"Like the vast majority of Cubans living in the U.S., he fully supports Trump.
“If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump,” he says. “He’s the strongest president when it comes to Cuba.”

Trump isn't strong enough to rip toilet paper.

Cuba and Cubans who came to US have a specific relationship with the US that is specific to itself, I don't know a ton beyond the basics, but I do know there is a very strong conservative element going on that is surprising until you stop and think about what an immigrating Cuban (illegal or legal) might face in US culture (a much larger country with a military that has at points tried to invade the country you came from) that must feel like a tidal wave you better not resist.

The Cubans that left often had gotten their shit taken by the Cuban government. It's actually why you see Cuban cigar brands, and then the same brand, but a different manufacturer that's NOT Cuban on the American market. A lot of those families had their farms and marques taken by the Cuban government, who still uses them today.
Most of those families that left sold their marques to large corporations, that manufacture them today. It's also why those cigars are almost universally terrible. They trade off the name.
All that to say, a lot of former Cubans want to see the Cuban government suffer for things like that. It's the one I know of specifically, but there were more. I couldn't say if they have a, "King in Waiting" mindset about it, with regard to their eventual possible return to Cuba, but thats the gist I get from my times interacting with them.

The wonderful nature of the "fuck you got mine" mindset when you don't even got yours.
