If we were currently in the Cuban Missle Crisis, and Trump was President, how comfortable would you feel?

2017 was the deadliest year for civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria, with as many as 6,000 people killed in strikes conducted by the U.S.-led coalition, according to the watchdog group Airwars.

That is an increase of more than 200 percent over the previous year.

Trump would say Castro was a great guy, just like he says about every other dictator he has met, bad murderous as they are. If you're not part of his 35% -40% . you dont exist. You think he cares about these casualties while he's playing golf at one of his clubs.

Um; your post has merit for at least the part of Trump not caring one wit for the middle and lower classes but as far as your Castro reference, ask yourself these questions:
Does Trump own a hotel in Cuba, a golf course, any other type of brand specific property? NOPE.
Does Trump have the slightest inkling there is money floating around in Cuba that could be afforded him without accounting for it's origins to bail him out of debt? NOPE.
Do Jared or Trump kiddies have any interests in Cuba for the ability to leverage under-the-table financing of questionable sources for equally questionable enterprises? NOPE.
Would the Trump name on anything in Cuba be in any way attractive to the Cubans? NOPE.

In that regard, Cuba's dictator is ONE dictator Trump will probably not kiss up to. Nothing there for him and they've not occasioned the opportunity to have anything on him they can hold over his head, like the other despots he hugs.

I guess there is a very remote possibility he could have done worse than Kennedy.

Despite the hoo-rah about it, it was handled very badly. The US intruding in the internal affairs of another country and threatening military force to do so, military force that could have had detrimental results for the US, all because of Kennedy's BS ego.

Let's see; we put missiles right on the border with the Soviets, then cry about it when they do the same to us? We illegally intercept and harass their ships while they are engaged in legal navigation? We state what a country can and cannot do in regards with its relations with another country? Yea, Kennedy, one of the neocon founders.
