Trump no doubt believes this will win him back support from Cuban-Americans - who, as they clearly showed Tuesday night in Miami, are now well aware that Trump is throwing them under the bus bigly in order to please his far-right white Trumpkin base.

People who, in general, couldn't find Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina - or, for that matter, the United States - on a map even if you paid them.

But he knows that if it has a Spanish-sounding name attached to it, they expect their Orange Deity to terrorize and/or kill it.

(unless it's really good at kissing orange butt, like Argentina's Milei - who, btw, shares a lawyer with the country's top convicted narco)
