Cuba’s Raul Castro blasts Trump’s Mexican wall and trade policy
Reuters ^ | March 5, 2017 | Marc Frank

Cuban President Raul Castro harshly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration, trade and other policies on Sunday as Trump reviews a fragile detente with Communist-run Cuba begun by his predecessor Barack Obama.

In his first critical remarks directed at Trump since he took office, Castro termed his trade policies "egotistical" and his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border "irrational."

Castro's speech to a summit of leftist leaders in Venezuela was broadcast by state-run television on Sunday evening.

OK. That's it. If Castro doesn't like it, Trump immediately needs to change it. (...major sarcasm!)

Of course Raul is indignant; as every Communist tyrant knows, walls are meant to keep people IN not out!

The Worker's Paradise would be a desert island by now if the population were not kept in place at the point of machine guns

Cuber needs to import the US Constution, personal freedom and property rights. Castro needs to go hang out in one of those open billets in Gitmo’. I hear they have an aquatics program.

That reminds me. I know DJT has been busy, but it is time to reverse the Obama Cuba policy changes.

Castro needs to go hang

We can stop right there.

I was presented the opportunity of visiting the island this year and I pointedly declined. I don't have the slightest intention of putting a single greenback in Castro's pocket

It’s an open secret among Cubans that Raul is a pederast

Fidel seemed enthusiastic as noted by his reserved response.

Rather stoopid of Raul to be sounding off against President Trump, when Cuba’s pathetic economy is at stake in future US policies. Maybe we can send all of our illegals to Cuba.

It would be my great pleasure and delight if Raul took a blast or three!
