Trump Effect Continues: Panama Bends The Knee, Will Not Renew "Silk Road" Deal With China After Rubio Visit

The Trump administration is not messing around.



Let's review. In the past thirteen days;

Border crossings are down 94% after Trump declared a national emergency and sent US troops to the southern US Border

Special Envoy Ric Grenell flew down to oil-rich Venezuela, got 6 hostages freed (that Biden didn't even care to check up on), and convinced Maduro to accept tens of thousands of migrants we're about to deport.

Trump halted almost all foreign aid for 90 days, including to Ukraine, while each program undergoes review to make sure they align with the new agenda.

Elon Musk's DOGE descended upon the US Treasury and revealed that we've been 'auto paying' all sorts of bad actors, including terrorist groups. DOGE then kicked the door down at Deep State slush fund USAID, where employees were placed on paid leave last week for trying to circumvent Trump's orders, causing a massive Democrat freakout.

Trump just slapped tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico for failing to control the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a worldwide cable announcing the end of DEI policies within State, prioritizing American interests, and told his Chinese counterpart that America is done kowtowing.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Big win for DJT and America.  I think the world is on. notice that the post WW II economic policy of allowing to piss on us at will is abruptly ending. 
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Canada has already tilted their hat ... at least for 30 days.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
With the expressed anger by the Democommies today, Trump definitely took something major away by closing the doors on US AID.  Perhaps it was one more way they established to launder money back to their own pockets. 

I believe there is a huge amount of that.

I'm liking Trump's impersonation of Teddy Roosevelt implementing the Monroe Doctrine.
