Trump tells CNN Cuba is soon going to fall: 'I'm going to put Marco over there'

Source: CNN

President Donald Trump told CNN Friday morning that Cuba “is going to fall pretty soon.”

“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a phone interview when touting US military success in his second term.

“They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years,” he added, explaining that Iran is the current priority.

He added of Cuba: “I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me, it’s fallen, but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well.”

If we really wanted to help Cubans we'd lift the idiotic trade embargo and start allowing tourism again.

I am more surprised that even the Republicons are too stupid to realize Democrats are not the only ones who are going to be fucked, if he keeps trying to provoke WWIII.

His insanity is getting worse, and the chaos he's creating world wide isn't just going to magically disappear. It's not the people who are sounding the alarm bells, who are overreacting, and need counseling. It's the ones who are in full fledgled denial.

Some people need to wakeup, and declare the 25 ammendment before it's too late. Then again it's probably all ready too late.

...or aid others in doing so.

In return, the USSR removed its nukes.

Russia is probably looking at what they want to put there now and it probably includes battlefield nukes. In other words, ship groups wiped out at sea while steaming towards Cuba.

People here keep saying Putin is "in charge", I'll say he isn't and probably did not expect a return of Trump. He's lost control of this monster and hoping we take him out before they have no choice.

That's insane gibberish. Shouldn't someone intervene and stop him from murdering people all across the world. The blow back hasn't begun yet.

Justice matters.
