Just goes to show even with Cuban at the debate, Trump is not intimidated.

Am I missing something here? This says to me Trump paid for an exploratory into a project in Cuba, but there was no follow up. It also has the word anonymous in the story as well. It appears he’s being accused of breaking the law because he paid somebody to take a peek at Cuba for him.

Reeks of desperation, as well it’s the extreme leftist rag Miami Herald. I don’t trust the source, and the way it’s written tells me it’s an attempted gotcha.

Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts paid at least $68,000 to a consulting firm in late 1998 in an attempt to give Trump’s business a head start in Cuba if the U.S. loosened or lifted trade sanctions,

There's the whole story. Not only did they not "try" to do business in Cuba, he did not do business, and that's according to this article.

Exploring what to do IF, as the quote above says, Cuban sanctions were lifted doesn't even mean TRUMP meant to do business there.

He could have been interested in his competitions' moves if it because legal.

Bwaaaahhhhh! 28 years ago? unsubstantiated allegations. Is this all the have going?
Why cant they address National issues? Illegal immigration, Tax policy, occupying middle east countries? $20 trillion in debt, veteran health care? Saudi Arabian assistance to the 911 hijackers? the corruption of the FBI? So many real issues of substance. A marketing consultant 28 years ago? Hilarious. Let’s see if Hillary every violated some laws -— WOW!!

Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts paid at least $68,000 to a consulting firm in late 1998 in an attempt to give Trump’s business a head start in Cuba if the U.S. loosened or lifted trade sanctions, according to the front-page Newsweek report, titled “The Castro Connection.”

Some of us believe that the tidal wave of investment in Cuba caused by lifting the embargo would have drowned communism in about 10 seconds, and should have been done unilaterally decades ago. In any event $68,000 planning for "if" is peanuts.

It really is bizarro world because here you have these communists trying to paint Mr. Trump, the ultimate capitalist, as a communist, while everybody knows the people doing the painting are the communists.

From the headline I figured Trump bought Cuban cigars.

Much ado about nothing.

Since the press is going back to the 90’s have they looked into the possibility that Slick Clinton’s Lewinski cigar might have been a Cuban?

Such a media tactic might work, if he wasn’t running against Hillary Clinton.

Is THAT all they have got?

I’m more interested in why North Korea is using DELL computers!

Yes, while actions tell a story. There is a huge difference of a politician and a businessman.

For instance, his views on the Iraq war is a non subject (although already proven he did NOT support). He was not a politician, had no classified Intel, no briefings. It just doesn’t matter.

These people are stupid. Their 20 year old story will change nothing

Man, they are digging up ancient dirt about Trump, but it would be “improper” for Trump to bring up the hundreds of Clinton scandals from the nineties. The media truly disgusts me.

Basically, he was thinking ahead of the curve. If the U.S. was improving in relation to Cuba, he would take advantage of the situation.

Trump breaks embargo on Cuba? So frickin’ what. Zero went to Pakistan when American citizens were prohibited from travelling there. Oh wait, maybe he wasn’t an American citizen then.
