From Twitter:
Dusty Johnson tells @aishahhasnie he’s putting out a bill to authorize Trump buying Panama Canal
“I think it is a Teddy Roosevelt moment. And frankly, America used to run this canal, and it was very well run under American leadership,” he told @FoxNews

What are your thoughts?
Here’s bill text from @DustyJohnson to “authorize the President to enter into negotiations for the reacquisition of the Panama Canal from the Republic of Panama for the symbolic amount of $1.” pic.twitter.com/k9nRSmrE7l

Sounds like MAGA electioneering for the governors race to me. Don’t forget bills to invade Greenland and annex Canada Dusty. Otherwise you’ll leave yourself open to a challenge on your right flank! 🤮🤮🤮
Brown nosing is a term but(t) Dusty has inserted more than just his nose. He’s barely visible anymore.
Didn’t Trump run on no more wars and military conflicts or are we turning into a MAGA conquest empire for the oligarchs to exploit? President Elon Musk will need to be interviewed for clarification.
But Dusty, Panama has already said that the canal is not for sale. Perhaps Trump has heard the news. Elon can try to buy it because he is largely subsidized by the US taxpayers anyway.
Otherwis are you okay with a declaration of war, Dusty??? How about buying Greenland and putting Don Junior in charge up there? Canada? Buy it all with crypto!
The incoming Musk administration with the Donald Distraction will create an all you can eat buffet for Oligarchs with the US taxpayers picking up the tab. The United States of America will turn into a Fascist Kleptocracy. Profiles in courage from our South Dakota congressional delegation? None!
Trump’s comments to some might seem irrational but the facts don’t care about your feelings . The Panama Canal is being abused by the CCP and Panama, throughout our nation’s history has played both sides. We must secure the Panama Canal and ensure it is not an issue in the event of a future geopolitical conflict. President Trump is right, but some of you might not notice until it’s too late. Nice work Dusty!!

Sad that someone can believe crap like this
I for one can’t wait to fish in the gulf of America! Fight on dusty!
I see Dusty is at the stage of his career where he believes it necessary to feed Trump’s baser impulses to protect his own political future. Highly disappointing, but what about politics and politicians hasn’t been recently? Utter nonsense.
So everytime Dusty agrees with Trump he will be considered a brown noser?
C’mon.
Maybe he’ll address this tonight. He’s hosting a tele-town hall beginning at 7pm
What a boot-licking twat. Honestly hurting his chances for gov. if he’s just going to debase himself like this for a doa proposal.
HAHAHA Love the twat word You must be an oldie like me Thanks On the serious side Johnson has finally sold his soul
Carter gave away the Panama Canal and never should have done it.
The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 worked out well as did the acquisition of Alaska in1867.
Buying Greenland sounds like a good idea, so much more civilized than invading it. I just don’t know how he’s going to pay for it. Perhaps they can sell an acre at a time to US citizens the way they sell savings bonds.
The conquest of California (1848) was brutal and uncivilized, and Trump should give it back to Mexico, with apologies, and maybe reparations.
What happened to balancing the budget? Spend billions to acquire foreign property the then spend billions to send troops to defend the property. Behind all this there must be some financial gain for his billionaire buddies.
At least Marty went to Trump’s rally.
