Incompetent Trump saying that Raul Castro disrespected Obama by not

greeting him at the airport in Havana.

** This is what we could expect from a Trump presidency, lies, innuendo, ignorance, and gossip with NO IDEA of protocol or a manipulation to produce scandal. The visit isn't official because Raul Castro didn't make an official invitation to Obama. The two sides are still working out a lot of issues so this is simply "A visit" and protocol is that the President of Cuba will see him tomorrow morning. Wow, not.

Wow, President Obama just landed in Cuba, a big deal, and Raul Castro wasn't even there to greet him. He greeted Pope and others. No respect

The Republicans have found another way to empty government of committed career civil servants.

You get elected president, and if you're invited to visit anywhere, you just sit on your jet with your tiny hands balled into tiny fists, and refuse to come out until whoever you think should greet you coming off the plane shows up.

Until then, allow me the Walter Sobchak response from The Big Lebowski.

I am SO embarrassed that our country's IQ has slid so far down the scale.

Apparently he wanted to meet Obama, but that didn't go over too well.
