As a regular American, I don't want the Panama Canal, I want good health care.

[checkeredflagfilms]

buckle up people! 4 years of this monumental SS!

[cprettyred]

He’s got a lot of nerve talking about somebody ripping us off. He’s the main culprit grifting his expensive bullsh!t a$$ products! 🤨

[dongillihan]

He didn't threaten he got exactly what he wanted America is in control of the Panama canal as it should be we paid for it 👍

[KennethKestner]

This is stupid he shouldn't be saying it now so everybody can prepare. He should have just waited until we were ready to do something

[Tab]

So he's gonna kick around countries he owes money to?

[mitchellschaff]

If Trump said "everyone from north dakota has to move to south dakota" the press would believe it. THE PRESS IS SO STUPID.

[jrclark]

Jimmy Carter never should have handed over the Panama Canal anyway.

[DaveCM]

How exactly is he going to do that? Is he going to send in Marines and take it by force?

[snipman]

Everyone criticizing this clearly has a problem thinking beyond 20 seconds into the future.

[Kerfew]

I was ripped off by a convicted traitorous criminal

[adventureseeker]

Uh huh and the toddler also apparently wants to make Canada the 51rst state.
_Absolute_ _Loon!_

[Sandrab]

I really wish he'd keep these ideas close to his chest until January 20th! Don’t spill the beans too soon.

[jall]

Then England can reclaim the U. S. again. That would be great.

[TiffanyLadue]

So he has started by threatening Panama, Canada and Denmark. And people wonder why the world hates us

[strangeperson]

I believe the entire South America should become United States as well. It would be terrific for everyone.
There is no need to come to the US. The US will come to you, bringing freedom, prosperity, and security for all.

[DamienS]

What a moron. But then again he is catering to the crowd that supported him "fixing" the economy with tariffs & deportations.

[sylviaseri]

FYI Don-old, we leased the Panama Canal. We never owned it! He’s such a buffoon!

[carlosca]

They criticized Russia for attacking Ukraine but USA attacking other countries is ok. 2 wrong doesn’t make one right

[mikeglenn]

I don't understand this, but that's why I'm not in charge.
