Our new Press Secretary is not only hot, but also very good at her job. She is absolutely controlling every press conference with some good reporters but also some rather nasty ones.

The days of caring about the left's virtue signaling are over. Hot chicks are hot chicks. Feel free to compliment them on their efforts.

why don't you get back to stealing people's money as a "financial advisor" lol. I wouldn't give you a nickel to invest as you are not bright and a thief.

Couldnt actually discuss the topic at hand I see. Does this mean you are going to drop your virtue signaling and stick with your 5 of 10 rating for the female?

Every number that comes out of Communist China should be taken with a huge grain of salt

Its widely known they have been lying about their population levels for a long time.

[Yi Fuxian, a researcher specializing in Chinese demographics, claims that China does not have accurate population figures, stating that the government significantly inflates the population numbers, and the actual population is likely much lower than the officially reported one; he estimates China's population to be around 100 million less than the government claims]

Again...thank you for all the video clips you make available.

Tariffs are fine, however I hope the US does not invade Panama. The American people would not support such an action and its not necessary.

Not taking back Panama in some way would be disastrous. I've been warning about China business controlling both ends to the Canal for years. I've been through the canal on board a ship we were moving from A to P. If someone puts a ship down in the canal, we would not be able to move back and forth without going around the Cape Horn. That would screw us badly.

Been through the Canal several times.

It is not worth invading Panama still again.

As the American people and the rest of central and south America will go nuts.

Just build another bigger, better canal where it should have been done the first time.

They should pay the tariffs in Official Trump…

How much will this save us annually?

"If Donald Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, we must hit back—dollar for dollar—starting with 100% tariffs on all Tesla vehicles and U.S. wine, beer, and spirits," Canada's Chrystia Freeland has said.

Those guys [Canada] are getting too big for their britches and need a good pimp slap imo.

I believe that Trump wants Tariffs to pay much of the money that Income Tax does now so that we can abolish it. That's the way the US operated for decades.

1862 - President Lincoln signed into law a revenue-raising measure to help pay for Civil War expenses. The measure created a Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the nation's first income tax. It levied a 3 percent tax on incomes between $600 and $10,000 and a 5 percent tax on incomes of more than $10,000.

I believe there is a long game here. Progressive leaders are the enemies of the average citizen. Trump is weakening their control and support.

I agree with Kai on this. Build a more modern Canal, build it with resiliency in mind. Not worth invading. The question is where? I prefer working with Mexico. Nicaragua is more Chinese than Panama.

I don't see Trump doing that, he feels we already paid for it/

The only way he would do it, would be to actually purchase the land, own it and make it part of the USA. Send whomever some kind of payment based on the traffic coming through the canal. Charge?/Tax? the vessels going through to make that payment, it wouldn't affect the US economy negatively.

Also, when we moved the Holiday from Miami to Los Angeles, it took about half a day to go through all the canals/locks/etc. Would be nice to reduce that time. Since Panama is so narrow, using Costa Rica, there is a path around the San Isidro area. But it looks (from the size on a map). Hard to know as the mountains in Central America can be pretty massive.

In Mexico, there is a slightly longer path around the Veracruz area, but possible

Longer, but more secure and with a neighboring Nation might be a good combo. China already has a foothold going to be tough to remove.

What about north with Canada, which makes Greenland more in play.
