Cool, more tariffs to punish…us?
His base see it as him punishing Columbia and they'll later be surprised at how much some things cost and blame liberals for it.
You're behind the news. Colombia caved within minutes. No tariffs. The idea was to push them to take their citizens back, and it worked.
It was never about not accepting them. It was about them being treated with human dignity on the way there.
Once again the orange toddler throws a tantrum and gets his way.
His cult is right about one thing - he gets shit done. It's horrible shit, but he gets it done.
If you count spreading shit all over the walls getting stuff done then sure. Personally, I think he is just making a smelly mess.
Right now it seems he's getting anything he wants. (gestures at OP) I hope there's an end to that, but until then, yeah, I must angrily conclude, dude gets shit done. (Using the most reprehensible methods, and with shitty outcomes, but that's what his base voted for, so I'm quite sure they have few complaints right now.)
And I will keep pointing out that getting shit done is not fucking shit up and making things worse. That is just making a shitty mess.
I don't care for the opinions of his supporters mainly because they have no real opinions. One Trumper I ran into today said good thing Drump is a making Federal workers go back to work because they are waiting on their SSD determination.
You can't make this level of brain dead up.
