On taking the Panama Canal, Canada and Greenland – The insanity of Trump’s orange fascism

Trump unleashes threats, insults in Christmas Day posting frenzy

Amid a social media posting frenzy on Christmas Day, President-elect Donald Trump expressed his desire to somehow seize control of Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal as he lobbed insults at his political enemies.

In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump repeated his recent complaints about the Panama Canal, which have been coupled with threats to take over the shipping lane in Central America. He accused China of operating the canal and lamented that the United States “puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’” Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has fiercely insisted on his nation’s control over the canal, and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has saidit will “always respect Panama’s sovereignty over the canal and recognize the canal as a permanently neutral international waterway.” (As The Associated Press explained, unless Trump goes to war with Panama, his threat to take over the canal is effectively meaningless.)

Trump also suggested once again that Canada should be the 51st American state and hinted at his desire for the U.S. to purchase Greenland, a notion he first raised in his first term as president. (Greenland’s prime minister reiterated that the island, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, is not for sale.)

In a subsequent post, Trump wished a “Merry Christmas” to “Radical Left Lunatics” whom he accused of trying to meddle in the justice systems and elections, and “are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME.”

He then insulted President Joe Biden and criticized his decision to commute the sentences of 37 people on death row.

“I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls’ but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL!” the president-elect wrote.

Remember the Hell of Trump’s first Presidency?

The never ending stream of crazy bullshit this Orange Fascist would shit post at all times of the day?

Well, he’s back and this time he thinks God is on his side.

Right now this is American Politics on the right…

…the dangerous polarisation of American politics right now would prefer to turn a blind eye to Matt Gaetz than cross the wishes of their dangerous President.

It is difficult to determine if this is all just froth and foam from Trump, or if he is seriously considering rebuilding the American Empire. He believes God saved him, so any plan can be completely funking unhinged now.

What this rhetoric does tell us is that this time around is that Trump is ready to be an Emperor and we could see this as early as next month, if he is really serious about Tariffs and signing them into law on day 1, the economic turmoil that blanket decision will cause will be immediate.

Those who claim Trump has a mandate and the ‘majority’ misunderstand what that means.

Just because you have the majority, doesn’t mean you are right, it just means you have power.

Look at what Trump is doing with that power.

He is appointing the most Ghoulish Cavalcade of Political Circus Freaks, this is a Rogues Gallery of Supervillains, people, who are acolytes and loyalists before they are intelligent people.

They are cogs in his machine.

A terrible, terrible, terrible machine.

America was always a Military Industrial Complex death machine but now Trump’s United States of Wounded Masculinity has elected a naked Plutocracy.

Trump’s brand of Orange Fascism has used the UNDERmensch to empower the UBERmensch.

The American midnight is upon us.
