Trump Vows to Undo Eased Cuba Relations Unless His Demands Met

Source: Bloomberg

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed to reverse improved U.S. relations with Cuba unless the island nation meets his demands for more religious and political freedom.

Trump’s comments at a Friday rally in Miami mark a reversal of his previous position. He told the Daily Caller in September 2015 that he was “fine” with “the concept of opening with Cuba.”

President Barack Obama has been moving to normalize diplomatic relations with the island nation that soured more than five decades ago during the Cold War, which effectively ended most forms of American investment. In March, Obama visited Cuba with his family, the first trip by a U.S. president in 88 years.

“All of the concessions that Barack Obama has granted the Castro Regime were done through executive order, which means the next president can reverse them –- and that is what I will do, unless the Castro Regime meets our demands," Trump said at the rally.

85% I say Trump wins the election, tho something even weirder could happen before inauguration day(like conscientious politicians and citizens do some boycott of the swearing in or something)

Also I guarantee Sanders would be whoopin Trumps ass. But of course, the DNC is too high on their hubris to dare side with Bernie. Young people wont show up to vote for Hillary

Yes you did. Courtesy of the suspicious, shit-sourcing, creepy backtoiam.

It has everything to do with gender considering how you used it. It's disgusting.

Right. Trump is gender neutral. So is Hillary. The image of a man violently stomping a woman's ass until it turns into a pulp of shit and flesh has nothing to do with gender. Nice try, son.

backtoiam, however you meant it, I don't appreciate seeing shit like that here, either. I'd like to think it's possible to raise the level of discourse on RI.

---

You don't just become a new non-voter overnight. Or a 'third party' person. People can get burned by the system ten times, and still come back for more. It's a rare thing for people to grow out of it. Most never do.

If you're a young political consumer that supported Sanders, you're going to 'hold your nose' and vote for Clinton.

Not that it matters, I think it's been made clear that the young political consumer doesn't count. The message is 'no one wants to buy you, young political consumer. You tried to build your brand, but no one wants to buy you. These are the big leagues, young political consumer. And the young political consumer is not a big league product. Now shut up and go buy your product, and like it.

I think the only question is how many registered republicans will go against their brand conditioning, hold their noses and vote for Clinton. It will feel like a big choice for them, like the most radical political act. I'm a coca-cola, but I bought a Pepsi. Very exciting times, hoo boy.

That's what Trump is fighting against. He's got nothing but appeals to the worst in people. Come on, republicans, indulge your inner racist, you know you want to pull the trigger for trump.

It's that old spectacle thing, isn't it. The advertising manufactures the desire. You gotta have your vote, that's buying the product. The moment when you push that magic button, that's satisfaction for the consumer.

If you're Clinton's machine, you want it to look like the horse race is neck and neck. Otherwise people think she's got it in the bag already. That would give the consumer their satisfaction too early, and they won't go vote for it. Gotta keep them scared.

I swear, posting on this thread I feel like I'm a commentator on a pre-game show. "Well, Bob, what do you say." "Oh, I tell you Bill, it's gonna be a great game..."

I suspect it has something to do with Hillary's personal character, or obvious lack of. They know she is more ruthless and cruel than Bernie and I think that might be one of the reasons they want her. Bernie is no saint but he isn't the mad dog killer she is.

That is not even what it really means regardless of the way it sounds. It simply means a sound ass whoopin. Vanquished. Conquered. That is all it means.

I like how Clinton is 'Hillary,' Sanders is 'Bernie,' but Trump isn't 'Donald.' Who's going to vote for Donald. What are you, voting for Donald Duck?

So Clinton is ruthless and cruel, but she's 'gonna get a sound ass whoopin.' Which is it? Is she Mike Tyson, or a redneck's dog that chewed up his slippers.

I think the Clinton machine has played this perfectly. The American voter wants ruthless and cruel. That's a major selling point. And voting against 'redneck attitude' is another selling point. Your average American voter wants someone who will drone terrorists, but waves an American flag, not a confederate flag.

Everything about Donald Trump is just too extreme. He's an extremist, a loose cannon. He's going to build a wall, like the great wall of China. Muslims? Just deport them. Round 'em up, put 'em on a plane. Sure. Oil? Take all the oil. You just take it. Tax cut? 4.4 trillion dollars. Cooler heads will prevail. We want someone who will drop bombs calmly.

I already know it. It was a mistake. I admit it. It was late. I was drinking. It was crass at best.

Nitpick 2: Pence wants to have control over seemslikeadream's vagina, it is true. I've got a problem with it too.


I was nitpicking a single thing in your post, the implication that as a creationist Pence believes "Jesus rode a dinosaur" a la Jesus-Raptor memes, i.e., it's ridiculous and scary to think dinosaurs co-existed with humans. The trope is not specific to triceratops but dinosaurs in general. It may be pedantic to remind you that humans have never not co-existed with dinosaurs, and still do. But if you're going to position yourself as a scientific purist in judgment of the scientifically wrong, then pedantry is accuracy is reality.
