Some Panamanians are clearly not looking forward to the Trump presidency.
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Panama City on Tuesday to denounce Trump’s threat to take back the Panama Canal unless serious changes are made.
According to AFP, demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Trump, animal, leave the canal alone” and carried reading “Donald Trump, public enemy of Panama.”
Some even burned flags with his face on it.
“Panama is a sovereign territory and the canal here is Panamanian,” Saul Mendez, the leader of a construction union organized the protest, was quoted as saying.
“Donald Trump and his imperial delusion cannot claim even a single centimeter of land in Panama,” he added.
Panamaians don’t care or they wouldn’t have given china control. We will get control back and shipping prices will drop drasticly. We can thank that second or third worst president jimmy carter for giving it away after we financed it, and hundreds and hundreds of Americans lost their lives building that canal. Them bastards can protest all they want, but that is all they can do.
