he's probably still blaming biden for this
You say this as a joke but I'm willing to bet 50% + would unironically do just that. There's something in their mind that just refuses to let them admit they've made a mistake, ever. So the alternative to being wrong is being completed deluded and divorced from reality, but hey, to them its better than admitting they were wrong apparently.

Relavant portion, translated, from the article:
The case of Hector Luis Valdes Cocho: From activist to ICE detainee
Hector Luis Valdés Cocho, known for his political activism and criticism of the Cuban regime , faces a complicated legal situation in the United States. He is currently in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Broward Transition Center in Florida.
Valdés Cocho gained notoriety as an independent journalist, exposing abuses in Cuba. However, in recent months, he has been the target of accusations of alleged financial fraud, which has generated discontent among his followers and affected his credibility. Several people have publicly accused him of questionable practices, including financial deception.
Specific details about the charges he faces have not been released, but his presence at the Broward Transitional Center in ICE custody suggests he could be deported to the island.
Oh my goodness... you're telling me an outspoken Trump supporter has been accused of grifting? Well, I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you! (obvious /s)

This community really fired up since the US election lol
"Trumpy, you got some 'splainin' a-do!"
Famed Nixon and Reagan supporter and Cuban nobility exile Desi Arnaz. His pastimes included drinking and prostitutes. He'd be a trump man.
Edit: fun fact, his family went into exile not with the Cuban revolution with Castro, but the one that put Batista in power. His father was part of the corrupt Machado government. People were not happy with the aristocrats being fat and happy during the depression. He liked to portray himself as a rags to riches story but curiously also went to one of the most elite private Catholic high schools in the states with Al Capone's son in the middle of the depression. Give me a break.
Apparently he was arrested back in November for failing to appear for arraignment and been accused by another Cuban activist for being a scammer
Well, he WAS running with his peer crowd.
He just wanted a free trip back to Cuba. 😂
"Oh no, if it isn't the consequences of my actions!"
Leopards got him
I could easily find articles on his being in custody, but I didn't find any references for his Trump support. Where should I look?

[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]
Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna... the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.
[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]
Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.
[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]
Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight... These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.
[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]
Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.
[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words "Your donation can make a difference" appear in white text on the screen.]
Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.
[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]
Useful idiot
They just exploit stupid
I won't say "good", but there are few more deserving.
I will.
Good. A fascist is suffering for their actions. I hope everyone who chose not to vote for Kamala suffers more for their decision than everyone who voted for her.
Apparently not even the "good" brown people are safe.
You can't make this shit up
Lol. Lmao, even.
Wait I thought all illegal immigrants voted blue?
Lmfao. Living his best life. 🫡
