The Nimitz set sail from Bremerton yesterday, bound for Norfolk, to be prepared for scrapping.
Seems she will make a show the flag grand tour of Latin America, on the way. Wouldn't it be funny, if she steamed into Havana harbor, as God and Savior Trump declared Cuba the US' newest colony?
USS Nimitz Begins Last Cruise Ahead of Decommissioning
“Detailed planning is currently underway for Nimitz to visit several partner states on the ship’s circumnavigation of the continent of South America, enroute to its new homeport,” Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Peter Pagano said in a statement to USNI News. “Additional details on the upcoming Southern Seas 2026 deployment, such as participating and embarked units, will be released before it begins.”https://news.usni.org/2026/03/09/uss-nimitz-begins...Steve

Puerto Rico is a US Territory, correct?
They got leveled by a hurricane fairly recently, during Trump's
first term. Trump helped them rebuild by tossing out paper towels, but that was about the extent of the help he was willing to give.
Since Cuba is also full of brown skinned people, why would Trump
want to colonize it? MAGA cannot possibly be onboard with that, it would just be providing an avenue for non-whites to legally enter the USA. And Cuba surely requires a massive influx of money to rebuild or modernize the Country, MAGA gonna be onboard with that?
When is MAGA gonna hold Trump accountable to do some MAGAing ???
MAGA displays the flexibility of limbo performers when Trump tells them to do a 180. Astonishing displays of ignorance and hypocrisy by Trump and MAGA.
MAGA,MVGA,MIRA, and MCBA.
Failing on all of them,lol.

It isn't as obvious as Venezuela's oil. But there are benefits to TrumpCo. Remember Tim talking about his vacations in Cuba, and the quite nice resorts he stayed at? That is Trump the God's wheelhouse. Trump casinos. Trump golf courses. Trump whore houses. The net sifter says those resorts are overwhelmingly owned by the Cuban government. Trump's quislings could sell those resorts to Trumpco, for nickles (no more pennies) on the dollar, the same way Yeltsin sold off Soviet state enterprises to his cronies.
Besides enriching himself, Trump the God would also endear himself to a Florida voting block, which is still fighting the civil war they lost 65 years ago.
it would just be providing an avenue for non-whites to legally enter the USA.
I would expect Cuba to be a de facto "protectorate" of Shinyland, as it was from 1902 to 1934: officially a sovereign, self governing country, but the US assigned to itself authority to intervene in Cuban affairs whenever it pleased. So no migration to the US, but plenty of cheap labor available to staff the Trump properties around the island.
And Cuba surely requires a massive influx of money to rebuild or modernize the Country,
Outside of the TrumpCo properties, Cubans will be given a lecture on "personal responsibility".

As a Miami resident, it's worth reminding everyone that: i) Florida is full of Cuban exiles who have opinions about Cuba; and who are ii) mostly Republican, and therefore very key for helping your friends win Republican primaries; and that iii) Florida is a pretty important state, both nationally and for Trump personally.
So in addition to dreams of the swankiest casinos and resorts, there's a very good domestic political reason to not ignore Cuba in Trump's "2026 Regime Change World Tour."

Hey- it works here in the US!
As the administration now assures us- millions of Americans have suddenly been freed from “dependence on the government”.
