What a predictable ignorant ham-fisted clod - another international embarrassment, just another day.

Bold of Colombia to do that. I hope other South American countries follow (though we know Argentina would gladly take them).

The guy is so simple that he only knows the word tariff - doesn't understand the word, but he knows how to say it

Apparently Colombia doesn’t mind repatriating people. They just objected to them being sent back in hand cuffs

Likely trump admin knew this and the whole tariffs thing was spectacle

Honestly I hope every country just refuses to do any business with the United States until he is removed from power

Dumb move by trump. Soon other countries will follow Colombia's wise decision. So when all countries start turning away trump planes, he can't tarriff everyone and impose travel bans everywhere. Those countries won't take his shit and will trade elsewhere. So trump will turn America into Russia soon, with almost no trade or travel allowed.

It’s a good thing Americans don’t drink much coffee.
