    The question is where is he going to stop? He’s done all these things to so many countries less than a year into his Presidency. There are three more years left to go.

    After Iran is Cuba. After Cuba there are a few other Middle Eastern and Latin American countries(Some Israeli hawks are already talking about how dangerous Turkey is and Trump’s threatened Panama and Mexico before). And eventually he might return to Canada and Greenland as well.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” — Baltimore Evening Sun on July 26, 1920, H.L. Mencken

    What is the American obsession with Cuba??? Why are they messing with all these other countries??? They had a nuclear deal. They voted Trump and tore up the nuclear deal. Completely schizophrenic. Stay in your own lane America 🫡

  4. He’s eyeing Cuba in the same way he is eyeing Gaza. He sees it as a place for his next real estate investment. Golf course, shitty hotel, the usual.

    Does he even realize what he is saying. He wants to take control of the country and appoint the States Secretary Marco Rubio as the dictator.

    The only thing that may stop him is that I doubt he will get reelected and he is old enough to keel over and die at any time.

    The biggest mistake people made was thinking all the fascist overtones during his first term were “meme” material.

    At this rate Trump is on pace to be the first 2 time winner of the FIFA Peace Prize 🏆

  8. Not possible. Someone on Reddit said the has an agreement or treaty saying we won’t. Trump would never dishonor the US by violating something.

    It takes me 4 tries to understand headlines now. I thought it was saying trump was telling ”CNN Cuba” that they were going to fall. And I thought that why wouldn’t cnn have a Cuban affiliate.

    basically we have come to the point where we have a world dictatorship.

    there are vassals with a certain grade of autonomy and the rest is treated as “unrest to be quelled”.

    That’s on us, though, since Europe, Japan, australia and others are responsible for letting the US amass such a citical power that they basically dictate economic and military proceedings around the planet.

  11. Once this peanut is gone all of his wealth and companies in the family should be sold and used as compensation.

    A third of the population approves and a third don’t care.

    Going to be a long three more years.

  13. When I went to school, my teacher made us learn about checks and balances. 

    What a waste if time that turned out to be.

  14. Cuba should make a quick move and join Canada. We’ve always had great relation with Cuba. The Americans will ruin it.

    Canada and Mexico need to step up their presence in Cuba. This is no different than Greenland. This total disrespect for international law need resistance from middle powers. Don’t lead the world to a 3 autocrat solution.

    Don’t fall for it Marco. See what happened to Maximillian when Napolean 3 put him as Emperor of Mexico. It didn’t end well.  

  17. JFC how much more demented do his answer get before he’s full on literally babbling in tongues?

    All this destruction and bloodshed so that our focus isn’t on the Epstein files and Trump’s massive involvement in them.

    Pls, put him in a mental asylum. He puts Marco over there? The world is not his playground. The Psychopath must be taken out.

  20. “A day earlier, Trump said at the White House that it’s only a “question of time” before American Cubans can return to their home country, appearing to say that’s next on the administration’s agenda after the ongoing war with Iran.”

    Is he implying that Cuban Americans will be deported back to Cuba?

  21. He must’ve seen the Marco sitting on the couch memes every time a position needs filled.

  22. Haven’t they suffered enough. Marco knows fuck all about Cuba. He can’t even get the story straight why his parents left/ multiple versions on line! So he’s a liar / although we knew that already

    So, democracy is, you just kill everyone that doesn’t align with your values and ideologies.

    Understood.

  24. Can we just have one fucking day without this moron doing or saying something absolutely insane?

    Americans, you like “went to school” right?
    Like how bad is your education down there????

    I just don’t get it. We have dumb people here in Canada, but most of them never graduated high school.

    It’s like you opened everyone’s skulls at some point and rubbed peanut butter on your brains.

    How does an absolute dipshit like this , get elected president?????

  26. piginapokezzap on

    Flexing his muscles in his back yard.
    He won’t flex quite so much in the South China Sea for some reason 🇨🇳

    Like a diaper wearing Napoleon he should just start installing friends and family as rulers of the places he conquers. Marco gets Cuba, Kushner can be the new Ayatollah, Barron can be the president of Venezuela
