  1. Trump’s Panama Canal comments are a continuation of his tactic of capturing the rostrum and holding the center of attention by saying outrageously stupid things. That’s his m.o., and it’s working.

  2. @Slugger: Just like buying Greenland in his last term. And after all these years the supposedly liberal MSM still have no idea how to deal with it. Yes, what the prez, or prez elect, says is news. But maybe they could just collect his stupid shit for a week and do a Sunday summary and not jump all over it every day.

    If they were competent they would begin all their Trump Dispatches:

    Rightwing media also reports on all these Trumpian grandstands, but with a celebratory, high-five context. Trump feeds on both, the the fanfare and the horror.

    Reportage or not, he’s going to do what he can get away with, and not all are empty threats. Nor should they be regarded as such. The man is not well.

  5. Take back the Panama Canal, restore Mt. Denali’s former name, end the ACA, pardon the Jan 6th insurrectionists …. these kind of intemperate gestures speak less to efficient, functional government and more to one big, bitter ego. And pettiness.

    Trump vows to rename Denali, North America’s tallest mountain, as Mount McKinley

  6. I think this is the real reason he has Panama on the mind: https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-companies-accused-tax-evasion-panama

    His associates are mentioned frequently in the Paradise Papers, too, which also came from records in Panama: https://projects.icij.org/paradise-papers/the-influencers/#/
