Donnie Dumbass is on the case... right?

I mean, US presidents take care of our diplomats during volatile international incidents through a combination of informed historical perspective, deep study of available intelligence, listening to expert advice, sober and rational analysis, and prudential decision-making.... don't they?

Oh... this POTUS..... awww, crap!

Students. Workers. Even business people (!) who supported Ortega are tired of the repression and the rollbacks on liberty and democracy. People are being killed for merely SAYING they want Ortega and his wife (the Vice President... nepotism anyone?) to stop with the Marxist/Leninist tactics.

It is a shame that US citizens have to evacuate, but that is the situation in CubaZuela BoliviAgua these days.
