I think that he must think that Venezuela and Cuba are easy pickings for him, plus Venezuela has oil and Cuba has beachfront property.

There goes the Hispanic vote, Donnie! They will not want you or what you are selling.

Good luck with wanting Venezuela and its oil, while the people get fucked over.

Or maybe even behind Greenland and Cuba.
