The Cuban content creator and comedian Kenny Robert has once again made waves on social media with a viral video in which, impersonating former President Donald Trump, he responds to the controversial statement made by Alejandro Cuervo on the show Destino Talk, where the actor claimed that he has not bought a power generator “out of solidarity” with the Cuban people.
"I swear on my children, on the health of my children, that out of solidarity with my people, I haven't bought the plant," Cuervo said during the interview, a statement that quickly ignited the debate among supporters and critics.
Kenny didn’t take long to respond, and he did it in his own style: with biting humor and satire. Using a filter that turns him into a cartoonish version of Trump, the comedian sent a fake “official message” to the actor:
“Good night, Alejandro Cuervo, I am the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Through this video, I want to let you know that we no longer want actors in this country. I feel very sorry for you, but tomorrow morning, you have tickets purchased by me to return to Cuba.", he says.
"I admire your work a lot, but no more artists in this country. You are a very good actor, and very handsome, you look great. When I go to Cuba, I promise to do a play with you. The Caricato award this year is for you. Dear Alejandro Cuervo, do you know what my dream is? To have a Lucas award”, he adds."
The video has gone viral, accumulating thousands of comments that celebrate the comedian's wit and joke with phrases from the sketch itself. "The Caricato award is for you" or "I love the President's accent" flood the social media platforms. Some users even comment that "the gay side of the president came out" or that "Trump caused more trouble than Jessica."
Among the most popular reactions are:
"No, wait, I can't handle this!"
"I'm dying already, I can't take this anymore."
"Mr. President, Roxana Forbello and the canine brigade"
"I thought it was the Goddess speaking."
"She says her dream is a Lucas award... Wow, you're amazing!"
In a humorous tone, the parody not only mocks Cuervo's statements but also reflects the tension between some Cuban artists and the exile community, which criticizes them for moral ambiguity or inconsistency between their discourse and actions.
Kenny Robert, who has created viral characters like his famous Jessica, now adds this "Cuban Trump" to his repertoire, establishing himself as one of the most popular digital comedians among Cubans both on and off the island.
