Heard a great story today. Why is FLAFOTUS interested in Panama? Since there is no argument that under the treaty that the US has been treated unfairly. Or that China controls the canal or is at risk of doing so. In fact, since the latest Panama Pres came on board - ties to the US have only been closer.
One simple reason. Payback.
Story starts in 2011. Back then, FLAFOTUS and his business partners opened the Trump Ocean Club and International Hotel in Panama City. Now FLAFOTUS and his companies never built it, but they were brought on board for the 'name' and the management of the place. Had a casino, condos, hotel etc and Panama City is one of those places moderately wealthy americans go for retirement. Perfect fit.
Now, shortly after construction, one of the main players went broke and its believed the Pres of Panama at the time was involved in taking kick backs from the project. Its also known now that one of key property sellers in the project, met many times with Ivanka (FLAFOTUS rep for this) as well as many organised crime people. This led to the name in Panama - Narco-a-lago.
Anyways - project still ticked along after all the 'crims' fled. The people who actually bought condos in the development objected to the way FLAFOTUS was ripping them off and sought to fire FLAFOTUS. He doesn't own the place, just a management company. FLAFOTUS response - sue the fckrs for $75M. This was settled out of court in 2016 for an undisclosed sum - bottom line though was FLAFOTUS was still in the picture.
And in 2017 - in walks Orestes Fintiklis. Dude bought hundreds of units in the place. And as controlling owner - he wanted FLAFOTUS out. Orestes also runs a hotel management company. And from that point, the court cases began. Continued to 2021. At the end of the day - its now a Marriott hotel. So why after all of this is FLAFOTUS looking at the Panama Canal rather than Orestes (who ftr lives in Miami lol).
The new Panama Govt did a tax audit at the behest of Orestes and that was the main piece of evidence used against FLAFOTUS in these court cases. And as usual, FLAFOTUS paid out, no guilt found and the Trump sign got taken down.
So none of this is about Panama at all. This is an attempt to get back at Orestes who fckd him over royally. Control the canal, you control the govt and you can fck over the businessman that rooted his ass despite the nappies. And the best thing? He's got the right Panama Pres to do it with. Mulino has an interesting history with all the previous Pres's who got done for money laundering, financial irregularities etc etc.
So any bets that FLAFOTUS lays off Panama if Mulino goes after Orestes? Who ftr is a US citizen. Its the perfect payback, FLAFOTUS reckons Orestes used the Panama govt to screw him over, so FLAFOTUS can use the Panama Govt to screw over Orestes.
Welcome to FLAFOTUS world. #Sheeples
