Trump didn't explain how such a takeover would be possible, given that the U.S. relinquished control of the canal to Panama in 1999 under a treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977.
Still, Trump said, that, once his second term is underway, “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 the United States of America, in full, quickly and without question.”
“I’m not going to stand for it,” Trump said. “So to the officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly.”
Trump then took to his social media site to offer in response, “We’ll see about that!” He also posted a picture of a U.S. flag planted in the canal zone under the phrase, “Welcome to the United States Canal!”
Yo what the fuck. So he said it on truth aocial, then said all of the above during a speech today, and then went back to his social network for a follow up.

This entire thing is so fucked up.
A succinct and accurate summary of a trump presidency.
Four. More. Years of this bs. Ugh.
Hopefully just four.
It’ll be either four or a total failure of US democracy. He’ll be at his term limit.
