I like how the article title is "U.S. does not believe Cuba is behind sonic attacks on American diplomats" Yet the article <title> is "Trump to pull diplomats out of Cuba, but think Havana is behind attacks"

Heh, since when does Trump have any clue what’s going on.

  I'd suggest since sometime before he entered politics and immediately ran a successful campaign to become president despite no prior political experience. Probably before he went into television and became highly highly successful there without prior experience. I'd probably go all the way back to sometime before he became a billionaire in real estate.

    Success does not imply awareness of why it happened, or in fact much of anything. I mean, it’s a joke that he never wanted the job to begin with, instead aiming at inflating his own ego. It’s not even clear he reads memos his own staff writes him. If the man appears to act rationally, it seems to be incidental rather than by design. Trump is amazing at convincing people to keep treating him seriously, I’ll give him that. What exactly are these assets of his worth billions? What successes has he had? The only thing he’s sold since the 80s is his face. That doesn’t mean there’s anything happening behind it—being the president is more than looking in the mirror. Last I checked, he’s only avoided being in deep debt to the IRS due to flexible accounting. Of course, when you base your brand on your face, it’s hard to speak confidently about its value at all.... something he continually exploits to inflate his image.

  I think in this case (and many others), he's being attributed to decisions that weren't made by him. These courses of action are presented to him, if at all. Administrations are massive things.

  Or it's just missing an "s" > … thinks Havana …

    That theory doesn't make sense if you read the article.
    - grzm 9y ago
      Granted. I'm just looking at minimal difference.

  Seems like the article also has problems with negating verbs: "The Cubans, who called for the meeting, promised they were taking the matter seriously, but raised their own concerns that two Cuban diplomats had been kicked out of Washington despite more proof that the government was [NOT] involved."
