Max Rose on Trump’s Panama Canal Threat: ‘Someone Wrote Him a Check’

EXCERPT:

ROSE: “Look, you should take what Donald Trump says seriously. And to my friend David, obviously, congrats on your on your victory. And what I particularly enjoyed about Donald Trumps campaign was all of the Panama Canal commercials. And you saw how much that spiked in the exit polls. It was such a pivotal issue in the campaign, so obviously he'd be acting on it now. Of course not. The guy never mentioned it once. So we all know how this business works, OK? Someone wrote him a check or someone had a pivotal meeting with him and made a promise for a future check if he acted on this issue. So it's going to be Panama Canal this week or next. And then the weeks thereafter, it will be another pet project of the billionaire class. This speaks to what the actual truth of this second iteration of the Trump presidency will be, not the populist, hard core issues that he actually ran on. And that's what's so sad about all of this.”
