Summary

Donald Trump criticized Panama Canal fees as “ridiculous” and demanded lower costs or the canal’s return to the US.

In a Truth Social post, Trump also expressed concern about potential Chinese influence over the waterway, despite no direct Chinese control of canal operations.

The canal, transferred to Panama in 1999, is vital for global trade, handling 5% of maritime traffic.

Trump’s comments follow record revenues of $5 billion announced by the Panama Canal Authority. Panama has not yet responded to his statements.

I think it's time to start blocking news about US politics.

Would recommend it. Much better than having your brain rot away at a massively increased pace for the next four years.

Burying your head in the sand is technically a strategy

Out of all the things I posted, that I thought you were replying to, I thought you were replying to my post that smith & wesson was about to benefit massively from the brain drain that the USA is about to experience over the next 4 years. With the implication of my joke being suicide. Then I read you reccomending it, and I full on belly laughed until I realized you were replying to a completely different comment. I thought you were going even more dark joke than I was......and I was STARTING the bar at suicide. I was like "GOD DAMN!!! This dude is even more depraved than I am! I love it!"

And for anyone out there getting worried......I mean........

.....yeah, I don't have a comfortable end to that sentence. This world is getting dark. The next 4 years are going to be bad. Real bad.
