Trump on return trip to Washington predicts demise of Cuba, warns Colombia, threatens Greenland, and the echoes of his words resonate with a chilling familiarity. The man, once a symbol of American power, now seems to be veering into the realm of the erratic, the aggressive, and frankly, the alarming.
The air crackles with a sense of impending doom for Cuba, according to Trump’s pronouncements.
