Get ready for coffee prices to soar under Trump, too -- Colombian Tariffs Coming

He’s deporting them, and now Columbia is paying for the deportation flights from the US to Columbia. Sounds like Trump won to me.

 

I mean, there’s a few things missing.

At the very start of the timeline apparently Colombia agreed to accept the flights initially but then refused once they were in the air.

More importantly, you left out Colombia’s president getting on Twitter and incoherently ranting about how he has the blood of Sacco and Vanzetti, and how black people and Latinos shouldn’t get into street fights in DC, and how Donald Trump will kill him, and that America is opposed to Simon Bolivar, and that he thinks the U.S. is boring.

 

Things you sort of expect to hear from the President of a corrupt narco state.

What’s our excuse?

 

Ha. I’m sure you are aware Trump has threatened Brazil with 100% tariffs. Even better for coffee prices than threatening Columbia.

Of course, you could probably put the names of all 190 or whatever nations in a hat and it would take quite awhile to draw one that wasn’t threatened with tariffs.

 

Yeah, that sounds horribly unpresidential. He didn't even bring up Arnold Palmer's junk or sharks.

 

He also forgot Corn Pop, but he probably sniffs kids.

 

Where I go I can drink unlimited amounts of coffee for hours for a grand total of roughly $2. A small temporary increase in coffee price is a small price to pay for giving notice to South and Central America that they better take back the illegals

 

This is another Henny Penny thread that is premature and unnecessary. From Colombian-born Senator Bernie Moreno :

“We’ve had a great relationship with Colombia for decades — the current administration notwithstanding,” he continued. “So, what we do is we notify the country, ‘Hey, we’ve got these two military aircraft coming in. They have illegal migrant criminals on board. We’re going to land at such and such a time.’… So, permission was granted by the government. This is the one fact you will not hear the mainstream media report. The Colombian government had given those planes permission to land.”

“And, literally in the middle of the night, the president of Colombia decided he was going to retract that permission because he didn’t like that the criminal aliens were in shackles. How else would you transport criminals, by the way? You wouldn’t put them on first class and feed them a nice meal because you could have a rebellion on the plane,” Moreno added.

“So, [Petro] turned the plane around and thought he was dealing with Joe Biden, and the reality is the Biden year is over,” Moreno said. “So, Trump did, well, if you’re going to be like that, here’s what we’re going to do to you. The [Colombian] president then tried to one-up President Trump and said, ‘Well, I’m going to send my presidential plane.’ Of course, think about that for a second. These are criminals, and they are not nice people. But, at the end of the day, with the threat of sanctions and tariffs, we got to where we needed to be, which is by the way, the Constitutional obligation of the president of Colombia, which is to accept any repatriated Colombian citizens; and they’ve agreed, of course, carte blanche to accept all of their citizens back.”

** I will note that many of the illegals we have in this country had to come through Colombia and the Darian Gap. If Colombia were to deny repatriation, I can promise I would not be worried about tariffs on their coffee. We import coffee from all around the world. Colombia would suffer if Americans were not drinking their coffee. Their market share would shrink considerably. I don't think coffee was so much a worry as the floral contracts that could have been wiped out right before Valentine's Day.

This entire situation shows you that the past administration didn't care about you. They cared about votes. Not to difficult sending these criminals back to their original countries and protecting the border.

 

So Trump got a couple planeloads of illegal immigrants out? Amazing!

And to think - some people said his whole litany of lies about deporting 12-13 million illegal immigrants was all just performative theater. Nope!!! Gettin' a few hundred out per day. Winning!
