I thought the same. He boasts about how he's blocked the Venezuelan oil so that Cuba has no power but when Putin sends a ship then he's suddenly worried about them having heat and water etc.
What a pathetic clown he is. Putin pulling Bozo's strings as usual.
The Trump fanboys will say it is 3D chess. America must pay reparations to all countries where it has caused damages.
I have no doubt that Putin has something on Trump, it has to be....it is sickening how he cozies up to Putin.
There is, of course, the Epstein files. Epstein was linked to the Russians, so chances are he was selling them information. His operation may even have been partially Russian-funded as a honey-trap to derail the richest in American society.
Putin may also be threatening to give Iran nuclear weapons. I think he suggested that earlier in the war.
Or, Trump just admires dictators; he wants to be like them. Putin is his role model.
Naaaahh, I reckon Trump was videoed dancing barebum in front of a retired hag of an old pro.
Amazing developments seem to be happening at Mount Rushmore in the last few weeks as well
President Trump looks to now be added to the already famous American landmark
Recently released images already show his iconic hairstyle being shown on the mountain
Interestingly, it seems that the public have got behind Trump being added, which is quite a surprise
Laser technology was apparently used for the first time to make sure they could fit him in properly
Finally, people just might put a little bit of respect on Trump's name....time will tell I guess
Officials admitted that this was in discussions for quite a long time already, before being voted in.
Of course this will only upset all those people even more, who seriously suffer from TDS, lol
Looks like Trump is finally being recognised for the good that he does, and not just the bad
Sometime in the future I can imagine people agreeing that this was the right thing to do
Apr 01,
Goodness me. Where to start?
First off DA, you've been suckered by fake news again. There is no room on Mt Rushmore for another head.
Secondly, who in their right mind would support the idea of this incompetent, egotistical, lying clown being added alongside the likes of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln? They were great presidents. Bozo is by some distance the worst.
I'm guessing you're also all excited for Bozo's new planned "presidential library" with the big gold statue of himself and you punch the air with delight every time the narcissistic fool plasters his name all over buildings, train stations and airports.
I know you like to pretend that you're not a Trumpanzee but really, this will be hard to live down.
LMAO!
Okay, you got me. I didn't see the date.
I do feel like an April Fool now. Well done DA.
I wonder who chose April Fools day for the launch of the lunar mission?
I'm picturing the countdown at Cape Carnaveral . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . and then the rocket splits in half and a huge banner comes out saying "April Fool, the moon-landing conspiracists were right".
Okay, you got me. I didn't see the date.
I do feel like an April Fool now. Well done DA.
No worries, all in good fun
Just to prove it really was an April fool joke from my side.... read down, the first letter of every line

I personally think it is pathetic
Maybe the Walk of Fame is more fitting—I mean, really, he’s the clown of the decade, no one else has given the world more daily laughs.
TDS……they will believe anything. Maybe Trump carved into Table Mountain? It’s too bland, anyway, all that table top surface.
I didn't really think I would catch anyone with it.... who knew
One of the better April Fool gotchas.
The NBA April Fools joke was funny if a little mean.
For those who didn't see it, the NBA have a thing where during half time they call up a spectator from the crowd who gets blindfolded and then has a chance to shoot a hoop from the half way for $10k. The guy missed by miles but because it was April Fools, they all cheered and celebrated like crazy so the poor guy (still blindfolded) thought he'd won $10k only to be told April Fool.
With NATO members buying oil and gas from Russia why not allow a ship into Cuba?

So, Trump puts an oil blockade on Cuba to destroy it. Now he is allowing Russian oil ships to make deliveries to Cuba. Trump and Putin are great friends, or Trump is just being a useful idiot. Putin is going there on a humanitarian mission.
This is just Trump trying to control the oil market and protect the petro dollar. It was probably traded in dollars. Also, to force them into unfavourable trade deals that favour America. The American Oligarchs are behind every move.
So far, Trump’s actions have mainly made Cuba’s already weak economy and energy system worse. Reporting says the U.S. cut off a key flow of Venezuelan oil, threatened sanctions on other suppliers, tightened enforcement of the Cuba travel ban, and pushed harder on the embargo, which has helped trigger rolling blackouts, fuel shortages, food shortages, and a deeper humanitarian crisis.
Economic pressure
Cuba’s biggest immediate hit has been energy. With oil deliveries squeezed, the island has faced power-grid collapse and repeated nationwide blackouts, and the tourism sector has been badly affected because hotels, flights, and visitor flows depend on reliable fuel and electricity. Reuters reported that tourism, one of Cuba’s main hard-currency earners, has been choked by the fuel squeeze, with some hotel operators closing properties or consolidating guests.
Political pressure
Politically, the administration appears to be using economic pain to force concessions or negotiation. Several reports say the White House wants stronger pressure on Havana, with officials framing the policy as regime change or leverage for a deal rather than normal diplomatic engagement. At the same time, there are signs of possible backchannel talks and even a reported economic deal being explored, which suggests the strategy is not purely punitive but also transactional.
Human impact
For ordinary Cubans, the biggest effect has been daily hardship. News reports describe blackouts, food and fuel shortages, and worsening living conditions that have fueled rare protests and public frustration. In short, Trump’s actions have intensified economic isolation and energy scarcity, while leaving open the possibility that Washington is also trying to extract a bargain from Cuba rather than simply crush it.
Trump's administration sees regime change in Cuba as a way to open the island to U.S. business and trade, potentially creating new markets for American exports and investments. This could help the U.S. economy by ending the embargo, boosting tourism, and reducing migration pressures, while shifting Cuba away from rivals like China and Russia.
Trade and investment gains
A post-regime-change Cuba could become a major market for U.S. goods like oil, food, and machinery, with analysts pointing to direct sales to Cuba's private sector (already starting under Trump) as a model for broader commerce. Ending the embargo would give U.S. firms first-mover advantage in a stable Cuba, potentially adding billions in trade and jobs, similar to how Trump's past policies encouraged private-sector growth there.
Tourism and migration boost
Lifting restrictions would supercharge U.S. tourism to Cuba, benefiting airlines, hotels, and related industries, while a stronger Cuban economy could cut refugee flows to Florida and encourage emigrants to return and invest. This would ease border pressures and open real estate or development opportunities for Cuban-Americans.
Geopolitical edge
By aligning Cuba with U.S. interests, regime change would limit Chinese and Russian influence in the hemisphere, securing supply chains and reducing security costs for America. Economists note the macro impact would be modest globally but significant regionally, with Trump framing it as a "win" for commercial engagement over ideology.
