The Obamas enjoy rain-soaked tour of Cuba's Old Havana – video

 

President Barack Obama and his family toured the streets of Old Havana on Sunday during a historic, if rain-soaked, trip to Cuba, the first by an American president in nearly 90 years. Obama’s visit has been criticized as a photo-op to a dictatorship that’s made few concessions to earn it, least of all on human rights, but Obama argues this visit will let him make the case for freedom to average Cubans, and both countries can benefit

I think a President Trump definitely keeps it open......a few billion dollars worth of upgrades.....a change of name, "Bay of Trump"......an essential Carnival Cruise Line destination.

This is his first stop on his tour to check out his preferred asylum locations 8+ months from now.  Next come Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea.  You're wondering why he just doesn't go home to Kenya??  He has no useful skills, and would not be able to support himself!
