The Hollow Man
The latest episode of Trump against Cuba is almost funny. After more than 140 sanctions since 2017, with almost nothing more than snatching the Cubans and not fulfilling the promise to discipline the communist island, he says goodbye to the White House with the ridiculous act of blacklisting the company he markets Cubita coffee.
