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.

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 has an aged look with some color variations that suggest it could be a vintage print or postcard, capturing the essence of life along rivers during [...]

The image depicts a panoramic view of the Suez Canal with several vessels navigating its waters. The foreground shows a dry, barren embankment leading up to the canal's entrance, where a ship is moored close to shore. In contrast, multiple boats and ships are scattered across various positions within the waterway, some near docks or causeways that extend into the sea.

In the background, calm seas meet distant landforms under a clear sky. A prominent feature in this landscape is an old sailing vessel with tall masts docked at one of the canal's terminals, suggesting historical significance to maritime activities around this region. The overall composition evokes a sense of early 20th-century commerce and travel within this iconic waterway leading from the Red Sea into Lake Suez (now known as Lake Timsah) in Egypt.

Notably, there is text at the bottom right corner that reads "Canaal de Suez, entrée au Lac Salé," which translates to "Suez Canal, entrance to Lake Salt" and indicates the canal's geographical significance. The image appears aged with a sepia-toned hue, likely due to its historical origin as an early 20th-century photochrome print from Photoglob Company in Zürich.

This photograph captures not only the physical aspects of the Suez Canal but also hints at the bustling economic life that once thrived along this crucial waterway.

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.

The text "Canal de Suez" and a date of approximately 1890-1910 can be seen at the bottom right corner, which implies that the photo might have been part of a series documenting various aspects or locations related to Egypt's Suez Canal during this period. The photograph carries an antique quality with its warm sepia tones typical for early colorized prints from around 1875-1904 using the photogravure process.

This image is indicative of historical maritime exploration and trade, showcasing a moment in time where such vessels played crucial roles in connecting continents vi [...]

The image depicts a large steamship docked in the water, with smoke billowing from its stack indicating it's either arriving or departing. The ship has multiple masts and rigging that suggest an older style of seafaring vessel. In the foreground, there is a smaller sailboat carrying one person, which adds scale to the scene and provides context for human activity in relation to the large ship.

The water appears calm with several other small boats visible at various distances from the viewer's perspective. The background shows hazy skies over what seems like a coastal area or port city, where more ships can be seen on the horizon along with some structures that resemble lighthouses or signal towers.

This photograph is likely of historical significance as it captures an early 20th-century scene involving maritime activity in Egypt's Suez Canal. The image appears to have been colorized or altered for artistic effect and bears a vintage tone, indicating its age.

This image depicts a vibrant harbor scene with numerous boats anchored in the water. In the foreground, there's an industrial setting with buildings that have red roofs and various storage structures, including large cylindrical tanks possibly for fuel or chemicals. A prominent feature is a long pier extending into the sea where several ships are docked, indicating active maritime activity.

In the middle ground, the harbor continues to expand with more boats scattered in the water, suggesting significant commercial shipping operations. The background shows a wide expanse of calm blue waters leading towards distant landforms that appear as faint silhouettes against the sky. A small sailboat is visible on the horizon, adding a sense of scale and tranquility.

The overall color palette consists of muted earth tones with hints of red from the buildings' roofs and warm hues in some areas suggesting sunlight reflection or shadows. The composition captures both human-made infrastructure and natural elements harmoniously coexisting within this bustling harbor environment.

The image depicts a coastal scene with various elements that suggest it is from the late 19th or early 20th century, based on its style and subject matter. The foreground features two boats; one appears to be an old-fashioned rowboat with visible occupants wearing traditional clothing, while another boat is moored near a wooden jetty extending into calm waters. Beyond the waterway lies a bustling harbor filled with numerous ships of different sizes, indicating active maritime trade or military presence.

A prominent lighthouse stands on what seems like rocky terrain in the background, possibly serving as an aid to navigation for vessels approaching Port Said, which is known historically as one of many entrance points into the Suez Canal. The surrounding landscape includes a small industrial structure and buildings that may be warehouses or other commercial establishments associated with port activities.

The overall color tone has hues reminiscent of sepia, suggesting either age or artistic stylization to evoke an antiquated feel. Notable features include calm waters reflecting sunlight, creating a serene atmosphere amidst the busy harbor backdrop. The composition effectively captures both the tranquil and industrious aspects characteristic of Port Said's maritime history during that period.
