Trump and Cuba

[Raul Castro]

Will Trump stop all the progress made with Obama and Raul? I think so, and I am very worried I do not want my cuban comrades to suffer anymore :(:(:(

Yes. But it can be seen as a good thing too (from your perspective): This way Cubans won't be tempted to allow American capital into their country and they can remain communists. Don't be fooled by Obama's concessions. In the end of the process Cuba would have become an American colony, with American corporations exploiting the people.

Although being an American colony is still better than being a Russian colony as they are now (de facto).

I think Rubio or Cruz wouldve been much worse for Cuba, Trump rarely mentions Cuba only saying this:



In September 2015, The Daily Caller, a conservative Washington publication, asked Trump: “Do you think Obama’s rapprochement is good policy, or do you oppose America’s opening with Cuba?” The candidate responded: “I think it’s fine, I think it’s fine, but we should have made a better deal. The concept of opening with Cuba — 50 years is enough — the concept of opening with Cuba is fine. I think we should have made a stronger deal.”
When asked to respond in writing to the question “Do you support President Obama’s move to lift the trade and travel embargo on Cuba?”, Trump responded, “Ultimately, it’s going to be good,” adding that the U.S. government could have “made a better deal” and wished the United States was better at negotiating.

There is a bit of a sectarian war against the catholic bloc of the republican party, which have been the main supporters of the embargo. So I dont see Trump doing much of anything against Castro or Cuba, short of building a new Trump hotel & casino there (right across from Putins new air force base).

Unless of course he can make a big enough spectacle out of it, to distract from something else but I dont see that happening.

Hi, we are doomed, because the 50 million mind-controlled voters who voted for Donald Trump (who sold himself as a populist social-democrat reformist), will get a taste of their own medicine (Ayn Rand perfect 100% pure libertarian narcissistic free markets).

Trump is planning to literally destroy the medicare, medicaid, family first, social security supplement monthly payments, un-employment insurance, food-stamps, public schools, public universities and other public services
