El Funky, Deportation and Trump: Cuban rebels’ American satire
Is WTF an El Funky? This Playboy and Deportation is becoming a dynamic duo in 2025. Donald didn’t even think about him. But we are here. Cuban rappers face deportation procedures at home in free speech. Well, he might be back in Cuba to sing soon.
El Funky is the sound of the song “Patria Y Vida”, a bright 2021 protest anthem that ignited the Cuban government. This song is against communism, and people notice it. Even American lawmakers have noticed it. Florida Senator Marco Rubio used the song as a political weapon.
Funky Man is a card with Maga Hermano, and it’s now 30 days since he was forced to leave the country. He applied for residence under the Cuban Adjustment Act, a law that aims to provide safe havens to Cuban dissidents.
“If I could vote, I would vote for Trump,” he said recently. “About Cuba, he is the most powerful president.” The Maga crowd did not rescue him, but there was hope.
María Elvira Salazar, a Republican from Florida, is working to keep him here. “El Funky is a political refugee and deserves full protection of U.S. immigration laws,” she told Politico. “We are working with USCIS to make sure they understand the serious risks of torture and political persecution he faces when he returns to Cuba.” Maybe he could make a red hat with the words “Maca” – making Cuba great again! Drive that magazine chaotic place here.
He is seeking help. “I have 30 days to leave the country or I will be deported,” he said on Facebook. “I asked all Cuban brothers and sisters who know my anti-communist history and the MPs of this country who need your support more than today.”
No, friend. Trump is helping him to have a lighter complexion in Maga.
Donald Trump announced Tuesday (May 27) that he plans to fully pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, the reality TV couple is known for their hit show Chrisley Swork Weark Best.
Chrisleys became a household name to showcase its perfect, southern, faith-driven family. These are all facades. In 2022, the couple planned a plan that deceived Atlanta banks over $30 million and tried to avoid federal taxes. Brupp!
Now, despite being sentenced to jail, they have been awarded a card without Jill – courtesy of Trump.
