Trump Tower, put a Trump Tower down there.
There'll be a Trump PGA Tour event here in three years.
They'll give that away, I'm sure.
The question is, politically, what do they have to give?
Now, the funny thing about that is Diaz-Canales, the president of Cuba-
but he's not really in charge of Cuba.
Like, it's not even like Maduro, right?
Like, Diaz-Canel is kind of front man for the Communist Party, but you still got the Castro family, you got the military.
So what's even more bizarre about this is like, they could, you know, Diaz-Canel could be on the chopping block and, you know, but nothing would change.
He is the Delcy, right?
And what's funny about this is, and again, it's kind of like the Iran thing, like, and you know some of these Florida people, like, is that going to be enough?
for Marco and Jorge Mas and, you know, all the right-wing Miami Cubans, maybe.
But the thing is, if it is, then the whole pretense of this was about human rights was bullshit.
It was about who gets to develop the land in Cuba, you know?
I think what unites you and me and can, can be confusing to people is I don't like autocrats.
Good.
And so I don't like Victor Orban or,
I don't like Nicolas Maduro.
I don't like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Donald Trump.
I don't like Bibi Nanyang, who's a fucking autocrat.
