Do you actually think he is planning to take the panama canal? I mean do you seriously think that? How would he do it? He wants something from panama. Likely to stop refugees from coming or help in stemming the flow of drugs. Could be anything. Its the typical trump playbook. Its almost laughable how you guys freak out over something that he isn't even capable of doing. He really does live in your heads rent free. He can literally just post something and your pearls get polished over and over.
So Trump is a man you can never take at his word, correct? I get it, he's all poker-style bluffing and bullshit, saying the most outrageous nonsense, to gain leverage in negotiations with the heads of state/government of other sovereign nations. Is a person with such characteristics a person you would want as President of the USA?

I would suggest that there is an adult way to negotiate with the leaders of other nations which doesn't involve being a shifty, two-faced asshole like Trump.

And in a way that hurts Americans when just doing nothing would be preferable.
Like his current tariff b.s.
 
I thought the Panama canal was outdated-can't carry modern super ships . Is that true?

I would agree that there are other ways to negotiate. That's not the way he does it. While not liking his method is certainly understandable, he should be judged by his effectiveness in the negotiation, not his style.
 

Of course it would be bad for government efficiency, but they don't really want government to be efficient. They're just going to do this to get more government workers to quit. The more workers they can drive out this way the less they'll have to actually fire. It's similar to what our state legislature is doing to teachers here in NC. Just refuse to give veteran teachers pay raises and gradually make conditions worse and worse by diverting more and more of the public school budget to vouchers and charters and so on, and then settle back and watch as fewer and fewer teachers enter the profession and veteran teachers take early retirement. The more miserable you can make workers, the more of them quit and the worse government services and public ed gets. It's a win-win for them.

Well, duh! You can't make money off public education, and you can't make public schools Christian schools.
