Gleeful bootlicker Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump is a better president than Ronald Reagan, and that the U.S. has Cuba in its sights after sparking a massive regional conflict in the Middle East over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump finished the job that President Reagan failed to do!\u201d the South Carolina Senator told Fox News late Sunday night. \u201cI am a big admirer of Ronald Reagan, but I\u2019m here to tell you that Donald Trump is the gold standard for Republicans, maybe any president, when it comes to foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaduro? Everybody talked about him; well, Donald Trump\u2019s got him in jail!\u201d Graham went on. \u201cCuba\u2019s next. They\u2019re gonna fall. This communist dictatorship in Cuba? Their days are numbered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump spent much of last year modeling himself as the \u201cPresident of Peace\u201d in a desperate bid to secure himself the Nobel Peace Prize\u2014an honor granted to his Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama. Despite his dubious claims to have solved six, seven, and sometimes even eight conflicts worldwide, Trump was overlooked by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. <\/p>\n

The 79-year-old MAGA leader earlier this year wrote to the Norwegian Prime Minister, who has no connection with the Nobel Committee, stating that he no longer feels \u201cobligated to think purely of peace.\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump has since invaded Venezuela to capture former President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, who now faces narcoterrorism charges in a New York federal court. He\u2019s threatened similar action against U.S. allies Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland, the last of which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a fellow NATO member.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, he launched an all-out assault against Iran after negotiations over the repressive Islamic regime\u2019s nuclear armament program failed. His ongoing attacks, carried out in tandem in Israel, have sent shockwaves across the region, as Iran launched retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and even Cyprus. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe president is feeling like, \u2018I\u2019m on a roll\u2019; like, \u2018This is working\u2019,\u201d an administration official told The Atlantic on Sunday about ongoing discussions in the Situation Room.<\/p>\n

Speaking with White House reporters Friday, Trump floated the idea of a \u201cfriendly takeover\u201d of Cuba, noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is engaged in talks at a \u201cvery high level\u201d to potentially \u201cmake a deal\u201d with the communist regime. <\/p>\n

The country is enduring a deep economic crisis marked by severe shortages of fuel, food, and medicine, along with prolonged blackouts and sky-high inflation, largely prompted by a tightening of U.S. sanctions and the collapse of subsidized support from Venezuela\u2019s oil sector following the Trump administration\u2019s capture of Maduro in January.<\/p>\n

Rubio, who is of Cuban heritage, has been blunt about the White House\u2019s aims in Havana. \u201cCuba\u2019s status quo is unacceptable,\u201d he told reporters last week. \u201cCuba needs to change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast contacted the White House and Pentagon for comment on this story. \u201cAs the President stated, we are talking to Cuba, whose leaders should make a deal,\u201d a White House spokesperson said. \u201cCuba is a failing nation whose rulers have had a major setback with the loss of support from Venezuela and with Mexico ceasing to send them oil.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gleeful bootlicker Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump is a better president than Ronald Reagan, and that the U.S.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3668,1072,801,5852,462,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-499895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-cuba","10":"tag-donald-j-trump","11":"tag-iran","12":"tag-lindsey-graham","13":"tag-maga","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
