We can’t get upset when the Trump administration gives us fair warning on what he wants from the Caribbean and then when we stand off and stiff him, and when his administration responds with decisiveness, we start to cry that Trump is an evil, despotic imperialist.
The Trump administration has said that they have concerns about Cuban doctors being abused in the Caribbean and that we should try to deal with it. Nothing was onerous about his concerns, so we should not become startled when he pushes for a travel ban when we don’t square responsibly on his human rights concerns.
I knew our leaders arrogant posture after having been accustomed to it by dealing with their compatriots they believe are lesser than them would show up on the global scale. You see, the often monosyllabic, empty answers you give to your respective electorate thinking that you are the smartest thing God ever created is only tolerated because most of the electorate is trapped with having to listen to you for no more reason than they just want to get along. No more, no less.
But that stuff does not fly with people on an international level who don’t take to the little schtick. The cuteness is not appealing, it is gross and childish.
Now, if Caribbean countries don’t change course and at least engage the Trump administration in a meaningful, mature manner, we all could suffer.
I don’t know about anyone else but I want to go to the USA is I want to. I’m no terrorist or communist.
Be mindful you folks, get right on this!
