The president, 79, has escalated his threats against several Latin American countries, including Cuba and its leader, Miguel Díaz-Canel, following the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3.
Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided Security Services for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Trump began his post.
Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last weeks U.S.A. attack, and Venezuela doesnt need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years. Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will.
He concluded: THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.

(10,200 posts)At the end of his rule, most Cubans were tired of Batistas rule. Thats one of the major reasons Batistas control of the island collapsed so fast.
No, I suspect what Donnie wants is for some Cuban emigre to be installed as a new Cuban head of state. Hell probably pick someone from the emigres here in the US.
I suspect that his plan will go off-script very quickly. Cuba is not the place Donnie thinks it is nor is it the place that the Cuban emigres think it is. I may not be a hard-left cheerleader for the Havana government, but I do know that the Cubans have gone their own way for sixty-plus years and they dont see the US as a liberator or the bright and shiny role model theyll wish to follow.
I suspect that the imposed new chief of state and his/her lieutenants will be denounced and loathed as puppets and sell-outs.
