Panama is like Donnie's Very Own Ukraine!

It's the Vlad Envy that does it.

And hey, if Trump needs an excuse to Invade Panama, he can always send Elon down there.

For a legit claim that there's Nazis in Panama!

Is Vlad into role-play? He and Trump are going to do bad cop-good cop before Trump drops to all fours and gives him the best oral he can manage with that kisser of his?

He's not afraid of anything.

Except releasing his taxes or medical history.

"the parties will respect the current international legal regime"

That's hilarious coming from Russia.

Of all the reasons that might stop him from invading Panama, his need to------- Putin might actually keep him from doing it.

Isn't this charade adorable.

They're really being tough with each other!

Does Russia have a boat seaworthy enough to make it to and through the canal? Vlad's mega-yacht doesn't count--that's a secret...

Take it back. Americans never consented to giving it to Panama, just like we never consented to the corrupt senile Biden importing 15 million illegals. Time to do what is good for MOST Americans, not what thieving corrupt Democrats think they control amd what is good for destroying USA.

The Panama Canal belongs to, lessee now ... oh, right, Panama. Check out the Torrijos-Carter Treaties of 1977.

"Americans never consented to giving it to Panama, just like we never consented to the corrupt senile Biden importing 15 million illegals."

They sure did. Welcome to Democracy.

Americans consented by voting for the senators and representatives who voted for and the president who signed the treaty.

Just like Americans consented to allowing Trump to escape accountability for his many crimes. And they consented to four more years of the insanity of Mr Toads Wild Ride ver 2.0.

Like like the majority of voters who decided that the country needed to do away with Democratic leadership by electing Trump and giving him majorities in the house, senate and SC.
