Donald Trump is now officially the 47th President of the United States of America

[Moe87]

I think it may have been the threat of retaliatory tariffs that scared the government as much as anything, Colombia imports a ton of petroleum products from the US.

Yes, it looks like advisors warned Gustavo Petro to not undermine nor mess with the US, so it could affect Petro's election next year. There are a lot of Colombians are living in the US.

However, outlook is not good for the US and if the US decide go hardball, so it could end up being counterproductive, and it will affect all future admins. That is kinda like Biden have to deal with China after frosty relationship under first term of Trump Admin.

As for me, I prefer to force the Congress to resolve the issue with immigration, so they are responsible for fix the laws if it is not executed well. The US immigration law has been broken for many decades, also last major revision was in 1980s.

Loads of illegals were flown in by the Biden admin in secret flights on military planes, you weren't complaining then were you. No we never heard a peep from you when it was Biden, but now Trump is getting rid of these criminals on the same planes you decided to pipe up.

Wonder why Trump is bragging about it so much if he's just doing the same thing Biden did.

He loves to take credit for what others have done, its part of his fragile ego and being a compulsive liar. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fact-checking-what-trump-has-taken-credit-for/

I can imagine someone with an IQ about room temperature thinking what Trump is doing and what Biden did are the same.

Trump is getting rid of illegals, Biden was letting them in, indeed he was even supplying a free "taxi" service and bringing them in on secret flights. There's a big difference. But you know, orange man bad an all that. Grrrr Trump.

Oh, my mistake. Your post was only one word away from being close to reality and I must have missed it, I thought you were aware of how deportations were higher under Biden than Trump's first term or something and were comparing the two.

Thanks for clarifying that you're actually talking about how Biden was secretly importing unvetted illegal immigrants to swing votes. I do feel the need to point out that it wasn't secret, they weren't unvetted, they weren't illegal, and they weren't able to vote, but other than that you've got it correct, people were entering the country to obtain work visas. Scary stuff

As for orange man bad, surely blindly believing everything he makes up is an equally ridiculous position? So much of what he says is provably false and it just gets regurgitated anyway. Alternative bloody facts.

Look at that. Your last sentence was correct. There were zero wars, and peace talks signed under Trump. Low inflation and a really good economy. The last 4 years have been a fucking dumpster fire with wars everywhere and people making less than 6 figures struggling to buy groceries. Trump's team helped get the Israel/Gaza cease-fire days before he was even sworn back in.

let's go point by point
- saying there were zero wars is ridiculous, trump massively expanded drone warfare even over the warmonger bastard obama, whereas biden massively reduced it and actually got the united states out of afghanistan, something trump said he'd do, but didn't
- do... do you think the president controls inflation? like it's a dial in the oval office and biden just turned it up, cackling at his evil? the world kind of changed circa. 2020, dummy. biden didn't do shit
- you're dumb as shit if you think trump got that ceasefire. biden's team was continually open about how they were trying to get the ceasefire before trump got in and they succeeded. you can argue that biden is a fuckhead for allowing it to go on as long as he could to deny trump the ceasefire, but you can't say that trump did it, don't be ridiculous

Isn't it kind of ironic, a convicted felon and sex offender wants to blame immigrants for all of our crime problems.

Cartels don't mess with tourists, it's not beneficial for them (As is the case for a lot of the organized crime).
If you do your normal thing like most tourists you will be fine

Neither does the Mafia, they do shit behind close doors

If you want your children safe, go after priests.

I'll report any and all houses with MAGA paraphernalia.

MAGA are far more likely to be harmful to children than illegal immigrants. They don't care about the future for the next generation, only themselves.

Agreed.

Republicans have a serious sexual assault issue across the board. Many of the documents instances in the above link involved children.

Hmm... 50/50 tbh, I would say they are less explosive with foreign citizens. Depends on the organization tbh
