Democrats have now pivoted to comparing former President Donald Trump to former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. 

That's right. The Trump assassination attempt occurred just days ago, and the Democrats are already back to inciting hatred of Trump by comparing him to the likes of Castro.

This likely will come as no surprise to the reader. It will also come as no surprise that, according to Fox News, it is far-left members of MSNBC and CNN, among others, who have pushed the Trump-Castro comparison.

This includes MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

Here's the claim

What appears to have set members of the left off is Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC). It was not necessarily what Trump said, but it is the fact that he spoke for over an hour.

"This is not just the longest convention speech in the modern era. It is the longest convention speech in the modern era by a very long way," Maddow said.

She continued:

The previous record holder was Donald Trump in 2016, when he gave what was then the longest convention speech that had ever been given in the modern era. This—he passed that by, I think, about 20 minutes. We knew this was going to be a long speech when we got first the excerpts and then the full text of it, scripted at probably about an hour. But this came in over an hour and a half long.

It was at this point that she described Trump's speeches as a "Fidel Castro kind of experience."

Maddow, as mentioned, was far from the only left-wing commentator to make such a statement. CNN's Paul Begala, for example, said that "somewhere in hell, Fidel Castro is jealous" of Trump.

Team Trump responds

Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung has released a statement responding to Maddow and MSNBC's reporting on Trump's convention speech.

"These idiots either have a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome or [are too] stupid to realize what an inspiring speech President Trump gave at the convention," Cheung said.

"But," he added, "we shouldn't expect more from dumba---- who weren't even at the convention and tried to deceive viewers by reporting from a television set in New York that was made to look like they were in Milwaukee."

Here, Cheung was referring to the fact that Maddow and other members of the MSNBC used an LED screen to make it look as though they were actually at the convention, when, in reality, they were in a New York City studio.

Trump, himself, has not responded to the Castro comparisons.
