    The hotel wasn't owned by Trump and he was president at the time so I doubt he had his fingers in the operation. Before anyone says Trump managed the hotel and was thus responsible, use that same logic to when discussing who was managing Trump's finances and payments for Trump's bookkeeping entries.

    Trump is a well known scam artist, and was found guilty of multiple felonies. Of course he'll evade taxes in other countries too, and maybe Panama just didn't look into his books until the made territorial demands.

    Biden made a deal with Panama to close the Darien Gap, where 500 000 per year people crossed over on their way to the US, and the deal also included deportations from Panama to Colombia and Venezuela. My guess is that Panama will void that deal if Trump continues to threaten their sovereignty. Other countries in Latin American have already said they stand with Panama on the issue. Whether or not they would defend Panama from US attack is another story, but they can also undo deals relating to war on drugs etc if US becomes too hostile.

    So, let me get this straight, Garyd: threatening to upend a critical global trade route, antagonizing an allied nation, destabilizing the shipping industry, giving Panama but another reason to allow China to have more influence in the reason (Panama has already, on Trump's watch, given China recognition over Taiwan), and flirting with an international crisis is just 'hardball negotiating'? What’s next -- sending in a Twitter poll to decide foreign policy? Maybe annex Greenland via Instagram story? This isn’t just ‘Twitter diplomacy’; it’s a big, flashing neon sign to the world that says, 'Look at the stupid buffoon president!' It’s not strategy; it’s performative bluster that undermines U.S. credibility. This isn’t ‘Art of the Deal’; this is ‘Art of the Deranged.’ Serious leaders use diplomacy and alliances; wannabe autocrats throw tantrums and call it strategy. Negotiating like this is like lighting your house on fire to convince the bank to refinance your mortgage -- it’s dumb, reckless, and only looks impressive to the uninformed.

    Hostility typically draws a negative response. Besides the claim that Panama is screwing "our people" is totally made up. Also, now Trump made up more BS by claiming Chinese soldiers are operating the canal

    IRC 969 states that as long as you do not claim foreign expenses, you cannot claim foreign income under those rules for corporations and other business entities. It is why you need to look at the books and the income states from the organization to determine if the allegations are true or not.

    I was a weather man in the Air Force. Maps were a major part of my life. I have been assigned to five different confinements. On our maps and the map I showed the city was called Panama. I briefed aircrews flying into Panama. The correct name is Panama. Panama City is apparently the Americanized version.
