Colombian president suggests he'll stop using Twitter after Trump meltdown

He's only been in office for a few days, but Donald Trump is already sending a very strong message that America will no longer be content being taken advantage of by other countries when it comes to issues like trade and immigration.

Liberals across the world are melting down already. Canada has sent multiple liberal leaders to America to beg Trump not to impose his proposed 25% tariff on goods from Canada.

Now, Colombia's far-left President Gustavo Petro has announced that he will stop using X, the website formerly known as Twitter, after causing a diplomatic crisis between Colombia and America by refusing to accept a deportation flight to his country.

Petro was furious over the deportation flight from America to his country. He ignored the fact that these people had not followed proper immigration laws when coming to America, and instead blamed the deportations on racism.

"I saw on Elon Musk’s Twitter — which I have to change platform — I saw that the whites, the Aryans in the United States were happy. Including Colombian Aryans, who are not so Aryan," Petro said. "They are happy because the riff raff is out, delinquents, they told them."

"We brought 42 children. How is Mr. Trump is going to tell 42 Colombian children that they are delinquents? In the same way that he says that to 42 children, he will say it to hundreds of thousands," Petro continued.

He added, "That is what they thought in 1933. Humanity and its wisdom had overcome that. Now it sounds like the effects of drug addiction in the Colombian press."

Comparing Trump's deportation efforts to the Nazi regime in Germany nearly 100 years ago has become a popular strategy of many liberals in America, so it makes sense that leftists outside of the country are latching onto the strategy as well.

Breitbart reports that Petro, "a proud former member of the Marxist M19 terrorist guerrilla and Colombia’s first leftist president ever, is an avid user of Twitter, where he often delivers long, unhinged rants that have become the center of several controversies:"

His most prominent posts include, but are not limited to, statements single-handedly eroding Colombia’s decades-long diplomatic ties with Israel, lamenting the ouster of former Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, and condemning Hispanic supporters of President Donald Trump.

It's unclear exactly what Petro thinks leaving Twitter will accomplish.

Perhaps Petro has just been so upset by what he's seen on Twitter that it will help his mental health to get off of the platform.

Regardless of whether Petro is on Twitter or not, constantly disagreeing with and criticizing Donald Trump isn't going to make his job as Colombia's president any easier.
