Donald Trump has demanded that the Panama Canal be given back to the US if Panama did not manage the waterway in a fashion that was acceptable to him – and he accused the central American country of charging excessive rates for use of the ocean-connecting ship passage.
“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the US,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Saturday, a little more than a month before the start of his second US presidency. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop….”
I suggest England take back America, just so Donald can feel how annoying backsies can be.
I wonder what would happen if the UK tried that. Would they become one state, or would England/Scotland/Wales all be different states?
New new york has a not great ring to it
Old New York
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Call it New Boston and then dump some tea in the harbor!
The Mohawk doesn’t need to get any cloudier
especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the US
Like fomenting a revolution and then securing a deal for a canal with the new leaders.
Yeah, exactly, they got a country out of it.
Not that having one of the world’s most important trade routes has helped the people of Panama, mind you.
This guy is really trying piss everyone he can off. I guess he didn’t think the first three assassination plots were serious. He’s gonna have a lot more people coming after him soon.

We went from “speak softly and carry a big stick” to “yell incoherently and my hands have trouble holding a water bottle”.
Mexico is just as pissed at Guatemalan and Venezuelan migrants as the USA, is not more so.
Remember that Mexico has had such a booming economy that net-migrants are emigrating (leaving US) and returning to Mexico for ~the last decade or so.
That’s what’s so stupid about Trump’s plan vs Biden plan. Biden was working on building Mexico’s southern border to help stop migrants, helping both of our countries. Trump on the other hand is too stupid to figure out this simple solution.
