A story in two acts:
Jan. 26th, 2025 05:14 pmThis is Donald Trump's address about how he's going to impose tariffs on Colombia (which he misspells as "Columbia") and the President of Colombia Gustavo Petro's response. I will try and get a transcription of it to put here, but for right now, here are the images.
( Donald Trump threatens Colombia with tariffs )
( Gustavo Petro responds. )
Now THIS is what a real leader sounds like. All respect to President Petro. I'm sorry this is happening, a lot of us voted to prevent it, and I wish more had taken the threat of another Trump regime seriously.
As for me, I went into full prepper mode and stocked up on coffee, rice and beans, in case Trump's tariff craziness causes food to become scarce as well.
EDIT: People are saying President Petro has "already caved," but I wonder if it's not more like him getting Colombian people out of the USA before Trump starts putting them in camps.
