Trump's Second Term

Useful explainer article about the Panama Canal.

Who owns the Panama Canal and what does Trump want with it?

US president-elect has threatened to retake canal over ‘exorbitant’ rates but Panama’s president rejects his claims

Ships using the canal must pay fees set by the canal authority. Variable rates have soared in recent years amid droughts worsened by global heating, which dry up essential reservoirs and reduce the canal’s capacity.

As a result of severe drought in late 2023, only 22 ships crossed the canal each day instead of the usual 36, forcing ships to queue for weeks or pay as much as $4m (£3.2m) to jump ahead. Transits fell by nearly a third in the year to this September.

The canal authority has allowed rising numbers of ships to use the canal over 2024, easing congestion, but will increase charges and introduce some additional fees on 1 January 2025. Panama’s president, José Raúl Mulino, said the canal’s transit fees were not inflated.

“I’m going to be acting very quickly, first day,” Trump said on NBC News’ Meet the Press earlier in December when asked when he planned to pardon his supporters who were charged.
He told the outlet that there could be “some exceptions” to his pardons if the individuals had acted “radical” or “crazy”.

As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. We will be a Nation of Law and Order again! X

This guy must be the biggest blow hard on the planet. I remember all the things he said he would do in his first term. Did he? He did little to nothing except making millions of dollars for himself. Anyone caught trafficking minors will get the death penalty. .Immediately! Does that mean that includes Matt Gaetz?

He'll end paper ballots?

Want to bet Donnie? The US isn't run by Presidential fiat.

No, they're not. The US military is sworn to uphold the Constitution. And obeying illegal orders from the president is a violation of their oaths.
 
Yes, he's a blow hard as he has no power to stop mail-in ballots. That is determined by each state. Also, the death penalty immediately? Like no trial first? Idiot!
 
Donal has an uplifting Christmas message for the nation.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald
Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden's ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic who just hired outside attorneys, fresh from the SWAMP (unprecedented!), to help him with his poorly executed WITCH HUNT against "TRUMP" and "MAGA." Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and "sick" as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
