Then there's the idea of taking over the Panama Canal.  All Trump has done by floating that idea is unite all of Central and South America against us.  Trump says we need to keep out of foreign conflicts, but he would create a massive one if he tried to take back the Panama Canal.  So that's another idiotic idea.

“Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zone belongs to Panama and will continue to do so,” Mulino said
