Leverage Panama for the Wall?

I'm not sure why. I don't know why you jump to that conclusion. Trump is engaged in something they call "anchoring ".

He has majorities in Congress. If he wants the wall he already has it. Panama is about something else.

Really? Is that why they teach you to do it in negotiations seminars?


There is actually a 10 step process we used, and number 6 was "do not lie."

It is up there with "approach with integrity."

As long as they stay in their country and out of mine, I'm good.

They facilitate the illegals moving up through Mexico through their cheap 30 day tourist visas. Fly in from China or other places, catch up with a guide to take you north. San Salvador and Managua are your starting points

Yeah, well we need negotiators we can fleece.

Anchoring is a tried and true negotiating tactic, and it is taught in every seminar on negotiating I have ever seen. It is, by definition, lying. When you anchor, you claim your position is much less (if you are a buyer) than you will actually accept. Eventually, you give ground to the position you will actually accept.

I don't want to go there. Just keep 'em south of the border.

China operates it. They charge us and control when we go through. It’s not a good thing and China better hand it over.

China does not operate the Panama Canal. They operate 2 ports associated with the canal. Panama operates the Panama Canal. Even if the US takes back the Panama Canal, the Chinese will still operate the ports next to the canal.
