income tax, not tariffs.
IIRC, Trump said he was going to fire income tax staff. And he's continually pumping tariffs in speeches.
Trump is going to fuck up the entire income tax system of the USA, to the point where it is no longer viable. And he's going to tariff every other fucking country in the world on almost any flimsy excuse. That's the plan, folks! And right now, Musk, Thiel, Soros and Zuckerberg are circle jerking each other's dicks about it. (Thiel is actually sticking a dildo up his ass because I suspect he's a Bottom. But that's beside the point.)
So I'm predicting 10 more tariff announcements in the next month or so.

As I’ve said, let’s hope someone in Canada has testicles big enough to deal with Trump.
No choice. It's like dealing with Hitler. You have no choice, but to fight.
Flowers as well. But hum I guess the new alpha masculine maga does not give flowers... hum that being they don't date either...
It has always been the wet dream of the asocial rich to replace income tax with consumption tax.
yes because Brazil is having difficulty with coffee production.
So in the end Colombia is paying for the flight to take illegals out of the US...I don't see what the problem is here.Lefties are going to go nuts for 4 years
Colombian leader quickly caves to Trump, offers presidential plane for deportation flights
Colombian President Gustavo Petro offered his presidential plane to repatriate migrants coming back from the U.S. on Sunday in response to stern warnings made by President Donald Trump.
The move came after Trump hit the South American country with retaliatory measures in response to Petro's refusal to accept deportation flights. A former member of the M-19, which was a Marxist guerrilla terrorist group that killed hundreds, Petro caved in to Trump's demands with remarkable speed.
In a statement translated from Spanish, the Colombian government said the plane will help facilitate a "dignified return."
"The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights," the translated statement read.
"This measure responds to the Government's commitment to guarantee decent conditions."
This weekend, American officials sent two flights of Colombian illegal aliens as part of Trump's ongoing deportation program. Petro rejected the flights, writing that the U.S. cannot "treat Colombian migrants as criminals."
"I deny the entry of American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory," Petro said. "The United States must establish a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them."
In response, Trump unleashed a slew of punishments, including ordering a 25% tariff on all goods coming into the U.S. from Colombia.
"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," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "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."

Looks like its all a misunderstanding.
Trump is sanctioning Columbia University, not the country Colombia.
