For Isabel Corro, Donald Trump’s suggestions that the US could use military force to take control of the Panama Canal evokes painful memories.
The 79-year-old vividly recalls rushing her children inside her apartment on 20 December 1989 as US army helicopters and fighter jets screamed over Panama City, turning buildings to piles of rubble with rockets and gunfire.
In Panama, where the scars of conflict with the US are still healing, Trump’s comments have provoked widespread anger.
The incident has strained relations with Panama’s government, which has said sovereignty over the canal is “non-negotiable” and accused Trump of lying about making an offer to buy it.
“The only hands operating the canal are Panamanian and that is how it is going to stay,” said the country’s foreign minister, Javier Martínez-Acha.
He hasn’t even taken office yet and we’re already full-speed-ahead to Stupidville. Headlines like this are a mere warm-up to the shit-show that’s brewing
Why? To distract.
Notice how no one is talking about the Republican infighting over Trump and Elon’s support for immigration?
Notice how the stupid cunts that voted for him because they can’t afford food, still can’t afford food?
The people who voted for him because they “couldn’t afford food” seem to still be financing giant ass trucks to commute to their office jobs…

Avocado toast doesn’t cost 50-70k + interest for years.
These people are signing up for an extra housing payment worth of car loan and then complaining about how much eggs cost.

I don’t get avocado. It tastes of nothing. Which, given how vibrant its color is, is always a disappointment. Don’t see why people rave over it
Because Trump wants to be like Putin and try to build an empire again.
There is going to be so much (more) disdain for the US by the end of the next 4+ years. I know its already building quickly in Canada
Trump is a moron and taking back the Panama Canal is a stupid idea, but comparing it to the 1989 invasion is also pretty dumb. 90% of Panamanians supported it.
yawn, yet another feeble attempt to make himself seem like some master negotiator. Just like Mexico paying for a wall that was never built. He wants attention, and doesn’t want you to think too hard about the incoming Jack Smith report. Or the million other horrendous/criminal things he’s done or is in the process of doing.
