  1. Does President Musk approve of all this posturing by Trump?

  2. Why does anybody even react to VP Trump’s distracting from his latest budget fiasco?

  4. >*…Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings has long managed two ports located on the Caribbean and Pacific entrances to the canal.*

    They operate these ports since 1997, and recently got an extension on the contract. They also operate ports in the UK, Netherlands, South Korea, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Australia, Spain…

    Truth is that US companies aren’t very interested in investing in Latin America, that’s why they’re losing influence to Chine, and threatening with an invasion won’t change that.

  5. This clown has no bottom. Insults every country in the World, even his own. Dementia Don needs a retirement home. Crazy fawk.

  6. Trump isn’t the president yet but one could be fooled by the way everyone is already acting like he is.

  7. The primary Tesla materials likely shipped through the Panama Canal are raw materials for their battery packs, including lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are often sourced from South America and need to be transported to Tesla’s manufacturing facilities in the United States or Europe via ocean freight, making the Panama Canal a crucial route.

  8. Trump keeps threatening people it’s gonna be the world vs the US and we won’t win that.

  10. Wait for the “who knew” moment like every other time he’s talked shit about something he knows nothing about which is just about everything.

  11. It’s because Panama is after Trump’s business there for backed taxes, so he has to punish them now.

  12. Great idea. Let’s just wage war with the entire world. Everyone “owes us” something.

  13. Fucking Trump just acting like Putin. Thinking he should be able to take over countries on his own whim.

  14. Could America please take your old gramps back to their old folks home please? Signed – The World.

  15. Does anyone else remember that during his first reign, Trump said the Panama canall is in Costa Rica?

  16. It’s so embarrassing this is his one and only strategy and his loyal boot sucking fans will gobble it up as it destroys any lasting goodwill he had left with allies.

  18. Why is the Vice-President talking about taking the canal?

  19. Does Trump know that the Vice President doesn’t hold any power?

  21. Has he verbally attacked Lichtenstein yet? Better remind him, you wouldn’t want to be left out 😂

  22. Trump needs to concentrate on not shitting himself every 5 mins, rather than threatening other countries.

  23. Pretty bad when you have to tell world leaders not to feed the troll.

  24. UK and Ireland should seize trump’s money laundering golf courses.

  27. Trump just wants to privatize the canal and skim profits for himself.

  28. He isn’t even acting President yet and he’s about to be starting wars

  29. I can’t believe we are going to have four more years of this crap from a convicted felon

  30. He just so wants to be like his mentor Putin and just start invading our neighbors.

  31. What’s weird about this is that Panama is clearly not going to give up the canal. So the only way to make this happen would be a full scale invasion. If that really did happen it seems likely Panama would blow up the canal rather than lose it.

    I guess his supporters think he is playing 4d chess but it’s not it’s just absolutely ridiculous nonsense. It’s worse even than expecting Mexico to pay for the wall.

  32. Think about it. Half the country voted for the dumbest man alive. Where’s my bong?

  33. Wasn’t a big policy of his and the reason pole vote for him that he would stay out of other countries business?

  34. I swear Elon and Donny spend their evenings getting into jammies swinging thier teeny little dongles and crackling about how smrt they are.

  36. The Darién Gap is in Panama too. Control trade through the canal and prevent migration into North America in one step. It’s not like the US hasn’t run Panama before.

  37. Aaah, I love the smell of batshit insanity in the morning.

  38. His insane comments are just a way to push sensational headlines above those that showcase his kleptocratic administrtion
