trump is demanding Panama returns the canal

Meghan McCain Says “Trump Is Right” About Proposal That’s “Very Personal”​

Meghan McCain, typically a vocal Trump critic, said he’s right about the United States taking control of the Panama Canal.

“Trump is right about the Panama Canal. This is very personal – my dad was born in the Panama Canal Zone,” McCain said.

Meghan McCain has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, refusing to vote for him in the 2024 election despite her Republican background. This is reflective of her father’s relationship with Trump, as John McCain frequently frustrated Trump’s legislative agenda while serving as a Senator for Arizona.

However, Meghan McCain’s support for Trump’s approach to the Panama Canal signifies a change in tone as the President-elect gears up for his return to the White House in January 2025.

On Saturday, Trump described the Panama Canal as a “complete rip-off” and demanded that Panama, which has controlled the waterway since 1999, lower tariffs on U.S. ships passing through the canal.

Trump also threatened that “we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question,” if his demands were not met. The Panamanian president,

José Raúl Mulino, responded by saying that “every square meter of the Panama Canal” would remain under Panamanian control.

I'mma be fine. I'mma be fine. I'm a middled aged white guy of some means.

Yes. You mention that on the board at least one a day. Leads us to believe you were actually fired from your job at the Post Office and you're currently living in your parent's basement.

So you guys want to be imperialists again.

Cool.

You want the Panama canal to be controlled by the Chinese?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Panama is way too important to be left to the CCPs control

You want the Panama canal to be controlled by the Chinese?

It’s not controlled by the Chinese you paranoid lunatics.

Trump really does control your brains. You guys just automatically believe the crazy shit that comes out of his mouth.

“It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama,” Trump said. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!”

Do you think it will happen before or after Mexico pays for the wall?

But seriously, does this sound like the ravings of a madman or a reasonable person to you?

We are gonna be a laughingstock again before he even takes office.

Forget “going to be”. You became the laughing stock of the entire world when Trump wasn’t arrested and jailed on January 7th.

The rest of the world wrote you off when you re-elected Trump.

You did this to yourselves. We’ve made our own trade deals.

You’d be surprised how little we care what happens to you this time. You refused to help yourselves when you should have.

Then Trump shouldn’t have cut off foreign aid to Panama and called them a “shithole country”. You don’t shit all over people and then ask them for a favour.

Trump hates Panama because they threw him out. Everyone who gets the better of Trump, is on his enemies list.

I voted for the other side every time, I can't accept responsibility for the idiocy of others.
