Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, January 26, 2025

President Trump's retaliatory 25% tariffs on Colombia may exacerbate an ongoing surge in coffee prices, one likely to leave Americans paying even more for their morning cup. Why it matters: Beans from Colombia make up 20% of U.S. coffee imports, and the only source larger, Brazil, is struggling with weak crops after a series of weather disasters.

American breakfasts suddenly risk getting a lot more expensive, even as Trump begins a new term with a promise to lower grocery prices.

You guys don't keep up with current events apparently, Columbia's President is now offering his Presidential Plane to bring the illegals back. Wild how that works right?

Based on what I've been reading it appears that Columbia has already capitulated. I guess we will see how that pans out.

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

LOL so true

Not sure. Sometimes I think that they're like sponges, without nervous systems.

Capitulated? Did Donald declare war?

MAGA is too stupid, Donald is too stupid, to see when he/they are being trolled.

Columbia is being sarcastic. Because MAGA didn't get the joke, Donald must be winning.

The Donald/MAGA stupidity is epic. Over the next several years, it will become legend.

Donald doesn't even know how to spell "Colombia". Even I wish that isn't true, but he proved it yesterday.

Happy extinction ----heads.

Columbia took 124 flights of deported immigrants last year.

In a statement late on Sunday, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said: "We have overcome the impasse with the U.S. government".

They'll continue to accept deportation flights.

It's MAGA Stupid, first and foremost, because it was so unnecessary.

What is it about you people that you need to kick the sh-- out of it, threaten to kick the sh-- out of it, fanatqasize abut kicking the sh-- out of it, lie about kicking the sh-- out of it before you do anything else?

This didn't work for George W., and that wasn't very long ago.

Donald is aching for a war. To prove something, first and foremost. Like MAGA as a whole. I think that they don't want to be seen as "pansies". By all evidence, they are very comfortable with "stupid".

By any common sense estimate, Donald's first week was a failure. An humiliation.

Worse things are coming. Donald and MAGA insist.

It worked for Trump. This lasted less than 5 holes of golf and Columbia folded.

"Folded"?

Was this a confrontation?

Of course it was. A flaming, stupid Donald confrontation towards a previously friendly country.

Not needed, counter-productive, enemy-producing confrontation.

It makes my point above, to wit:

Why, because now you will actually have to show you can work the fryolator to get a job instead of being hired because you think you're a kitten?

Never happened. In other words, a lie.

Part of the MAGA mythos, it's official system of lies.

In George W.'s time you were saying that FDR caused World War II.

The orange pedo responded to Putin's bounties on US troops by surrendering 3 American military bases to Russia. That was typical for the 300 lb gash famous for hiding in a bunker.

Oh boy, are you including your perks of free whoppers and fries during your smoke breaks? I voted for Trump because I don't need government help, you voted against him because you do. That's a fact.
