The 1950's Cuba that is the reason they are what they are today!

Cuba in the 1950s was characterized by the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, widespread corruption, and extreme inequality, with Havana serving as a luxurious tourist hub for American gambling and organized crime. The decade was defined by escalating political unrest, culminating in the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro, which overthrew Batista on January 1, 1959.

HIs ancestors and much of the Miami Cuban elite are descendant from the Batista class who fled when Castro came to power. They long for those "glory" days and are natural Trump supporters.
