There are moments in life to just savor. This is one of them.
Apparently, Colombia has refused repatriation flights of illegal aliens. President Trump responds forcefully, in what can only be described as epic, in part due to the timing of this. Colombia is the #1 exporter of long stem roses (and other flowers) to the USA. Valentines Day is about two weeks away. I love Trump!
President Trump (via 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! (Source)
Seriously folks, there could not be better timing.
This might be a little salty, but this is FAFO at an exponential level of winning.
“Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.“
Do you realize how important the export of Valentines Day flowers is to the Colombian flower industry, it’s huge. This is epic.
In the aviation industry, the contracts for overnight flower deliveries (Roses) from Colombia on/around Feb 8 to 12th are some of the biggest air cargo logistical operations reoccurring on an annual basis.
Bananas, Coffee and especially Flowers. lolol
“Rose Garden” …nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say-no-more, say-no-more!
When will these tin horn tyrants realize that they will NEVER outsmart or outmaneuver Donald Trump?
FAFO for sure!
Very revealing the caliber of migrants we have been importing, so great their own country refuses to accept them back.
Bec they spent a large amount of money sending them to the United States in the first place! As President Trump has said many times… They all emptied their prisons, jails and insane asylums, and sent them to America.
I thought these are criminals that were in their prisons who came and committed crimes here. How can the Columbian president babble on about their dignity when they cared nothing for our dignity sending their criminals to prey on us? If the criminals aren’t shackled we need to have much more staffing to protect our own and the jet. They should be paying us for all costs starting from when their criminals first stepped on our soil.
Please tell me that the world is sane and Columbia is seen for who they are sending criminals to us and bellyaching about their dignity.
LOLOL!!!!

People do not realize that this socialist/communist President of Colombia won the presidency by appealing to the poor and letting a whole bunch of poor and unskilled Venezuelans into the country, several million, to screw up the economy and undermine the skilled and educated citizens of Colombia. Sounds familiar?
America is a great source of wealth for us but also for the rest of the world! But our ruling elites have always felt guilty about it and would always roll over to the rest of the world’s outrageous demands on us no matter how damaging to the country!!! President Trump isn’t ashamed about America’s God given wealth and using it for the benefit of Americans first not last!! JMO
Guilty, as in 10% for the Big Guy? That’s the only type of guilt they know.
yes, stellar response
Send him a small naval flotilla with 10,000 of our illegals and just drop them all off in his beach. Bye.
Or as Greg Gutfeld suggested: “Deport them before the plane lands.”
Yep, strap parachutes on them and push them out of plane.
They should just make them walk. They walked through Mexico to get here, and Mexico made no effort to stop them. Now they can walk back through Mexico, and it will be Mexico’s problem, as it should have been all along. No need for expensive plane rides or for permission from communists to take them back. Just kick them out through the southern border. And that long walk might make them think twice about coming back.
I wonder what El Presidente’s plane will look like when it returns…something about knife tears in leather seats much?
FAFO.
🌹
Gosh it feels good to have a sharp, aware, decisive, strong President!
FAFO!
Happy Valentines Day!
V is for…
Columbia caved. He’s sending his presidential plane to pick them up from the US.
Epic!!
The moronic leftists in my area are still complaining about price increases that will never happen. It’s called leverage. You can never learn ’em anything. The permanent zombies.

All that is for show. The Columbian people don’t care for Petro. He was machine elected.
It would be funny if they don’t let them land.
He’s being nice. That’s what should terrify Columbia.
I’m a big fan of just airdropping illegals into the country of origin. I’m sure we can figure out how to do that safely.
Parachutes with working rip cords over water.
Add inflatables. They cost about $320 each. Easy.
Water wings from the kids’ section of the Dollar Store. $2 or thereabouts per swimmer.
LOL!!!!
Ever see those C130’s having loaded pallets pulled out the back by chutes on a drop zone…..
It’s called static line drops. Thats what U.S. Paratroopers did for decades so the men didn’t have to worry about pulling a ripcord.
Ask RAH. He’s an expert on this b/c he did it!
Plywood gliders.
It was good enough for our soldiers in WWII.
Couple weeks in quarantine should guarantee the safety of the flowers.
Winning!!!!!
Bud light roses from Columbia.
‘Colombia’s Petro Backs Down: Sending Personal Plane to Pick Up Migrants After Trump Announced Sanctions’

Wow.
Escalation incoming?

The Gulf of America is that gulf between South America and North America, right?
Godfather meme.
Reminds me of the scene in one of the Godfathers when the corrupt Nevada Senator tells Michael Corleone that he doesn’t like him or Italians, and he doesn’t want to be associated with him, and that if there isn’t a big bribe on his desk tomorrow morning, Michael’s gambling license is dead. He would wait for Michael’s answer in the form of that bribe. Michael says I’ll give you my answer now. You will personally pay the license fee and support my license. Ultimately, he did. The Presidente is sending his personal plane to pick up his citizens.
🤣 Well that was fast..
ABC Nightly News reports Colombia threatened by Trump over not taking its’ people back.
And that’s where the “report” stops.
ABC failing to report that Colombia has agreed to take its’ people back.
ABC= Marxist propaganda nozzle.
They can scream all they want. The truth is the truth and Columbia bowed.

B Bull
C Crap
“Paper Roses” Lovely song
Here ya go:
The singer of this song, the great Anita Bryant, died recently.
The media hated her for her sense of morality, but she was a great woman.
IMO it gets BETTER
—> BAN-the-RETURN of every incoming Cargo Plane carrying Colombian Flowers
… UNTIL DHS CERTIFIES it’s LOADED with ILLEGAL-ALIEN Colombians for the return flight!
Swift, decisive, strong leadership… President Trump is demonstrating what was hoped for in voting for him. A true natural leader.
God bless the man who keeps serving our country so well…
Coffee drinkers, start your engines!

I’ll sacrifice if need be and drink tea, preferably tea from Argentina. Oh wait… I think I might start doing that anyway.

La Jefa going to use a single plane to retrieve them? Try again.
La Jefa going to double the tariff to 50% against the US. Bad idea.
Carnations for my Valentine!
Finally. A president that knows how to use soft power. It’s such a wonderful sight to see. 😀
Flower Power!
I am really tired of these sh*thole countries, and it appears that President Trump feels the same. I don’t think it will take long for the word to get around. Throw Biden on one of those planes and send him along as well. He can provide the Colombian president with some advice on implementing totalitarianism.
He doesn’t play.
IMHO….sending his own plane can also be an ‘in your face’ response implying without words…that he considers his ‘citizen’ deportees worthy of more than some run of the mill American C-130.
A C-130 is a perfectly good airplane for our servicemen. It’s good enough for deportees getting a “free” ride home.
Should consider themselves lucky they are not given a parachute and kicked out the back.
Trump will let him save face, but when necessary, the C130s will be landing.
“Where the banana grows, man is sensual and cruel”. Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Two months ago, Erik Prince basically outlined his suggestions for dealing with nations that balk at taking back their people who are being deported. He proposed travel bans, problems with visas, de-SWIFTing, trouble with banking if in this country illegally , — pretty much what Trump has put forward but without the tariffs.
In the case of Venezuela, Prince also wanted to stop Chevron and Sargeant from their engagements with that country’s oil sector.
Daily Mail Headline paraphrased: Colombia caves to Trump tariff threat as its own leader uses his plane to repatriate migrants.
How many trips?
Boycott all things Colombian! The new Bud Light. No roses, no Colombian coffee, no other coca products, etc!
There needs to be a Like and LMAO button somewhere on these posts.
And the President of Columbia fights back and makes false claims about PDJT:
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1883630789725937943
Yes, you can live in your people – the ones we’re sending back.
Amazing, sanctions that are NOT being deployed against us, but for us. Revolutionary. America first.
I guess El Presidente thought President Trump didn’t work on Sunday’s- WRONG!!!
The decline of West Coast flower farming, especially in California, is a direct result of unfair trade practices and globalization that favored countries like Colombia. Starting in the 1970s, Colombia flooded the U.S. market with cheap flowers, thanks to their low labor costs and favorable climate, while American growers were left struggling to compete. Trade deals like NAFTA made it even easier for foreign flowers to dominate, putting hardworking American farmers out of business. This is yet another example of how bad trade policies have hurt U.S. industries and jobs. Hope these tariffs bring back the thriving flower industry that once bloomed on the West Coast
Flowers? California needs the water to save smelt. Altho California is still the land of Fruits and Nuts. None grow on trees anymore. They sit behind desks in Sacramento.
I would love to see California return to being a prosperous non welfare state with smart water distribution and management. IMO Carmel, Monterey, Big Sur, Pebble Beach-just exquisite landscape. I want all of the US to be amazing.
Also mismanaged water.
Ya learn something new everyday, especially at the Treehouse. I really never knew that long-stem roses came from Columbia. Perfect timing DJT! Keep going Mr President….dont let these people take a breath! And , get some rest Donald…..you deserve a break
Look up the Valentine’s Day flower delivery from Colombia. It is a lot more than long-stem roses.
It is unbelievable.
All of the flowers in your grocery store and Walmart come from Colombia. The climate allows them to grow flowers year-round.
I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.
Looks like Gustavo Petro and his rose businesses just found out that if you mess with the bull, well, you get the thorn…….
This didn’t even last a full news cycle. Colombia backed off.
apparently, Colombia has not backed off completely:
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1883630789725937943
Petro sounds like a Bantam rooster flapping his wings and making some noise. Just bravado.
Surely China returns their Colombian migrants not as criminals but with full dignity!
I suspect the Greenlanders are viewing it positively, if it’s even news there. The Danes, not so much. But they’re going to come around as they are pragmatists and money always talks
The Danes are stupid. They have now decided they are committed by a past agreement to give England first right of refusal if they decide to sell.
As I stated when this came up, the Greenlanders will vote to join the US and the Danes will get nothing.
I wonder when The City decided that for them?
I would like to take a moment to thank President Gustavo Petro for volunteering to allow President Trump to turn him into an early object lesson for the rest of the world. /s
I am eternally thankful that I have lived long enough to see this man return to the Presidency. He has done more in four days than Biden and Congress have done in four years. He is only one man, but he is a force for good to be reckoned with by the malignant Washington DC empowered leftist scum. I pray for his and his family’s safety as I watch him destroy evil and make this world a better place for everyone. His appointments have been stellar. This term in office looks so different than 2016. He has come, from day one, to take the fight to the enemy……
During the CBS News break during the AFCCC they reported that the Colombian President not only cared, he offered to fly his own plane to the USA to assist.
The CBS teleprompter readers looked like shell shocked survivors of an artillery bombardment who just found dog poop in their half-eaten bowl of chili.
Very many flower refrigiration and distribution companies in South Florida.
And yes, much much “cafesito” coffee too $$$$.
Word… many productive generational landowners practically
been having to vacate their lands and move to safer places due
to the rampant hostility against their families/friends and their
possesions since Duque was “replaced” by this Petro guy.
Pa-Pow
Epic.. lol..
I think we need to have a thread where we do each PDJT day for that month in a meme. Don Valdez is Day 6. Come on Sundance, it would be lighthearted and fun!
Don Valdez Day 6.5
I made this image the Lock Screen wallpaper on my iPad today! 🇺🇸😎😂
This is a cool brew.
I can see a new coffee perkulating.
I can smell the columbian don valdez select roasted beans soaked in tobasco sauce out in the sun.
Let me pour you a cup PDV.
😉
Everyone in cahoots with the Cartels has got to be Big Mad about all the illegal revenue flowing back and forth over our border coming to a grinding halt 1/20@ 12:01 pm. The Cartels surely made record profits under Biden, and how many of Biden’s cronies were also on the take? The gravy train is over. All they have is their flowers and coffee now.
Where is the tiny violin?
