Trump Open to Military Action Against Greenland & Panama

Trump won’t rule out military action against Greenland and Panama.

A reporter asked if Trump would rule out “military or economic coercion” to put the US in charge of Greenland and Panama.

He said, “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But, I can say this, we need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military. I’m not going to commit to that now … it might be that you’ll have to do something,” Trump continued.

He added: “The Panama Canal is vital to our country. It’s being operated by China, China, and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama. We didn’t give it to China, and they’ve abused it.”

Trump Claims Biden Making Transition Difficult

Trump, who incited insurrection and refused a peaceful transfer of power four years ago, accuses Biden of making the transition “as difficult as possible.” Really!! Yet again, Trump is projecting, attributing his own worst faults to other people.

“You read that right. The MAGA cult leader, who was impeached for inciting a resurrection and refusing a peaceful transfer of power four years ago, is now publicly complaining that President Biden is engaging in “lawfare such as has never been seen before” to make Donald’s return to the Oval Office more difficult. Not a joke. Not The Onion.

“You may recall that, in addition to siccing a violent mob to storm the US Capitol, Trump engaged in months of legal chicanery to stop Biden from taking office, begged elected officials like then-Vice President Mike Pence and others to violate US law and halt the formal transition process, and — after all attempts to steal a second term failed — refused to attend Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021.

“But, yes, Joe Biden is clearly making this month’s transition “as difficult as possible” by, ya know, governing and fulfilling the duties of the presidency until his term officially ends.”

U.S. Actually in Best Shape Since at Least 2000

“President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.”

“To hear President-elect Donald J. Trump tell it, he is about to take over a nation ravaged by crisis, a desolate hellscape of crime, chaos and economic hardship. “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World!” he declared on social media last week.”

“By many traditional metrics, the America that Mr. Trump will inherit from President Biden when he takes the oath for a second time, two weeks from Monday, is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since George W. Bush came into office in 2001.”
