CUBA IS READY TO FALL,” Trump said.

CUBA LOOKS LIKE ITS READY TO FALL, I DON’T KNOW HOW THEIR GOING TO HOLD OUT…BUT CUBA NOW HAS NO INCOME. THEY GOT ALL OF THEIR INCOME FROM VENEZUELA, FROM THE VENEZUELAN OIL. NOW THEY’RE NOT GETTING ANY OIL. AND CUBA IS LITERALLY READY TO FALL, AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF GREAT CUBAN AMERICANS, AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
