In a stunning turn of events that has conservatives scratching their heads, President Trump announced arrangements are being made for Colombian President Gustavo Petro to visit the White House following a phone call between the two leaders - just days after threatening the South American nation with military action.
The dramatic about-face comes after Colombia initially refused to accept deportation flights carrying criminal illegal aliens back to their homeland, prompting Trump to threaten severe consequences including potential military intervention. But now, apparently, it's all smiles and diplomatic handshakes.
Social media erupted with reactions to the news. One Twitter user posted: "Trump has said arrangements were being made for Colombia's Pres Gustavo to visit the White House, following a call between the two leaders, days after threatening Colombia with Military action."
But not all Trump supporters are buying into this sudden diplomatic détente. Conservative activist Rayme Treudeau fired off a warning shot on social media: "OH HELL NO! President Trump CANNOT, I mean, CANNOT visit with that guy & his friends mentioned in that video. NO WAY. He's gonna try to convert POTUS which is a threat!"
The concern among America First patriots is legitimate - why are we rolling out the welcome mat for a leftist leader who just defied our deportation efforts?
This whiplash-inducing policy pivot raises serious questions about the administration's negotiating strategy. While Trump's art of the deal approach has worked before, inviting a foreign leader who literally just told America "no" to our deportation flights sends mixed signals to other nations watching how far they can push the United States.
Meanwhile, the administration did announce some positive news today with the White House unveiling a new food pyramid that prioritizes real food and protein, marking another win for the Make America Healthy Again movement.
But patriots want answers: Is this Colombian invitation a masterful negotiation tactic, or are we rewarding bad behavior? The American people deserve to know what exactly Petro promised in that phone call to earn his golden ticket to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
