Renaming the Gulf of Mexico, threatening Panama is not why Donald Trump was elected
Plainly jingoistic statements from US President Donald Trump about re-naming the Gulf of Mexico, the American takeover of Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal took many of his friends and supporters by surprise.

Trump says he opposes dockside automation - has he become Luddite? Can this be true?
As much as one admires President Donald Trump, one cannot be anything but disappointed at his support for the dockers' union stand against automation.
The president might as well oppose his worthy associates, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whose drive against inefficiency will result massive job loss for the same reason waterfront jobs are lost through automation.
