How Does Trump hails U.S. indictment of former Cuban president Raúl Castro Work?

Trump is saying "good job!" to the U. S. for bringing a legal action against Raúl Castro, the former president of Cuba, kind of like giving a thumbs-up after someone wins a game.

Like a Game of Accusations

Imagine you're playing a game where you accuse your friend of taking your toy. If the teacher agrees with you and says your friend did it, that's like getting indicted, it means there's a legal accusation against them.

Raúl Castro is like the friend who took the toy, and now the U. S. is saying he did it. Trump is happy about this because he thinks it’s fair or maybe even fun, like when your favorite player gets in trouble for something silly.

Why It Matters

This is kind of like when your school decides to punish someone from another class. Trump might think that helps him or his friends, so he cheers them on with a "good job!" and says "hails", which is just a fancy way of saying "cheers" or "congrats."

It’s all part of a bigger game, one where countries accuse each other, and sometimes even cheer for the accusations!
