The only reason that asshole back peddles so much is that he doesn't have a dictatorship like Castro, but he has sure acted over the past 5 years like he would want one if he could create one.
No moron, they are alike in attitude. BOTH are selfish narcissists and opportunists. They are not alike only in the context of the governments but both ran selling populism and both like to be feared.

Trump IS literally a selfish and ruthless opportunist. He has stiffed contractors and defrauded investors with his University scam. He has run his campaign with the same utopia populism any good despot would. The only difference between Trump and Castro is Trump doesn't have the benefit of being the head of a one party state.
They do have similarities. They both don't keep their deals.
Castro has actual blood on his hands. I'm grim about Trump and he will have blood on his hands, but to match Castro he will need to burn through a lot of resistance and people. He is nowhere close to thr blood.
Castro is dead. This is a thread about his death.
Aside from the president elect's boorish behavior, he is immaterial and off topic.
Keep it up and I may excise the off topic cancer into another thread for the sake of the current threads discussion and respect to the members.
It is not off topic. When you have even 50 Republican former law agents calling his rhetoric dangerous that goes way beyond "boorish" it is TOXIC and can lead to deaths in more wars, in a very literal sense. I only agree that right now Trump has a far way to go, true. But if more of his loyalist take the same tactics he did to win more elections that sets the very same road long term.

He likes the fear and is ruthless in his business dealings. He conned his way to the presidency by selling the same hyper nationalism populist salespitch. Again, the only difference between Trump and Castro, or Hitler for that matter, is that we are still enough in tact that he is limited. BUT HIS TONE is toxic, both with global diplomacy which right now is the biggest concern, but domestically if GOP wins more elections replicating his demagoguery we will have a a one party state.
