'Lie to sell his story': Critics outraged after Trump reveals plan to 'invade Panama'

Raw Story  

Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to retake the Panama Canal, resulting in outrage from critics. Trump on Saturday took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to issue a threat to local Panama officials about the famous Panama Canal. Former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski said, "Trump is now apparently going to invade Panama and seize the canal after he conquers Canada and makes it the 51st state." Author and editor James Surowiecki said, "Trump playing an old-school right-wing tune here, threatening to take back the Panama Canal." Foreign policy analyst Emma Ashford chimed in, "I’ve been trying to persuade folks for a while now that Trump is serious about a return to the Monroe Doctrine, but even I didn’t have 'Trump demands return of Panama Canal as early Christmas present' on my bingo card."
