One of Castro's former lovers, Marita Lorenz, was also recruited. She was given poison pills to put in Castro's drink.

But Castro found out about the attempt and is said to have handed her his gun to use instead.

"You can't kill me. Nobody can kill me," he said, Ms Lorenz told the New York Daily News, external. "And he kind of smiled and chewed on his cigar. I felt deflated. He was so sure of me. He just grabbed me. We made love."

You ever hear about the charisma of historical dictators and wonder how the fuck we got Trump?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Trump is like Hitler, but probably stupider and less coherent. Which is quite a feat, like managing to limbo under a bar that's already on the floor.

Not sure why we ended up with this moron. I guess fate has decided that the death of the US should be as pathetic and despicable as possible. At the least, maybe such a pathetic downfall will be a warning to other countries for a generation or so against following in any Trumpian footsteps.

... hopefully.

Maybe.

If we're looking at things optimistically.

You can't write a scene like that because readers would call it unrealistic.
