Positive spin: he was ahead of the curve, exploring what would happen if the embargo was lifted, he wanted to be ready. Leading, not from behind. If the next debate asks such questions he should ask, with a long, pregnant pause, “Really, seriously, that is a question?”

Trump would probably do away with that embargo if Obama hadn’t already done so.

He was just doing what a successful, resourceful businessperson would do. Thinking ahead and formulating game plans. Speaking of questionable business tactics has anyone looked into one of Her Heinious' big supporters, Warren Buffet? Ever have one of those annoying Kirby salesman knock at your door to offer to clean your carpeting for "free"? And then turn a simple 20 minute demonstration into hours of high pressure sales tactics to sell you a way overpriced vacuum cleaner with finance terms that would embarrass a loan shark? Kirby is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, this goes on under Buffet's watch. Buffet is supposedly superior to Trump when it comes to financial and business acumen, yet he allows one of his subsidiaries to implement such an outdated, sleazy business model.
