Profile of Haiti's "Barbecue"
www.theguardian.com
Well, ever since I first saw him (always in photos) and having read many descriptions of how Jean Jacques Dessalines looked (by people that actually met him, needless to say some of the statues and busts of him in Haiti makes him appear as some sort of a handsome man, but every first hand description make mention of his ugliness to the point it would impact people and intimidate others in his presence.) I always thought they both look very similar.
Who knows, Barbecue might even be related to Dessalines since he impregnated Haitian women up and down Haiti. It’s said Dessalines literally had a girlfriend in every town, e-v-e-r-y town. He had status, access to great weslth and was known to be brave. It’s well known for many women those qualities trumps ugliness and despite he had an explosive personality falling into rage for the slightest thing. Those qualities actually make some women see them as handsome, even if after they fall out of love they wonder how they ever thought that. Lol
That last part reminded me of what Hipólito Mejía once said. He was a close friend of Peña Gómez and most people agreed handsome he was not, yet Hipólito mention that there were countless times when young and very beautiful women would literally throw themselves at him, even sit on his laps and mentioned they thought he was handsome.
Listen to this woman speaking of Johnny Ventura. I think most people agree he was quite a singer and had much talent when it came to dance moves, but to say he was handsome is pushing it a little. Yet…

Given that, it wouldn’t surprise me if Barbecue has a bunch of Haitian woman falling for him. He could very well have no need for prostitutes (unlike some no -Spanish speaking people roaming around Sosúa.) Just saying…

Jimmy is a problem which quickly could be taken care off by professionals.
Yet as nature abhors a vacuum, the space would be filled eventually.
As in previous Haitian history.

Nals, popularity and power trumps good looks:
It's rumored that Trujillo had many women; PLD stalwart, Euclides Gutierrez Félix, has had his share of young chapiadoras; and if Romeo Santos wasn't a bachata crooner, he'd be just another typical Dominican, and exhibit 'A' for wawawaísmo extraordinaire, with women assuming he's just a motoconchista, and paying the least amount of attention to his piropos.
Heck, even Fidel Castro had Canadian ladies* foaming over him. Barbara Walters found him charming and sexy, too.
Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett. And while Roy Orbison was the polar opposite of a young Armand Assante in terms of subjective good looks, his beautiful singing voice and popularity rendered women breathless, as he whispered sweet nothings into their ears.
Barbecue can do whatever he wants, since "when you're a star, they let you do it."

This guy is a clown. You could airdrop pallets of cash in that country and it would not make a difference.

Just more idiotic trash posted on x and re-posted.
The problem of unsubstantiated hype and misinformation in social media.
Why would moderator JD jones even re-post this trash.
Time for corrupt Haitians to stop whining, stop blaming others for their corruption and incompetence.
Arrange their own affairs, don't give them a penny more.
Intelligent people are aware of social media manipulation.
Gee golly, I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me? Are you friends with the Clintons?Concerned Citizen

The thing about Fidel Castro is that he smelled. He had the habit of spending several days without showering.
Reminds me of a woman I know that once was introduced to a nice guy, but since she didn’t like him among the people of her confidence called him “hediondo” despite he didn’t really smelled, at least no more than what is normal for many guys. Then many months lster I heard my sunt talking about this. The woman had fallen in love with a Cuban and obviously he had more money. He liked to smoke lots and lots of cigars and you know what that means in the smell department. My aunt said in an ironic tone “al otro lo llamaba hediondo, pero de este que es un hediondo de verdad no dice nada.” Lol
¡WEPA!
Proof positive that in some cases, money and status trumps everything: Jediondo, pero con cualto.
Just nuke the shit hole called Haiti. It would solve countless problems and prove we have working nukes.
The videos and stories coming out of Haiti just prove they are barbaric savages. Why would any country want them.

That's the whole thing. He's a loud mouthed POS. He could be easily taken out. They don't want to.
Smells to me like propaganda from one of his adversaries. There was a news cycle last year when the same thing was suggested about another leader, just to be annoying.
Please forget about that.
I saw the US state of the Union and no mention was made of Haiti.
Thankfully.
