Panama v Trump

[okfine]

Panama. It's on Trump's mind.

Maybe because one of his billionaire buddies needs something for a project concerning the canal, or the fact that Trump stiffed someone in Panama. So far what's being reported is it's the latter. Trump chumped out. Didn't pay taxes on a property there.

"In 2019, the owners of a Panama City hotel tower that was previously managed and operated under the Trump brand, accused Trump Panama Hotel Management LLC and Trump International Hotels Management LLC, of not paying the required 12.5 percent taxes to the Panamanian government. Instead, the lawsuit alleges, the companies simply kept the money, “intentionally evading taxes” and leaving the new owner liable for millions"

"A tax audit of the hotels submitted as evidence found massive inconsistencies. The case is still pending in New York District Court"

I'm sure we all will be hearing more about this in the future.

The newrepublic? Is that like Tass or Pravda? If its in court in NY I'm sure its Lawfare, stay tuned.

If Trump did not pay it we know it was not Trump's bill.

Taxes owed are always addressed in escrow by lawyers. Sounds like the new owners do not like the terms that their lawyers approved

Yeah...but how does stormy daniels fit in?

That Trump property was a well known spot for money laundering.

The Peanut man gave away access to the Canal with some dumb assed treaty that cancelled a Teddy Roosevelt treaty. Trump wants to put America first especially in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe the drug fueled crooked Panamanian government can extort China but the U.S. won't be a patsy for this stuff anymore. USA,USA

Panama declined to oblige Trump. So now what? Are you prepared to go to war over this bullshit?

Part of the "immigrant highway" goes right through Panama. No matter what happens with the canal, Trump has the Panamanians' President full attention. That is how STRONG MESSAGING WORKS.

Do government educated lefties really think that "going to war" is the only way to put America first? Trump already won and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet. Jan 20 can't come soon enough.

Sure thing, bucko. Sure thing.

It has something to do with money. Not for you and not for me. One of these days you'll figure it out. In the meantime, quit making shit up.

How has your Trumpy already won on this issue. Panama said no. End of story.

Trump is reminding Panama that the U.S. is interested in what is going on with the Canal, and Trump is willing to make their life uncomfortable to get the situation resolved. This is how negotiation works. I wouldn't expect you Leftists to understand.
