In a series of social media statements on Christmas Day, President-elect Donald Trump attacked Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal, implying that the United States could seize control of all three.
Trump began the lengthy post by greeting everyone a Merry Christmas, especially the amazing Chinese soldiers who are lovingly but illegally running the Panama Canal, on his Truth Social platform.
The United States “puts in Billions of Dollars in repair money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about anything,” he said, alluding to the American lives lost during the canal’s construction more than a century ago.
Trump then made fun of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him “the governor,” and reiterated his suggestion that Canada may become the 51st state to join the US.
He stated that “if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.”
Trump went on to speak to the people of Greenland, who want the United States to be there for national security reasons, and who said, “We will!”
In a different post, Trump claimed that he had urged retired NHL player Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister of Canada, but that Gretzky had shown no interest.
Along with sending season’s greetings to the radical left lunatics, Trump also made fun of President Joe Biden in his posts on Wednesday, calling him a man who has no idea what he is doing.
The posts expand on a number of remarks made by Trump in the past several weeks.
Trump recently criticized the costs Panama charges to use the Panama Canal and implied that his administration could take control of it.
The United States participated in the construction of the vital shipping route in the early 1900s and maintained authority over it until 1977, when it signed a deal to eventually cede sovereignty to Panama. Up until 1999, when Panama assumed complete administration of the canal in accordance with the agreement, the two nations operated it jointly.
Trump claimed he would choose Kevin Marino Cabrera as the U.S. ambassador to Panama, which he accused of defrauding us on the Panama Canal, exceeding their expectations in a formal announcement made by his presidential transition team on Wednesday.
Cabrera is a member of the Miami-Dade International Trade Consortium and the Miami-Dade County Commission.
During his first term, Trum applauded the plan to purchase Denmark’s Greenland. However, this week, when he announced his desire to nominate Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark, he demonstrated new interest in the subject.
This week, Mte Egede, the prime minister of Greenland, reacted negatively to Trump’s remarks regarding his nation.
Regarding Canada, Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on the nation and made fun of Trudeau as its governor in recent weeks. In the past, he had made a joke about Canada becoming the 51st state.During a meal at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump also brought up the prospect directly with Trudeau, according to a Fox News report this month.
