larry johnson thinks that cheeto is a bit daft; 

Just when I began to think that Donald Trump’s travails over the past four years brought him a measure of wisdom and reserve, he proceeds to pick a fight with Panama over ownership of the Panama Canal and reinforce the caricature of Trump as an unrepentant imperialist. Good grief!!

Trump reiterated his intentions to take back the Panama Canal, after threatening he would in a Truth Social post on Saturday. Trump said that the United States is being “ripped off” at the Panama Canal and has insinuated that China is gaining influence over the waterway. “We’re being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we’re being ripped off everywhere else,” Trump said Sunday.

“If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America in full, quickly and without question,” Trump said at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, his first big public appearance with supporters since the election. “We’re not going to stand for it. So to the officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly.”

Panama’s President wasted no time in responding to this threat:.........more........
