Trump is the elementary school kid whose mother writes his reports for him. (Re:Castro)

Trump tweets a shallow response to Castro's death: "Fidel Castro is dead!"

Hours later, staff writes and issues a response using vocabulary, grammar, and syntax that is beyond Trump's knowledge.

If it wasn't so sad, it could make you laugh.

"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."

from a bullshit laden and driven upcoming ameriKKKan administration. Nothing about why Castro tried to give his people a better life. No surprise with these upcoming fascists in the drivers seat of our in danger ship of state. Fuck Trump.
