President Trump to reporters tonight regarding the Panama Canal: “We're gonna take it back, or something very powerful is going to happen."

@w7voa @RIJim I think it is back to some Republicans of the 1970s/1980s were salty about Jimmy Carter signing the treaty giving it back to Panama. I can easily imagine Trump being one of them. So this is one of those thoughts that still rattles around his deranged head.
