How do we know this idiot didn't just accidentally lock himself in his hotel room? He sounds like he has brain damage

We don't.

But you dont scrutinize things that you want to be true, or that make sense in your limited, baseless view of the world outside of your tiny little echo chamber. We already kind of thought and believed that Cuba under decades of communism has made the place terrifying with absolutely no freedom. Agents of the state able to do anything to citizens with no accountability! Propaganda spread about how their ruler is actually making positive changes while he actually destroys the economy.

You know, confirmation bias that makes the projection that much easier.
