Trump screws Cuba, again

During his speech, Trump slammed Cuba for human rights abuses, saying, "The Castro regime has shipped arms to North Korea and fueled chaos in Venezuela. While imprisoning innocents, it has harbored cop killers, hijackers and terrorists. It has supported human trafficking, forced labor and exploitation all around the globe."

The Cuban government rebuked those statements in a lengthy response Friday, writing that Trump's executive order betrays a double standard on human rights.
"We have deep concerns by the respect and the guaranties of the human rights in that country {USA}, where there is a large number of cases of murder, brutality and police abuse, particularly against the African Americans; the right to live is violated as a result of deaths by firearms," the statement read.

It went on to list a litany of concerns: racial discrimination, salary inequality between genders, the marginalization of immigrants and refugees from Islamic and other countries, Trump's proposed wall on the southern border, his decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord, the imprisonment of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, the killing of US and foreign citizens in drone attacks, the preface for and conduct of the wars in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries, and estimates that the Republican health care bill would cause 23 million people to lose medical insurance.
The Cuban government also called the Trump's executive order a "backward step," saying the administration was resorting to "coercive methods from the past" in taking steps to strengthen the embargo.

"The US President, ill-advised once again, takes decisions that favor the political interests of an extremist minority of Cuban origin in the state of Florida, who driven by petty motivation, do not desist from their objective to punish Cuba and its people for exercising the legitimate and sovereign right to be free and for having taken the reins of their own destiny," the statement said.

But, according to the asshole in chief there is no problem with Saudi Arabia or China, which openly execute dissidents, only with Cuba?

Figure that one out, if you can, like why are 2 of the most oppressive regimes in the world are our butt buddies, meanwhile Cuba is the evil one that needs to be eliminated.

Fuck Trump
Cuba has definitively down that America's moral compass is broken and we have no leg to stand on when calling other regimes oppressive. Well done!

Too bad most Americans will never see the response, they'll only see what the Chump said.
