Fidel Castro: Difference between revisions

Line 93:

Numerous leftists, including Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, Sierra Club president Aaron Mair, and Jesse Jackson, issued positive or semi-positive statements in response to the death of a man who killed thousands of people and left an extremely poor third-world country. On the other hand, former U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] gave very strong statements against the dictator, calling him a "brutal dictator" and saying that "Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights".

==Trivia==

*The CIA has made over 600 assassination attempts targeting him, including poisoning his cigars with Botulinum toxin, a TB-contaminated scuba diving suit, exploding cigars, a booby-trap conch shell in the bottom of the ocean, a ballpoint pen containing a needle with a lethal concoction, hiring the Mafia to poison his ice cream (the closest they came to killing him), spraying his broadcasting studio with hallucinogens, as well as getting femme fatale contract agents, although this later backfired. They also tried to lace his shoes with thallium salts, which would make his beard fall out. In fact, he once remarked "If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal."
