The last time Cuba was hit by a hurricane was <checks with co-pilot> October 29, 2025 (Hurricane Melissa, category 3).Trump said it would be an “honor to take Cuba.” Then followed that up with “they have great weather … you know they’re not in a hurricane zone.”

The thought process that it takes to say stuff like this off the cuff, repeatedly, across a variety of circumstances is one of the main reasons why I think it’s becoming obvious that he raped young girls.

Much, much smaller than Iran. Trump needs someone much smaller to pick on.

Melissa was earlier tied for the strongest CAT 5 ever in the Atlantic Basin. (190 mph). Only the island of Jamaica taking the brunt prevented a direct monster hit on Cuba.

Trade with Cuba collapses as Trump escalates pressure on Communist Party leadership
President Donald Trump this week said he believes he’ll have “the honor of taking Cuba” soon. Without declaring a formal blockade, Trump and his administration have already crippled trade with the island and threatened the future of the Communist Party regime.

“… The stranglehold is disrupting the lives of Cuba’s 11 million residents, who are enduring massive blackouts and a breakdown in medical care due to a lack of fuel to power ambulances and hospital generators. The country, one of the most heavily reliant in the world on oil to generate electricity, produces barely 40% of the oil needed to cover its energy needs.
… The sudden halt in trade has taken place without the White House reapplying restrictions on exports to Cuba that were last loosened during the Biden administration. Indeed, shipments of U.S.-produced poultry, pork and other foodstuffs to Cuba — which account for the vast majority of U.S. exports to the country — last year soared to $490 million, the most since 2009. Non-agricultural exports and humanitarian donations, much of it to Cuba’s emerging private sector, more than doubled.
… Cuba has upped its rhetoric against what it calls a “fuel blockade” by the U.S. But the Trump administration has disputed that characterization, no doubt aware that according to international law any naval operation seen as punishing civilians is considered an illegal act of aggression outside wartime.…”
Yeah. If that’s the way he thinks about everything, then it’s a virtual certainty.
