The Internet Can't Get Over President Trump's Panama Canal Comment

President Donald Trump hosted the President of Panama Juan Carlos Varela at the White House Monday, and one exchange between the heads of state has lit up the internet.

“The Panama Canal is doing quite well,” Trump said as the cameras flashed while he was seated beside Varela. “I think we did a good job building it, right?” It was part of Trump's opener, according to a White House release.

“Yeah. One hundred years ago," Varela responded. Trump added: “We did a very good job.”

6. Panama

I wonder if President Cheeto could find Panama on a map? Does he know we turned over control of the canal in the 70s? Or that Panama built there own BIGGER lock for the super-freighters?
Aides say President Dimentia wasn't prepared. Why not?

I was in Europe last week and even the cleaning lady for our cabin knew what a fool we have leading (?) our country.

8. I'm heading to Panama soon and was incredibly disappointed to find out the origin of Panama hats.

They are actually from Ecuador.
