The American people voted to give President-elect Donald Trump the power to enact his campaign promises. Without ever setting foot in the Oval Office, he has already given a speech.
At one of President Trump’s closing rallies in North Carolina, he said: announced It is a promise to use tariffs as a tool to force violative countries like Mexico to stop illegal immigrants from entering our country.
Mexico intends to call his bluff in his second term, or run out the clock, or both.
Americans won’t be satisfied with paying 25% more for a product.
Nothing makes a politician more unpopular than high prices (see Biden).

“We’re being invaded by Mexico. But now Mexico has a new president…I hear she’s a very, very nice woman, I’ve never met her. And I’m on my first day or so. “I’m going to tell her that if we don’t stop the onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country sooner than later, we’re going to immediately impose a 25 percent tariff on everything they bring in.” promised. (Luke: Liberals may have been punished by God for what they did to a conservative judge’s wife)
He added that he believes his plan has a “100% chance of success,” but that if 25% tariffs don’t stop the influx of illegal immigrants, he will continue to raise taxes until that happens. Ta.
“If it doesn’t work, we’ll make it 50. If it doesn’t, we’ll make it 75. And then we’ll make it 100,” Trump said.

Like clockwork, Democrats in the administration’s media called his economic restrictions “insane” and criticized him for “clearly not understanding how tariffs work.”
“Donald Trump’s latest tariff announcement reaffirms what we already knew: He’s just making things up as he goes.” The New Republic I wrote.
Once again, it appears Trump is right and the media class is wrong. On the same day, Trump phone Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum large caravan The number of illegal immigrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border has been cut by about half.

Promising border crossers even told Reuters they were disappointed by Trump’s victory, as it would have been easier for them to enter the U.S. illegally had Vice President Kamala Harris won. . (Trump’s victory paves the way for 20 years of left-wing defeat)
Their phone calls were so thin that the Americans had little idea of what was actually said during the conversation. However, given how President Trump successfully used tariffs and other economic sanctions against other countries during his first term, we can assume that he was referring to the illegal immigration crisis and the threat of tariffs. .
Stopping economic and criminal activity that harms our country is exactly why Americans voted for him. We want strong borders and we want our elected officials to enforce immigration policy. For the past four years, while Americans have suffered, Presidents Biden and Harris have ignored our pleas for help.

First, they told us there was no crisis. And when the CNNs and MSNBCs of the world could no longer cover it up, they claimed it was the Republicans who were blocking the border closures. But it was too late for them. Americans saw the CBP app weaponized, allowing illegal immigrants to schedule their arrival. We saw a memo instructing Border Patrol agents to release them. Social media videos of buses and planes full of illegal immigrants flooded the country with enough information for Americans to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable.
If you think our broken border system only affects border towns, you’re wrong. last night, @seanhannity above @FoxNews We shared how a broken border system is creating a crisis in California’s Antelope Valley.

Our media class will push hard to downplay the effects of President Trump’s tariffs. Yet, in this situation, they are already saving Americans from the effects of the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous border policies. Trump’s victory is already paying off.
