About Trump taking the Panama Canal by military force.
I predicted he would go after Panama for several reasons. I predicted that Trump would eventually run through his big mouth and need a quick win. Using force was an inevitable option. And it's not so much about Panama, as it is about shoring himself up as a tough, powerful man.
Panama was the obvious choice for this, because it really doesn't have a military that would rival the U.S. military. All of the Central American countries would have to bandy around it, and fight back with trade wars.
So, putting that aside, as much as Trump might want to do it, and as much as he has Republican whores in Congress to let him have his way, is there anything that could stop him through Congressional approvals or procedures? He is in essence, starting a war. And it's not like he can use China as an excuse, because the Chinese have willingly withdrawn from the two ports they did own in Panama. This is all about Trump's ego, and has nothing to do with National Security.

like Obama did. 
Like of the Genghis Khan variety. 
With trumps numbers underwater right now, I can't see how the American people would go for it.
