Trump did not say the Canal is being "restored"; he said the US was "reclaiming" it. He also said the US would be taking Greenland "one way or the other".
Look - Trump is a strong negotiator. The statements aren't "lies" - they're negotiating positions - "claims" you might say. A lie is an intentional mis-statement of fact. You cannot lie about the future - the future isn't (yet) fact. You can state intentions, and Trump may not be wholly truthful about his intentions, but no successful negotiator is truthful about his intentions (i.e., his willingness to resolve a dispute - over the price of a trinket, or over control of a continent - at some given middle/compromise position). Only "negotiators" like Biden do things like that; i.e., stupid negotiators that either give up too much or needlessly go to war.
China is losing in Panama (and probably elsewhere - Xi is losing domestic support; his economy is in the toilet). They've been kicked out of the ports - and now we're going to carp because it was done through Blackrock? Come on - when are we going to say, "Good step in the right direction" instead of constantly finding a way to look like a Democrat?
Not only a LIAR! - Just look, can you count how many in ONE WEEK????? What ONE person could have/can put a Halt to this MASS MURDER?
In memory of those who “died suddenly” in the United States and worldwide, February 10-17, 2025:
