He didn't quite stick the landing on his "destroy the US empire" speedrun last term, but he wasn't idle over the last 4 years and has come out the gate with a strong strategy this time around!
How does this destroy the US empire? It worked, Colombia caved within minutes.
Not by itself, but it’s representative of his overreaction to every little perceived slight against him. Correct me if I’m wrong; it’s standard to send and receive civilian planes for returning migrants. Colombia does not want its citizens being treated like criminals, detained aboard military aircraft. US media is declaring victory for Trump on a technicality. If this is all it takes for him to completely fill his diaper, he’s going to drone strike the first country to follow through with retaliatory tariffs.
They are criminals, because they were here illegally. It would be different if they were legal migrants, but they're not.
And it wasn't an overreaction, it was a warning, meant to bend Colombia's will. And it worked, immediately.
hopefully we can convince him to send you to the bottom of the ocean or something
