Colombia refused two repatriation flights of illegal immigrants on Sunday, setting into motion one of the most savage actions by a U.S. president in recent memory.
In what he thought was a power move, President Gustavo Petro told President Donald Trump that he would not allow any more of his citizens to be returned until a protocol for the “dignified treatment” of “migrants” was established. Trump didn’t flinch, immediately announcing escalating tariffs and a complete shutdown of visas for those traveling from Colombia, including government officials.
With that promise of retaliation made, left-wingers immediately set to claim the results would be catastrophic. There would be no flowers for Valentine’s Day! Coffee prices would explode!
Imagine thinking that’s a persuasive argument. Let’s say what she said was true (it’s not really, given that we do not get “most” of our flowers from Colombia). No normal person would say, “We can’t deport violent illegal aliens because we might have to source our roses from somewhere else.” That’s something only a bubble-dweller who is paid to mouth off on television would ever suggest.
She wasn’t alone. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rick Wilson, and Harry Sisson also got in on the action.
Trump says what he means and means what he says! Promises made……….promises kept!!! That’s something we haven’t been used to for the last 4 years. Thank you, PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!
