We’ve reported multiple times about the heinous nature of Communism in Cuba and how it leaves nothing but damage in it’s wake. Our readers are well aware of Communism’s largest failure, some place called the Soviet Union. We’ve also watched as Venezuela’s socialism experiment is rapidly failing leaving nothing but starvation and riots in its place.

While many who watched President Trump’s speech are pearl clutching over his daring to call North Korea’s evil little fat dictator “Rocket Man,” and others are running for their fainting couches because he Said Bad Things about Iran, still others are in shock regarding what he said about Communism and Socialism.

He’s right. Let’s take a look at the tape shall we? The sections regarding Cuba and Venezuela start at 30 minutes in. 

Needless to say, the reaction to this and specifically the reaction to this statement is laughable.

From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems. America stands with every person living under a brutal regime. Our respect for sovereignty is also a call for action. All people deserve a government that cares for their safety, their interests, and their well-being, including their prosperity. In America, we seek stronger ties of business and trade with all nations of goodwill, but this trade must be fair and it must be reciprocal. [Emphasis Added]

This from Hillary’s former speechwriter is super tone deaf.

"We call for the full restoration of democracy in Venezuela" says Trump, after saying US does not seek to impose its way of life on others

Susi! Communism is NOT a country! It is an IDEOLOGY! Big…very very YUUUUGE difference there sweet cheeks.

Meanwhile The New Republic decided that mainlining tinfoil was the way to go. Seems that Trump bears to strong a resemblance to Muammar Gaddafi!! I kid you not.

How unhinged do you have to be to hear a speech denouncing brutal regimes and think "this man is a brutal dictator"

THIS WAS GOOD TRUMP!

Here we have a President who called out terrorists, dictators, and the evils of Communism and Socialism. Yet supposedly he resembles a dead dictator??!! You cannot make this stuff up.

Cuba’s Communist experiment is such an abject failure that the government didn’t let its citizens know that Hurricane Irma was going to land right on top of their country! Now it will take decades to recover. Venezuela is starving, citizens have no food, no money, no electricity, not even the basic medical necessities, and yet Maduro continues to party like a rock star and blame the world instead of taking responsibility for choosing socialism instead of his people.

President Trump’s speech was, IMO, a strong speech. The likes we haven’t heard in far too long from a United States President. It was straightforward, blunt, and much needed. Will Cuba, Venezuela, and those who have decided that if we market socialism or communism in a new way it will finally work, listen? No. But others will.
