President Trump focused on the Southern Border from his first day. Within a week the president had troops on the border, made hundreds of arrests of criminals, and reimposed the “Remain in Mexico” policy for illegals trying to come over the border. Trump used military planes to fly back illegals from one country after the other. Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused to allow a plane to land in his country holding repatriated criminals that made their way to the streets of America.

Trump’s response was thunderous and the thunder traveled through the entire planet. Donald sent this message out from Truth Social:

I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!

When this message went out over Trump’s first weekend, every nation of the world heard him and realized how serious he was about securing America’s Border. There could be no doubt the safekeeping of the nation’s border integrity was now front and center. You could not escape the feeling the first week of the Trump Presidency, there was a new sheriff in town or Daddy’s home.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro not only backtracked after Trump’s threats but almost immediately offered his presidential plane to go pick the illegals up, I guess you could say Colombian’s President was politically cuckolded for the whole world to see and outed as the cockwomble he seems to be.
