4. THAT the Cubans will be spared from

At the end of his rule, most Cubans were tired of Batista’s rule. That’s one of the major reasons Batista’s control of the island collapsed so fast.

No, I suspect what Donnie wants is for some Cuban emigre to be installed as a new Cuban head of state. He’ll probably pick someone from the emigres here in the US.

I suspect that his plan will go off-script very quickly. Cuba is not the place Donnie thinks it is nor is it the place that the Cuban emigres think it is. I may not be a hard-left cheerleader for the Havana government, but I do know that the Cubans have gone their own way for sixty-plus years and they don’t see the US as a liberator or the bright and shiny role model they’ll wish to follow.

I suspect that the imposed new chief of state and his/her lieutenants will be denounced and loathed as puppets and sell-outs.
