Trump’s purpose with his tweets is just to be in the news every day. He would shrivel up and die without the attention.

An old story, but it might be part of the reason behind Trump crapping on Panama now

This is where we’re going, unfortunately. Trump is slowly but surely giving the perception that Canada is “weak” and doing a poor job protecting the United States from its enemies. It’s always the same stupid playbook. Americans create these fantasies about national security just to invade another country.
Maybe I should retitle this thread “The Trumps Say the Darndest Things”, given the kids joining in the, um, fun:
Must be a hidden message somewhere in 2 Corinthians

Gretzky sold out Canada when he left Edmonton for LA. His loyalties are to the USA not Canada. He is also chummy with Trump which is a disqualifier.
Do you have to be able to speak English?
But it’s not a prerequisite for being a governor in the US.

Reasonable response by Mark Carney (former Governor of the Central Banks of Canada and The UK) to Trump’s Gretzky comments.

The only former hockey player who had aspirations of being Prime Minister was Ken Dryden who ran for the Liberal Party leadership after serving as a Cabinet MInister. At the leadership convention he was fifth out of five candidates. Dryden, a Cornel graduate, with a law degree from McGill was probably the most articulate hockey player in history.
American hockey fans would know him as the color commentator with Al Michaels for the Miracle on Ice.

38,000 American fatalities building the Panama canal sounded high so i checked. Best estimate is about 5,600. The French lost about 22,000 primarily due to malaria in their failed attempt.
