In his Christmas greetings, US President-elect Donald Trump repeated his call to acquire the Panama Canal and Greenland and annex Canada. In a series of posts on his social media platform ‘Truth Social’, Trump targeted “radical leftist lunatics” and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He began by addressing the issue of the Panama Canal and making it clear that the US would take control.
“Merry Christmas to everyone, including China’s wonderful soldiers, who are lovingly but illegally operating the Panama Canal, where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago, while always ensuring that the United States Billions of dollars were invested in it.” ‘Repair’ money, but nothing to say about anything else,’ he wrote.
Later in the day, while announcing Kevin Marino Cabrera as US Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, Trump said the country was “leaving” the US “far beyond their dreams” on the Panama Canal.
Reiterating his idea of making Canada the 51st US state, Trump blamed Trudeau and said that if that were to happen, “their taxes would be cut by over 60 per cent, their businesses would immediately double in size, and They will become stronger militarily.” Nowhere in the world is it protected like any other country.”
Similarly, he sent a message to the people of Greenland, who he thought wanted the US to stay there – “We will”.
In another post, he accused “radical leftist lunatics” of constantly trying to “disrupt our court system and our elections.”
He declined to wish a Merry Christmas to those “lucky souls” or “the 37 most violent criminals” who were pardoned by Joe Biden. “Instead, would say, go to hell!”
Trump wished his followers a Merry Christmas in a singular way — with a GIF featuring the man himself. In the GIF posted on X (formerly Twitter), Trump rides a sleigh filled with gifts. He is wearing a classic blue suit and a Santa hat. His hands, balled into fists, move back and forth, a signature Trump dance move.
Trump’s friend and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk immediately reacted to the GIF. In the comments section, he left three emoticons – a fire emoji, Santa Claus and the American flag.
