Sandro Castro, the grandson of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, released a strange social media video on Monday criticizing President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. The video, filmed in the ruins of a once-thriving Havana apartment complex now decimated by communist rule, featured Castro shirtless, waving flags, and promoting a regime-seized beer brand while urging leniency for illegal migrants.
In the video, Castro holds Cuban and Mexican flags, standing inside an empty pool amid the decayed remains of the Riomar building, which was seized by the Castro regime decades ago. The scene reflects Cuba’s ongoing deterioration under communism. With “Stay strong, Latin America” scrawled across his chest, Castro condemned President Trump’s policies targeting illegal migration, claiming, “Not all of them are criminals. They earn their money honestly and help strengthen your country’s economy.”
Castro, 33, then invoked a beer marketing campaign tied to Cristal Beer, a once-reputable Cuban brand now synonymous with the failures of socialism. “President Donald Trump, not even Cristach has any effect on you anymore,” Castro declared. He concluded his video with a surreal sequence—removing his shirt, kneeling, and making belching noises while others waved flags in the background.
Despite widespread poverty in Cuba, Sandro Castro lives in luxury, running the VIP-only EFE bar in Havana and throwing extravagant parties. His December birthday bash—complete with Cristal beer, cocktails, and a white dress code—sparked anger from Cuban exiles, who denounced it as a grotesque display of privilege in a country suffering daily power outages and food shortages.
Castro’s online antics have included cat face makeup, pigeon peace rituals, and a video claiming Portugal’s soccer victory was due to Cristal beer. In another bizarre post, he spars with someone dressed as a bear in a parody of the Mortal Kombat video game.
His latest anti-Trump message has been widely mocked for its tone-deafness and for coming from a man who enjoys the benefits of a regime known for silencing dissent and imprisoning its own people. While attacking the former U.S. president, Castro remains silent on the Cuban government’s brutal suppression of free speech and religious liberty.
