First, I never said he was not going to get Ms Chesimard. I simply believe he didn't invoke her name with the only purpose to bring her to justice. DJT's view is strategic, and he will use the decades-long tactical mistake of Cuba and turn it into their strategic failure. He is already three moves ahead of the Cuban government, and they don't even know it. Neither do you.

In fact, the only way the Cubans can win/save face is for Ms Chesimard to have "an accident." And even then, it will only buy them time.

Trump throws a marker out, with no terms of negotiation. He doesn't appear to have any leverage. Watch him CREATE leverage, and watch the real purpose unfold.

Save this post and you'll see that I am right.

In post three you did.

“No way Cuba will return her. This is the Art of the Deal. DJT is fixing to tee Cuba up and use this as a marker.”

Exactly right. Trump just created a fulcrum. Trump cares about both the particulars and the bigger strategic picture.
