Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
This is just so perfect.
Not too long ago, we told you President Donald Trump dropped the HAMMER on Colombia after their president, Gustavo Petro, refused flights full of Colombian nationals being deported from the U.S.
Those sanctions include a 25% tariff, travel bans and visa revocations, and enhanced customs and borders inspections.
And they got results, according to CNN:
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: Colombia now offers its own presidential plane to take illegal alien deportees from the USA - CNN. Trump had announced economic and diplomatic retaliation after Colombia refused to take them.
Promises made, promises kept.
Helvidius Priscus (@HelvidiusPrisc) ~ Before Democrats could even cry about Trump's tariffs, the Colombians caved. I CANNOT TAKE ALL OF THIS WINNING!
GILES (@gilescollecting) ~ This is what strong leadership looks like. This took all of 1 whole hour. LOL!
How quickly the tables turned.
Dabney (@DabneyPorte) ~ Well. Well. Well. That took less than an hour on a Sunday. Trump is Making America GREAT again!
This is leadership.
And here it is from the Colombian government itself:
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ Well, there it is. Colombia caves to Trump - will take the illegal migrants back. After Trump threatens tariffs and other sanctions. Trump is such a masterclass. He said in 2024 - tariffs are not just an economic tool, but a diplomatic tool. They can be leveraged. We are leveraging them NOW.

It sure is.
