He's more like this guy...on his second time as head of state of Cuba!

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fulgencio-Batista

Fulgencio Batista, in full Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar, (born January 16, 1901, Banes, Cuba—died August 6, 1973, Marbella, Spain), soldier and political leader who twice ruled Cuba—first in 1933–44 with an efficient government and again in 1952–59 as a dictator, jailing his opponents, using terrorist methods, and making fortunes for himself and his associates.

Batista has been part of the myth of a great Cuba...told to generations of Cuban-Americans by their elders! When they see DeSantis they imagine him to be a reincarnation of Batista!!!
