Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and promises swift immigration action
Summary
Trump acknowledged he cannot guarantee that tariffs on trade partners like Mexico and Canada won’t raise prices for U.S. consumers, despite his earlier promises to curb inflation.
He plans swift actions on immigration, including ending birthright citizenship via executive order and implementing mass deportations.
Trump also suggested possible legal action against political opponents, including pardoning Jan. 6 rioters, while claiming no interest in revenge.
He expressed willingness to negotiate protections for Dreamers with Congress but maintained a hardline stance on family deportations.
His comments highlight a mix of contradictory statements.

He’s a fucking idiot. He is in way over his head, but he’ll be fine. It’s the country that will suffer. This incompetent motherfucker has been emboldened by sycophants all along. He was never a good businessman. He just played one on tv. He’s a rapist. He’s a racist. He’s surrounding himself with the same. I hope his health fails soon.
Do you really think JD Vance would be any better?
Vance has less charisma and would not have the staying power Trump has demonstrated.
Neither of them are the hand in the puppet. It would be nice not to hear trumps bullshit. Yes, it would be more bullshit, but different.
I hope his health fails too.
I have a suspicion Vance just hasn't met the right packet of silica gel.
You forgot to add russian asset.
He just knows you have to fight fire with fire so he's tackling inflation by raising prices
Don't forget trans!
I’m doing my part by existing in public spaces!

"Dreamers" are undocumented youths brought to the US by their guardian who are in education.

There are a whole bunch of caveats, including "good moral character".
I bet this is the "loophole". Dreamers are allowed, except when denied by "this certain bullshit Texas judge who judges everyone to fail the Good Moral Character test". Surprise surprise, that's where all cases of dreamers is held.
The chuds don't mind being screwed over as long as they feel the people they hate get screwed over harder.
As everyone knows, executive orders overrule the constitution. 👍👍👍
I know you're being sarcastic, but if the Supreme Court allows it to stand (I'm assuming those EOs will be challenged in court immediately), they basically do overrule the Constitution.
Then it's a GOOD THING our Judges CANT be Bought Bribed or Paid For! They work STRICTLY by the Constitution and NOT by who gives them Lavish Vacations!
Yeah, the prices aren't getting any better, but watch out Republicunt cubans in Miami, I hope you enjoy having no fucking electricity and going back to cuba.
