Trump has hit the government of the Putin-loving socialist Gustavo Petro in Colombia with serious sanctions. This is so great, people. I had no idea action on immigration would be so swift and decisive.
This is not the first-term Trump. This is so much better.
Petro is a dumbass. US is Colombia’s largest trading partner and this will hurt Colombia’s economy a lot. He will either back down or he’ll be thrown out in the next election.

Remarkably efficient! I like it!
The headline I saw, said Petro was sending his own plane to start retrieving them 🙂

I remember when Gustavo Petro was slobbering over some nasty bastard who traveled to Ukraine in 2014 to fight on Russia’s side. Petro said that the bastard went to Ukraine as a revolutionary to fight against imperialism. The cynicism was off the charts. I’m so glad Trump is teaching him a lesson.

Won’t be able to fit anywhere near all of them on the presidential plane. But the comedy value…

–tickled pink by how fast we went from Mexico et all just looking the other way, like “oh, we couldn’t *possibly* do anything about this, we haven’t any resources to spare and is it really our problem?” to “Oh, please let us help you with those deportations!”
All along, the solution was to impose an economic cost on the country of origin, equal to or greater than the $$$ being wired home by illegals.

We kept hearing all this time that absolutely nothing could be done on immigration. It was this intractable, unavoidable problem. And now all of a sudden, it looks like there always was a whole arsenal of solutions. Fascinating how this works.

Seeing the humiliation of Gustavo Petro is a gift I thought I’d never receive.
He’s really terrible. I’m very glad he’s been taught a lesson.

My biggest fear was we’d get nothing on immigration. But we are seeing action from day 1. This is massive.

Strangely, I’m not finding anywhere in the media a suggestion that Petro, who has been openly celebrating Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since 2014 is a Russian spy. It’s really weird how that works b
