14. I find that the idea of any humanitarians in the Trump regime ludicrous.

I can tell you where this goes. If Trump makes an already bad situation in Cuba worse, everything that floats in Cuba will load up with refuges and head for Florida. Of course Trump will try to prevent this with force. Hundreds (thousands?) will die. Pictures of drowned women and children washing up on Florida beaches will flash around the world. It's hard to predict how the world will react.

The Florida Cubans are in for a rude awakening when they find out what it means to have their long protected status disappear. By now there are several generations born here which means, thanks to the 14th Amendment, they are citizen. Many of the older Cubans have never been naturalized. It's going to get ugly when ICE starts to round them up. Knowing the monster that is Trump, if there is a surge in refuges heading to the U.S., he will retaliate against the Florida Cubans.
