#Egypt: businessman sends harsh message to Trump after remarks about #SuezCanal
"Donald Trump clearly hasn’t studied history or geography"
Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...
His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:
> American Ships, both Military and Commercial, should be allowed to travel,

The Panama canal, maybe.
The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.
The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.
So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.
[1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

Opposition politicians in Panama have accused the United States of launching a “camouflaged invasion” of the country after President Donald Trump confirmed the deployment of US soldiers days after the two countries signed a security pact.
Nothing quite like signalling your punches in advance! Have they not heard of blockships - as used in the #suezcanal in 1956 ?

![This image depicts a serene riverside scene with boats and lush vegetation. The river appears calm, reflecting the surrounding environment on its surface. On the left side of the photograph, there are several small rowboats docked near the shore, suggesting human activity in this tranquil setting.
The shoreline is sandy and stretches across the foreground of the image, leading to a body of water that seems expansive. Tall grasses or reeds grow along the riverbank, adding texture and color variation to the scene with their green hues contrasting against the browns of the sand and water's edge.
In the background, trees line the far shore under what appears to be bright sunlight, indicating it might have been captured during a warm season. The sky is mostly clear except for some scattered clouds near the horizon where land extends into the distance on both sides of the river.
This image carries historical significance as indicated by the reference to "Canal de Suez," suggesting that this scene could possibly be part of Egypt's famous network of canals, including the iconic Suez Canal. The photograph is likely from a period between 1890-1910 when such photogloves were popular for documenting various geographical locations and human activities around these waterways.

![The image shows a large ship with multiple masts, sailing across the water. The vessel appears to be an older style of maritime transport, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century, given its design and the presence of flags on its rigging which may indicate nationality or affiliation at that time period. It is cruising along what seems like a coastal area with land visible in the background across calm waters, likely partaking in trade or travel routes during this era.
The sky has a muted mix of light blue and soft yellow hues, suggesting either early morning or late afternoon lighting conditions. The water reflects these colors as it moves gently through the scene. There are several small boats scattered around near the shore, indicating activity within this coastal region. In the distance, there is another larger ship on the horizon line.
