Here is what JFK said about Batista:
At the beginning of 1959 United States companies owned about 40 percent of the Cuban sugar lands—almost all the cattle ranches—90 percent of the mines and mineral concessions—80 percent of the utilities—practically all the oil industry—and supplied two-thirds of Cuba's imports.
...Fulgencio Batista murdered 20,000 Cubans in seven years ... and he turned Democratic Cuba into a complete police state—destroying every individual liberty. Yet our aid to his regime, and the ineptness of our policies, enabled Batista to invoke the name of the United States in support of his reign of terror. Administration spokesmen publicly praised Batista—hailed him as a staunch ally and a good friend—at a time when Batista was murdering thousands, destroying the last vestiges of freedom, and stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the Cuban people, and we failed to press for free elections.
...I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's policies during the Batista regime. I approved the proclamation which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will even go further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear.

Today, President Elect Donald J Trump tweeted:
Fidel Castro is dead!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 26 November 2016
Is this a tweet of joy? Or shock?
Recall that Trump's "greatest friend" Roy Cohn sat on the board of Permindex (which is implicated in the assassination of JFK) and procured children for the CIA to abuse.
In 1987 Trump bought the CIA/mob money laundering front Resorts International (RI). RI was funding clandestine anti-Castro operations. Shortly after the purchase of RI, Trump faced personal bankruptcy, owing hundreds of millions of dollars. But his pick for Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross who was working for the Rothschilds at the time, managed to arrange for Donald to keep RI, even though RI was what was causing his bankruptcy! Trump kept RI and was later busted for money laundering, not just once but TWICE, the second time just last year when he was fined $10 million for "willful, significant and long standing" violations of anti-money laundering legislation.
