Trump’s Bold Presidential Strategy Unveiled | January 20 2025, 17:47

Trump announced his presidential strategy:

1. “We’re taking the Panama Canal back”.

2. “We’re changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf, effective immediately”.

3. “We will build the strongest military the world has ever seen”.

4. “Our troops will be free to focus on their sole mission—defeating America’s enemies.”

5. “Effective today, the official policy of the United States states: there are only two genders – MALE and FEMALE”.

6. “We will end all governmental censorship and bring back FREEDOM of speech to America”.

7. On oil: “We will lower prices and fill up all our national reserves. National energy emergency: drill, drill, drill!”

8. “I will end the catch and release practice.”

9. “I hereby declare a state of emergency on our southern border. All illegal border crossings will be immediately stopped.”

10. “I am creating an External Tax Service for taxing and tariffs on foreign nations to protect American workers and enrich American families.”

Under the practice of “catch and release” in the context of U.S. immigration policy, it refers to the procedure where detained illegal immigrants, instead of remaining in immigration detention until their case is heard in court, are released under certain conditions (for example, the obligation to appear at a court hearing in the future).

This policy was primarily used due to limitations in the capacity of immigration detention centers, a lack of space in prisons, and the length of the deportation process. However, critics, including Donald Trump, argue that it leads to abuses — some released migrants fail to appear in court and remain in the country illegally.

About Panama — this statement indicates his desire to revisit the agreement on the transfer of the Panama Canal to Panama, which was completed in 1999. Practically, this is unlikely without serious international conflicts, as the canal belongs to Panama under international law. We’ll see.

The gulf can be renamed as desired, but the question is whether it will be renamed in Mexico itself. I don’t think so. After all, there are many geographical names with different names for different countries. Just look at Germany (Allemagne, Germany, Niemcy, Tyskland, Saksa, and of course Deutschland). The Falkland Islands in the UK, in Argentina they are the Malvinas. Even Florence is called Firenze in Florence itself, while the rest of the world calls it Florence. The Baltic Sea in Germany is Ostsee (eastern sea). And so on.
