Trump's Second Term

Donald's statement on the Panama Canal

Donald J Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America’s Economy and National Security. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports. The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure - 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction. Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade. When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else. It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage. Our Navy and Commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way. The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S. This complete “rip-off” of our Country will immediately stop.

The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama. 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 us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!

Well, for a start, 25000 died during the entire construction, mostly in the French era.
5609 during US ownership, mostly panamanians and caribbean workers.
 
Trump has nominated Aaron Reitz to lead the DOJ's Office of Legal Policy. Trump wrote that Reitz will "develop and implement DOJ’s battle plans to advance my Law and Order Agenda, and restore integrity to our Justice System.

Aaron is currently Senator Ted Cruz’s Chief of Staff, and was previously Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Deputy, where he led dozens of successful lawsuits against the lawless and crooked Biden Administration.

Aaron is a true MAGA attorney, a warrior for our Constitution, and will do an outstanding job at DOJ. Congratulations Aaron!

He also named Chad Mizelle as the next chief of staff at the DOJ.

During my First Term, Chad was General Counsel and Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security, where he helped to secure our Border, and stop the flow of illegal drugs and aliens into our Country.

Chad is a MAGA warrior, who will help bring accountability, integrity, and Justice back to the DOJ.

Trump picks Apprentice producer Mark Burnett as UK envoy

Donald Trump has appointed British TV executive Mark Burnett, who produced him on The Apprentice, as his special envoy to the UK.

Trump said it was his "great honour" to pick his former colleague for the role, which is separate to the position of US ambassador to the UK.

"Mark will work to enhance diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges," he added.

Didn't Burnett once fess that T****y only gkt the Apprentice gig because he was the only person stupid enough to do it so cheap.

And also let out that T****y was an absolute disaster of an actor on the show?
 
I'm sure its just coincidence that Panama accused the Trump org of tax evasion a few years ago.
 
Maybe that's part of Trumps plan... Sort of like what Putin did, act like nothing's wrong, offer him a nice gig that's too sweet to say 'no' to, get him on a plane that mid-flight, suddenly looses the ability to fly for unexplained reasons. No more trator Burnett and Trumps hands remain clean.

Not enough random words capitalized, too few incomplete sentences, proper punctuation.

It's not on X or Truth Social, looks like I fell for a fake

I have since seen it re-posted on TwiX, with responses thinking it's real, so it had to originate from somewhere prominent. What clued me in was the first line. Never in his life has Trump felt he had to make anything "perfectly clear".
 
First, the ghostwritten Elon post, then this one that also obviously wasn't written by Trump...

It's looking bad for Liz
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Liz Cheney has been exposed in the Interim Report, by Congress, of the J6 Unselect Committee as having done egregious and unthinkable acts of crime. At the same time, however, she helped the Democrats lose the Election by giving her support - She is so unpopular and disgusting, a real loser!

Has anyone actually seen Trump lately? Could he be incapacitated?

Ah, so he's no more incapable than usual, then.

My theory is that his brain is deliquescing but semi-solid/gelatinous chunks of bacteria are currently blocking most of the skull holes, so the liquid only seeps out slowly at intervals. Eventually the whole structure will collapse, it's only holding up this long because of the artificial preservatives they put into ketchup. It's got to give at some point, and I hope when it happens everybody standing nearby is wearing rubber boots.
 
Trump says in his Turning Point speech

"Elon Musk is not going to be president. That I can tell you. I’m safe. You know why? He can’t be. He wasn’t born in this country"

There was a recent picture from... somewhere. (I don't care.) White golf shirt with his pants hiked up to his nipples. It looks like he got a terrible mullet haircut. Really pasty-looking too. I hope that's a good sign.
