Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

Also other natural resources.

And beachfront property.

Trump and Kushner know to the penny what Cuba is worth to them.

Plus it’s been a carrot the right has been dangling for a looooong time. It would be a big deal for Rubio to open that up even is his parents aren’t alive.

you're right, rapist mentality. he doesn't need legitimate reasons, that feeling he gets by making people grovel and suffer seems to float his boat. will be interesting to see if this upsets any GOP senators. based on their past statements they should be appalled, but I doubt any of them have the balls to say anything. and of course, Lyndsey will be gushing about how strong and powerful trump is. what a sick mess this is.

Putin will remind him Trump and his buddies that he has videos of him with little Russian girls...and boys. Then it's on to something else.

From the mouth of the deranged 'leader' and of all despots (although usually not in public):

I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth.

He's talking about Cuba here but by extension these comments apply to any country including the United States.

The Destroyer has spoken.

You can't give a madman "total immunity" and expect sunshine and roses. There's a very small part of me that would like to believe Roberts didn't imagine it being this bad, but I think I'd be lying if I said I believed that.
