It popped up overnight along the Palmetto Expressway in the Miami Lakes area near the Northwest 67th Avenue exit, just north of Hialeah: A billboard comparing former president Donald Trump to the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
“No to dictators — no to Trump,” it says in Spanish, with The Donald and the dead oppressive Communist criminal regime leader facing each other on opposite ends of the giant, bright red sign.
The billboard says it is paid for by Mad Dog PAC, a national political action committee opposed to Trump regaining the White House. They have placed billboards all over the U.S. reminding voters of just what kind of wannabe tyrant the former POTUS is, although this is their first en Español.
“He wants to be another dictator and just as evil as Fidel Castro was,” said Claude Taylor, a former Bill Clinton staffer who is the PAC’s founder and chair.
In fact, Ladra is certain that if Fidel were alive, Trump would find something nice to say about his leadership skills, just as he has fawned over Vladimir Putin and North Korean strongman Kim Jung Un, who The Donald said was a “great leader” in 2019. Trump also said that North Korea had “tremendous economic potential, unbelievable, unlimited” and vowed to help the regime achieve its goals.
Last year, he made the now infamous statement to his pal Sean Hannity about becoming a dictator if he were re-elected — just on Day One though, so he could close the border and “drill, drill, drill.”
Then in February, he said he would encourage Putin to wage more wars and do “whatever the hell they want” to any NATO member country that did not pay its fair share, explaining that the U.S. would not honor the collective defense clause that is the crux of the multinational alliance.
“I said, ‘Everybody’s gonna pay,'” Trump said at a South Carolina rally. “They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay, are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’”
During the campaign, he has as much as admitted that his second term would me marked by a slew of retaliatory actions, an expansion of the power of the Oval Office, interference with the justice system and a massive purge of federal government employees. Even journalists are potential targets, as one of Trump’s allies, a likely cabinet member, said “we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.”
That sounds very much like Fidel Castro.

Your comments are valid and your writing is on point and yet, Fidel is responsible for millions of deaths and the total destruction of a country. Yes, Trump may sound like Fidel at times, but sticks and stones…
Yet countless Cubans risked their lives on rafts, etc. to flee to America while Trump was President!
Keep being a Libtard Ladra!
Whoever believes this billboard has NEVER lived in Cuba under Castro and has no idea how lucky they were and will be to live in America with President Trump!
Muy bien hecho.
Al que le duela, que se ponga pomada. Fidel es igual a Trump.
The billboard is simply a First Amendment right to excersise the opinion of a political party against a flawed candidate convicted of 34 felonies by a jury of his peers.
This would be the equivalent of putting one giant poster of Hitler and Golda Meir at the entrance of Arthur Godfrey Road when I was a kid, and I can assure you that it would have come down immediately. My father died in a Cuban political prison, this is an insult to the history of the Cuban Exiled Community.
”they forget to mention Batista was also a dictator…yet worship another one here in the US”
Like Rubio and his ‘ pimo’ Ted Cruz’s father .
For once this slimy coward who now gets on his knees was correct .
Rubio on Trump: “A con artist is about to take over” GOP

BUNK!
With all due respect, it seems to me that this is an appropriate billboard message to the Cuban community of Miami Dade County. For most of its history as an independent republic, Cuba has suffered from dictators and dictarships, culminating with the ultimate one, the Castro´s Communist dictatorship. Yet, for some unexplainable reason, a large number, if not an outright majority, of us Cubans living here have chosen to rabidly support Trump. As the article in question points out,Trump has expressed his admiration for the foremost communist dictators of today´s world: Russia’s Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with whom Trump exchanged “love letters” as he proudly described them. Like the Castros’ dictatorship, these individuals do not permit or accept challenges to their governments, blame others for their failures, prohibit a free press, persecute, imprison and kill (or attempt to kill) those who dare speak against them, demand and extract unquestioned alliagence from their subjects and ignore the rule of law for themselves while requiring and enforcing it for others. If we would only stop for a minute and were to think about what Trump said and did while president, and says he would do when elected, since he won’t defeat at ballot box, any sane and resonable person that believes in a Constitutional Democracy would by necessity run away from and vote against a dictator wanna be like Trump. Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case here, and a great many of us are, once again, supporting “un hombre fuerte” like the dictators of our troubled and sad republican history.
Trump 2024. Because we cannot survive another 4 years of tyrranical, ficscally irresponsible governing, a politically motivated DOJ, a wide open border, and a CORRUPT Commie-run Biden administration. (I say Biden, but he is only a walking corpse, so perhaps they put another empty suit in his place?) BTW, this is the short list of what we should not accept from our leaders. Regardless, I AM VOTING Trump. He 1. loves America, 2. gave us peace everywhere, including the Middle East, 3. protected our borders, and 4. will put the USA – our beloved Constitutional republic – back on track, to once again be the America we all want: strong, prosperous, and Lawful. M.A.G.A. Don’t be afraid to say it out loud. 🙂
And Please, stop watching the “news” that distorts comments and then using it for your own “news” and political theatre. Trump is as far from Fidel Castro as Miami Politicians are from Mother Theresa.
God, what a bunch of thin-skinnned sensititve snowflakes we’ve become. This is insulting? Maybe to Fidel. Fidel was a smart guy. Trump (who I voted for twice and will again in November) is not. I’m no Fidel fan, Yes, my family lost everything, so spare me your story, I got mine. I was unfortunate enough to be born in Oriente in 1959, but facts are facts. Fidel drove crazy how many US Presidents? He ruled more ruthlessly and effectively (for himself) than any of the Eastern European dictators. he was NOT a good human being. but he wasn’t dumb. he spoke 2 languages. and his multi-hour rallies would make Trump green (with envy).
Thank you Ladra for bringing me his up to our attention. I don’t drive in that area of our ghetto.
Nothing but the truth.
You are a pink leftist through and through. I hope Trump wins so we can rub that smugness off yer commie face.
The billboard is right on target. There are many similarities between the two. Remember when you or maybe your parents supported Castro at first, before he showed his true colors. Trump is a criminal and he will take this country down if he wins again.
Spot on!
I am glad someone is pointing out the similarities between Trump and Castro. Castro was a dictator and Trump is a wannabe dictator. Same personalities.
Trump is a washed-up businessman who just wants to hold on to power and decimate the institutions that made this country great! We need to continue to call him out for what he is!
This Democrat PAC group is oblivious to this communities’ sensitivity to Castro. It will double down on Trump. Great comment on Hitler in Surfside.
Well, Ladra… You’ve shown your true colors. You talk sht about Castro but, in the end, you sound just like another fcking libtard commie. Trump is going to win in November, and I can’t wait to see you and your fellow media $luts going on full meltdown mode.
it is called the 1st amendment – cubans just whine on spanish talk shows when the truth stares them in the face – they claim to have fled from a dictator – they forget to mention Batista was also a dictator…yet worship another one here in the US
I am a Cuban-American. This billboard is not an insult to my people, it is the truth, a warning, and a wake-up call. Trump only cares about Trump. There are far better conservatives, who have not been convicted, who have not incited a riot. Por favor, stop drinking Trump’s Kool Aid.
Yes I would compare him with Castro and Mussolini when it comes to personal traits. He’s a very dangerous affront to democracy and freedom for all law-abiding citizens.
I will never vote for a convicted felon, and further felon-to-be. We need a president who presides, not a clown pretending to be a “populist entertainer” who gives away the store to his very, very, rich friends for personal gain and self-pardon. Last I checked, we are still a democratic republic. Let’s keep it that way.
,
Put one of Adolf Hitler and Netanyahu in Surfside neighborhood. This is a Insult to the Cuban-Americans community.
This is an insult to the Cuban Americans that had suffered jail and drowned in the Florida straights. We support Trump the same way we supported Reagan evil 😈 poisoned snakes that want America 🇺🇸 to become a Communist nation.
Im a person that believes in freedom of speech but when you place an add on with Fidel Castro you have done so much harm to the Cubans in Miami that have lost family members and have been jailed.
This is shameful from your part
Put one of Hitler and Biden in the Jewish community!
Put another one in the Doral exit with Chavez/Maduro instead of Fidel
