Billboard comparing Trump to Fidel Castro draws outrage from Cubans in Miami
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article289357355.htmlThe billboard, which reads “No a los dictadores, no a Trump” – “No to dictators, no to Trump” – was posted Monday along the Palmetto Expressway near Northwest 67th Avenue by an anti-Trump outside group called Mad Dog PAC. It depicts Trump and the late Castro face-to-face on opposite sides of the sign.
The “dictator” rhetoric is nothing new in South Florida, where politicians pull from the politics and history of Latin America in domestic elections to appeal to South Florida’s immigrant communities. Yet the billboard has elicited intense emotions among many voters in a part of the state that has been shaped in large part by exiles who fled Cuba in the years and decades since Castro seized power on the island.
On Radio Mambí, a fixture of South Florida’s conservative Cuban community, hosts and commentators took to the airwaves Tuesday morning to decry the billboard as “propaganda.” Another called it an “anti-Cuban provocation” against victims of Castro’s government. The station appeared to play bits of Trump’s salsa campaign jingle between conversation and callers.

...similarity between Trump and Castro: their penchant for giving utterly interminable speeches, in Trump's case often filled to the brim with petty grievances. It's a similarity that I couldn't help but notice when Trump just couldn't give up the campaign even after becoming President. Somehow, we had elected a leader that behaved exactly like those we ridiculed during the Cold War.
