You And What Army?

"We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned," Trump declared a day earlier. He took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to issue a threat to local Panama officials about the famous Panama Canal. 
The next day, it was reported that the President of Panama said, "As president, I want to clearly state that every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjoining zone is Panama’s and will remain so." 
Trump responded Sunday afternoon, replying to that quote with a vague and cryptic, "We'll see about that!"
The power to declare war still rests with Congress. Trump can’t turn possession of the Canal into a national emergency. Even if he thinks possession of the Canal would curb immigration. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

In other news that makes you wonder if he’s aware of Congress:
I am pleased to announce Ken Howery as my choice for United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Ken is a World renowned entrepreneur, investor, and public servant, who served our Nation brilliantly during my First Term as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, where he led efforts to increase Defense, Security, and Economic Cooperation between our Countries. As a Co-Founder of PayPal and venture capital fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American Innovation and Tech leadership into Global success stories, and that experience vill be invaluable in representing us abroad. For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity. Ken will do a wonderful job in representing the interests of the United States. Thank you Ken, and congratulations! 
Donald Trump Truth Social 05:35 PM EST 12/22/24

Does he think Greenland is green and ripe for golf course development? Is he threatening to use the army to take Greenland, too?

Either way, he’s clearly desperate to reclaim his authority from Elmo.
