    I'll start. Now he is demanding that Panama return the Panama Canal

    it is vital to our defense that it be properly maintained and operated and we can't trust them brown people to do that so they must give it back

    'We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned': Trump issues threat to local officials

    "We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned," Donald Trump declared over the weekend.

    Trump on Saturday took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to issue a threat to local Panama officials about the famous Panama Canal.

    "The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America’s Economy and National Security. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports," Trump wrote, adding that "Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade."

    "When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else. It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage," Trump added. "Our Navy and Commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way. The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S. This complete 'rip-off' of our Country will immediately stop."

    I’ll give him credit; he’s quite creative. He invents a new unique grievance as easy as breathing.

    Well, at least it's a more material argument than Greenland.

    As far as national security, I remember when the handoff occurred. Talking heads in the DoD stated that in the event of an actual war, we could easily take it back in a pinch.
