trump likes cuban cigars

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37509546

Apparently there is an accusation of trump spending $68000 in 1998 in cuba trying to set up casinoes. If so, in violation of embargo laws...........

Like I said in another thread, if he did, good for him.

The U.S. Embargo of Cuba has been bullshit from the get-go.

Point is that he may have broken some laws, though he may not be alone in this.

My guess, he feels just like paying taxes following the law is for stupid people. The rich don't get caught very often and when they do little happens in the end. Pay a small fine and move on.

Only the foolish think his companies will be in a blind trust if elected!

Anyone who breaks the stupid Cuban Embargo laws is a lawbreaker in the tradition of Rosa Parks IMO.

It may well be, but elderly Cuban-American voters in Florida likely disagree.
