Yep, the Abu Ghraib billboard in front of the US Interests Section, the "Plan Bush" billboards in Vedado warning of an invasion, fun times LOL. Trump is such a caricature that the Cubans should have an easy time mocking and ridiculing him but they've given him an easy ride so far. We'll see if he gets added to the "Rincón de los Cretinos" at the Museum of the Revolution(only GOPers make it there) lol.

I know from a very good source that discussions on this issue were going very well before Obama left office, the two sides actually making progress. Cuba demands a "discount" as a reparation for the 50 years of blockade, for hijacked planes that the US kept, the frozen accounts etc etc and reparations would be paid as a settlement of that. It's a thorny issue, but one that was being discusses and my Cuban source told me they were actually surprised at how much progress they were making. And then the orange person came along. One God knows what he will do.

Thanks for those. It seems they still haven't decided !
