Where are the Trump supporters on this thread? Huh

Happens every time Trump does something absolutely indefensible and unspinable.

Not every time. Many a time they find Trump's indefensible behavior cute and masculine. Then they are out in force.

Red avatar hack here. I don't really care about him breaking the embargo, but if this hurts him in Florida, I'll be happy.

The point isn't that he broke the embargo per se, which I think most of us will agree was a terrible policy and its removal is a shining accomplishment of the Obama administration.  The problem is that Donald Trump continues to refuse to play by the same rules as everyone else.  A lot of people wanted to do business in Cuba but didn't out of respect for the law.  For someone who threatens to round up and deport millions of people over petty semantics, you'd expect a little bit of consistency.  But, the only consistent thing about Donald Trump is that he will make money no matter which laws get broken or who gets hurt.

Whether he's stiffing contractors or stealing from employees, Donald Trump never makes money honestly.

Fair point. He definitely doesn't seem to think that the rules apply to him.

I'm sure Seriously and Fuzzy Bear are brainstorming right now about how to spin this as Obama's fault.

The more I read about Trump the more I appreciate him. He even managed to help  our Cuban friends ignoring embargo imposed by brutal American imperialists!  A regular tough guy!  He is sure to get additional votes among Latino people .

To be fair, I may have once violated the Cuba embargo. This could have happened to anyone. Tongue

This is dangerous for Rubio if it keeps hardline Cuban-American voters home on Election Day.
