President-Elect Donald J. Trump Statement on the Passing of Fidel Castro
President-Elect Donald J. Trump ^ | November 26, 2016 | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 11/26/2016 6:28:57 PM PST by monkapotamus

For Immediate Release

November 26, 2016


Media Contact: Media@ptt.gov

 

"Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades. Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.

"While Cuba remains a totalitarian island, it is my hope that today marks a move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve.

"Though the tragedies, deaths and pain caused by Fidel Castro cannot be erased, our administration will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward prosperity and liberty.  I join the many Cuban Americans who supported me so greatly in the presidential campaign, including the Brigade 2506 Veterans Association that endorsed me, with the hope of one day soon seeing a free Cuba."

3 paragraphs is too long. It’s easier with “I hope he burns in hell”.

He’s spot on again, as usual.

How many milliseconds after he released this comment did the left accuse him of bias against Hispanics?

When I heard of Cuban exiles pouring out of their homes in Miami to celebrate by dancing in the streets Fidel achieving room temperature, I recalled the story of Adolf Hitler summoning his chief astrologer to learn the date of his death.

After casting Hitler's horoscope, the astrologer came back with an inconclusive result: "It's very murky, the closest we can ascertain is that you'll die on a Jewish holiday."
"A Jewish holiday?" said the dictator incredulous, "I demand to know which one!"
"But that's impossible mein fuehrer" answered the astrologer plaintively. "Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday!"

I pray that Donald Trump’s words are in fact prophetic, insofar as the words can be taken, that Cuba “richly deserves” freedom. Only in a sense, only in a sense. In the absolute neither we nor anyone else can deserve squat before God; however God has a fixed deal He has offered through His Son. And so, insofar as God’s Son may be taking over Cuba, His merit would deserve the freedom to be bestowed on Cuba.

If so, Cuba will shortly show us a twofer. POLITICAL freedom and SPIRITUAL freedom. Raul will be cast aside somehow, the Castroites will run like cowards, and before long the place will be packed with open churches of many flavors, all living in peace.

Different subjects; different subjects, leave it to the Cubans rejoice!
