President Trump is amazing. He can even speak fluent Spanish. You didn't know that? Well, he does via the aid of some AI in which you can not only see him speaking Spanish in his own voice. As a bonus we also see Secretary of War Pete Hegseth with his own voice tell us some AMAZING things I hadn't heard before about Operation Pluck Maduro Out of Venezuela.

Is his vocabulary and accent Puerto Rican (NYC) or Cuban (Miami area)? Spanish didn't have the unifying literature like Luther's Bible or the Tyndale/KJV Bible and Shakespeare. Geography also contributed to regional variation.

No, I just don't think its influence was as pervasive as the Luther and Tyndale/KJV Bibles. By the time Cervantes was published, the Spanish empire in the Americas had been expanding for almost a century. This diluted the linguistic influence of Cervantes's novel.
I read Don Quixote de la Mancha, in English back in the 80s. I found it deeply sad, though my parents' stage of life may have influenced my perspective.
