Summary
Donald Trump criticized Panama Canal fees as “ridiculous” and demanded lower costs or the canal’s return to the US.
In a Truth Social post, Trump also expressed concern about potential Chinese influence over the waterway, despite no direct Chinese control of canal operations.
The canal, transferred to Panama in 1999, is vital for global trade, handling 5% of maritime traffic.
Trump’s comments follow record revenues of $5 billion announced by the Panama Canal Authority. Panama has not yet responded to his statements.
Just cut to the chase and invade Poland already you giant twat.
Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of the last time USA invaded Panama. We are all suffering from collective PTSD this weekend from that, and the events from such a traumatic event are still raw. And the Yankees decide today is the best day to threaten us with a second invasion?!
I’m not afraid… I’m angry.
If its any small consolation, the evil, lies, and idiocy built into our system are finally causing us to turn the violence inward toward the system itself, and increasingly toward Americans. History shows that its the nature of this sort of corrupt governance always turns inward on itself eventually. It just takes far, far too long, and there is no restorative justice at the end. And the cycle continues without learnings from our history.
I wish american citizens could give you something better than that, but we honestly don’t know how. From one human being to another, I’m sorry, and what happened to your people should not have happened.
At this point, I’m on board with a global trade war against the US. Build your stupid wall, surround yourselves with it and rot in the Maga stew you voted for. Come back out to talk to us when you’re ready.
Love watching this dumbass destroy the empire.
Reality continues to be more absurd than satire. I’m not sure how much more of this i can take.
