This is nuts. Legacy of a threat from the USSR, no excuse for some of Castro's human rights abuses, and of course Cuban exiles (many in Florida = swing state) are very opposed to improved relations while a Castro is in power. They did leave for good reason.
But this action by Trump isn't Trump - I'm sure he'd love to open golf resorts, casinos, and bribe his way to profit from improved relations with Cuba,
This is an ideological move - from capitalist fundamentalists in the GOP, who can't get over the fact that they failed to invade or destroy Cuba - but with all the blackness in their authoritarian hearts, will continue to try to destroy it.

Just like the good old pre-Castro days.
Washington Post: As part of an ethics pledge, Trump’s company has vowed to pursue no new foreign deals during his presidency, making a potential foray into Cuba off limits for now. Yet, according to one industry expert, a presidential directive restricting efforts there by Starwood or other hotel chains would, in effect, neutralize a chief rival’s ability to gain an early advantage.
kingdragonfly: Bernie Sanders brilliant takedown of Trump's Lies and Hypocrisy
Outstanding!
Bernie is REAL Presidential material.
re Trump's "tax reforms" for the super-rich: I particularly liked the reference to Trump giving himself a 5 billion dollar tax cut.

At least he's helped make some of best news headlines I've come across.
This from New York Magazine:
House GOP Shocked to Learn That Infamous Con Artist Can’t Be Trusted
freitasm: And the rumours of White House staff being told to get counsel starts running now.
All speculation of course, but I've seen several comments on Twitter that staffers have been barred from seeking outside council by Trump and Bannon, but many are nervous and therefore are doing so mostly in secret.
