Trump is so stupid he thinks Nicaragua is a dictatorship. In fact, Daniel Ortega was elected through elections that the US helped set up. Apparently Trump and his people do not understand the concept of “democracy.” That’s not surprising since Trump got elected using the Electoral College and got less than a simple majority of the vote. The simple truth is that trump and his people don't respect democracy.
According to Aljazeera:
“The administration of United States President Donald Trump intensified its crackdown on Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela on Wednesday, rolling back Obama administration policy and announcing new restrictions and sanctions against the three countries, whose leaders were dubbed the "three stooges of socialism" by US National Security Advisor John Bolton.
"The troika of tyranny - Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua - is beginning to crumble," Bolton said in a hard-hitting speech near Miami, Florida on the 58th anniversary of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the US attempted to overthrow the government of Cuba.”
While Cuba doesn’t have elections, all they have to do is point to Trump for evidence that elections can bring about tragic results.
Much of what Trump has done is to roll back all the changes that former President Barack Obama, who had relaxed the restrictions on Cuba. Again from Ajazeera:
"The United States looks forward to watching each corner of this sordid triangle of terror fall: in Havana, in Caracas, and in Managua," Bolton said.”
That so called “terror” exist only Bolton and Trump’s imagination. The real terror is Trump himself. It would be great if we voted him out and a Democratic Socialist in.
