    We really should just start taking bets on what random country Trump is going to start a fight with every time he fails at something. I mean there’s usually the default of migrant caravans coming through Mexico whenever he needs to deflect attention away from one of his epic failures, but every once in a while he comes up with a doozy out of nowhere such as slapping tariffs on Canada, exchanging Greenland for Puerto Rico, and now annexing the Panama Canal.

    The purpose, of course, is just to deflect attention by forcing the media to focus on whatever outlandish shit pops into his mind, and the more outlandish the better. I’m half expecting another one of Trump’s cabinet picks to be forced out of the running, and for Trump to retaliate by declaring war on the kingdom of Tonga for not doing their part to help the US control the giraffe population of Nevada or something at this point.
