Speaking in the oval office yesterday, Trump mused about taking Cuba. Historians 50 years from now are going to have a field day with this guy.

Probably do the Cubans a favour. That place is a mess.

I often wish he would just choke on his tongue. The language he uses around invading sovereign lands is just reprehensible.

MaggieBsBoat · 20/03/2026 09:28

What a malignant little carbuncle of a human he is.

I think history may not be his strong point; Bay of Pigs

Before or after Greenland? 🤔
He seems busy with Iran right now.

His own belief in himself knows no bounds.

The way he is going, it’s going to be the US v the rest of the world! WTF are the other branches of govt doing?

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show read out the part of the Declaration of Independence which sets out the list of grievances against George III and ticked them off against the actions of Trump - very eye opening!

He is like the mad king in game of thrones. Instead of dragons he has spray tan and a twitter account.

And the US isn't a mess? Really?

The places the US have trampled on to bring "freedom" are a mess, to put it mildly. Women in Afghanistan can't even sit at windows in case they're seen by men. There are slave markets in Libya. It isn't a favour to be invaded by the US.

So how wonderful is the place now? Wasn't this tried about 60 years ago already

He already bored with the mess he's created in the Middle East (to distract from Epstein) so he's moving on to somewhere else.

NedsAtomicWheelieBin · 20/03/2026 10:11

Cuba is in a mess because of the US.

LassiKopiano24 · 20/03/2026 10:15

Can we just put him on a remote uninhabited Island and tell him it’s Cuba?

Hehe - really??

Maybe someone should do America a 'favour' - as it's basically all going to shit

The US was founded by a bunch of tax dodging elites who conned some of the population into rebelling under the guide of "freedom" - except for black people, naturally.

In unrelated news, the Reform manifesto about how a bunch of tax dodging elites want the white population to fight for "feedom" will published soon

I'm going to enjoy thinking who else we can put on that island.
Andrew Tate?
Farage?

Mainly because of economic sanctions. We'll never know what Cuba could have looked like given economic freedom. And I say that not as a communist apologist, but as someone who would be genuinely interested to see how different economic models play out if allowed to.

A lot of US tourists to the UK would buy (and smuggle) Cuban cigars back to the US.

randomchap · 20/03/2026 11:19

The important thing is no one is talking about the Epstein Files now

Thousands of deaths, economic chaos, but that's OK as it's a distraction from the fact that Trump was good friends with a paedophile.

Probably.

He thought a carriage ride around the King's gardens was a great honour, only given on state visits.

Actually it was so that protesters couldn't be seen and heard.

Psychosislotus · 20/03/2026 11:26

Hopefully this is a wake up call for America. The people there really need to get a reality check.

I honestly don’t know what it will take.

Yeah, Bay of Pigs didn’t go very well!
