Donald Trump did not rule out using military force to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland and announced a bold plan to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America'.
The president-elect, 78, announced his threat of coercion on the global stage and the name swap during a wild and wide-ranging press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday morning.
He laid out his vision for the world, took aim at Canada and tore into President Joe Biden's climate agenda.
Trump also attacked his nemesis, Special Counsel Jack Smith, by calling him a 'nutjob' and demanding all his criminal cases be brought to an end.
'He will execute everybody',' he raged before taking questions from the press.
Just 13 days before the inauguration, he said the United States was entering the 'golden age' and will 'take off like a rocketship' when he gets the keys back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
He also slammed the crackdown on gas heaters by saying electric heaters 'itch' and said windmills are killing whales.
In a remarkable moment, a reporter asked Trump if could assure he would not use 'military or economic coercion' to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland.
'I´m not going to commit to that,' Trump said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. 'It might be that you´ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.' He added, 'We need Greenland for national security purposes.'
He has been ramping up threats to take over both in recent weeks as he prepares for his second term.

Yep...I wonder if Iran/Hamas will release the hostages??
“ the Italian explorer and navigator Amerigo Vespucci”
After he returned from his exploratory voyages, two booklets, including drawings, were published under his name. I guess that publishing paid off in his lasting fame, at least his name.
I’m of the opinion that we were lied to about Amerigo Vespucci.
Golf of Trump.
he also didnt discount you falling out of the ugly urinalist tree and hitting every branch on the way down

Vespucci was just a passenger on the ship--he wasn't even in command of the expedition.
Very interesting.
America is a good name, easily pronounced and spelled.
True but that’s not what they asked.
They didn’t ask “if THIS happened...”
They just asked in general.
And if Trump genreally meant for any reason he liked, then it was as silly answer :)
Try not to ever run for president.
The mapmaker, Waldseemueller, when he came up with the name America, wanted it to be similar to the names for the other continents (Latin feminines)--Europa, Africa, Asia.
All of these names originally applied to a much smaller area--Europe was a portion of the Balkans, Africa was roughly modern Tunisia, and Asia was a portion of western Asia Minor (an early form of the name is already found in the Hittite records from the second millennium BC). The mention of Asia in Acts 2.9 would be the older meaning--just a portion of Asia Minor. It was only later that America was applied to both continents.
“I doubt very much that South Americans routinely call themselves ‘American’.”
Our Founding Fathers bequeathed that name to us. There has been a move for a time to apply it to everyone.
Just another attempt to rob Americans of their identity.
A school official told me that when Common Core was adopted, they had to change “American history” to “United States history.” Can’t have that “American” word around, it is an identity.
Location.
Look at the geopolitical landscape. Arctic trade routes and proximity to America. China owns and is buying millions of acres right here in America. Much of it is near military bases. People need to wake up… and think.
Think about what - taking Greenland by military force?
