A Cruel Trump Anointment!!

The map & graphic depicted above reveals why, I believe, Americans have displayed little respect for their democracy since the 1950s...as revealed by not objecting to a few rogues in the Eisenhower administration supporting Mafia thugs Fulgencio Batista, Lucky Luciano, and Meyer Lansky as the brutal-thieving dictators of Cuba, a situation that also allowed rich Americans to partake in the rape and robbery of the island. When the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959 overthrew the U.S-backed Batista-Luciano-Lansky dictatorship in Cuba, it merely fled and resurfaced in nearby South Florida where the Batistiano-Mafisoi leaders were far richer than anyone else and thus able to take over that portion of U. S. soil politically. Then with massive support of self-serving U. S. operatives, such as the Bush dynasty, by the 1980s the Bush-anointed Counter-Revolutionary Jorge Mas Canosa became essentially America's Cuban dictator, amassing unlimited power in Miami first and then in Washington. And now in 2017 President Trump has essentially anointed Miami's contribution to the U. S. Senate, Marco Rubio, as America's new Cuban dictator, albeit one operating out of Washington and Miami but not in Havana. Americans, disrespecting their country, didn't object to the U. S. aligning with Batista-Luciano-Lansky in sacking Cuba also didn't object to the Bush-anointment of Canosa or the current Trump-anointment of Rubio as America's Cuban dictators. Yet, Revolutionary Cuba has pugnaciously objected to such things for over six decades and even today America's greatest democracy-lovers and America's greatest business leaders strenuously object to yet another American Cuban dictator, Marco Rubio.
With that being said, I'll get back to explaining the map & graphic depicted above. Buoyed by the decency of former President Obama, Carnival Cruise Lines jumped at the chance to do business with Cuba that, prior to Obama, had been off-limits because of the U. S. embargo imposed in 1962 to starve, deprive, and make miserable the lives of Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government, a fact revealed by de-classified U. S. documents from 1962. So Carnival, thanks to Obama, gleefully touted the map & graphic above that hopes its cruise line is able to operate from the Port of Miami to three Ports in Cuba -- Havana, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba. In other words, Obama -- as President of the United States -- had proven to be the only U. S. president with the guts to challenge the likes of Rubio, who had to abide his Cuban cruelty till Obama left office on January 20th of 2017.
Like former President Obama, Arnold Donald is a Democracy-loving American who believes Americans should not be the only people in the world without the freedom to travel to Cuba and Arnold Donald believes that Rubio, anointed by President Trump, should not be permitted to starve, deprive, and make miserable the lives of everyday Cubans in order to perpetuate the revenge, economic, and political goals of Rubio and his Miami cohorts. He is the President & CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines, the largest cruise line in the entire world. It was Mr. Arnold who drew up the map-graphic at the top of this update.
Back when democracy-loving President Obama was in office, Arnold Donald is shown above signing a business deal with Cuba on behalf of his Carnival Cruise Line, the world's biggest cruise line. But Obama has been replaced by Donald Trump and thus America has a new Cuban dictator, Rubio.
As the dynamo in charge of Carnival Cruise Lines, Arnold Donald is one of thousands of democracy-loving U. S. business executives trying to challenge Rubio's dictatorship of America's Cuban policy, a policy condemned by a vote of 191-to-ZERO in the United Nations. "Punishing America to punish Cuba makes no sense," says Arnold Donald. And, of course, it has made "no sense" for decades. But Batista-Luciano-Lansky had enough rogues in Washington to support them in the 1950s; Canosa had enough Bushes to support him in the 1980s and 90s; and Rubio in 2017 has President Trump and enough bought-and-paid-for miscreants in the U. S. Congress to support him. That leaves great democracy-lovers, even like the very powerful Arnold Donald, out in the cold. And, sadly, in America's money-crazed/two-party system, waiting for another President Obama to emerge is probably a bridge-too-far for the U. S. democracy.
One of the great American lies dictated for decades by a few Counter Revolutionary extremists in Miami, and perpetuated by an incompetent or intimidated or politically correct mainstream media, is that most Cuban-Americans favor the cruel, hard-line approach to Cuba. The truth is...most Cuban-Americans even in Miami favor Obama's decent efforts to normalize relations with Cuba. You cannot get anymore Cuban-American in Miami than Frank Del Rio. He is the powerful head of the Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line and Frank wants normal U.S. and Cuban relations.
And like President Obama, Frank Del Rio wants Cuban-American businesses even based in Miami to have the freedom to do business with Cuba and for all Americans to have the freedom to visit Cuba if that is their desire, just as all non-Americans can.
When Obama was America's decent and brave President even while Rubio and 3 other Miami members of Congress were trying to dictate Cuban policy ALL BY THEMSELVES, Frank Del Rio's Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line, as shown above, got approval to cruise to Cuba. But Obama was replaced by Trump on Jan. 20-2017 and that evolved into Rubio's anointment as America's new Cuban dictator, something democracy-loving Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio don't support.
Another prominent Miami Cuban-American businessman is Hugo Cancio. He says Miami has "a little problem with democracy." NO KIDDING, Hugo!! What he means is this: He believes he is among the majority 2 million moderate Cuban-Americans in South Florida but he wonders when, if ever, Miami or South Florida will elect a moderate Cuban-American from the majority to represent people like him in Congress. And my point is this: If a Cuban-American in the majority like Hugo Cancio in Miami feels that way, why in the hell don't more Americans have democratic Cuban thoughts like...Barack Obama, Arnold Donald, Frank Del Rio, and Hugo.
In other words:
Supporting these 3 guys...
in Cuba in the 1950s...
was not right.
Obama Landing in Cuba.
Obama is loved in Cuba.
Obama is hated by fiery Rubio.
Counter-revolutionaries Canosa-Reagan.
Counter-revolutionaries Bush-Canosa.
Counter Revolutionaries Rubio-Trump.
As a decent man and a democracy-lover, former U. S. President Barack Obama is still embarrassed by the image of the United States depicted above, as are all of America's international friends. And Mr. Obama believes that all Americans should also be ashamed and embarrassed by what this image now conveys to the world.
