Support NeoGAF

[EatinOlives]

The defense, of course, will be "who cares! The embargo has been lifted! Get over it!"

 

[King Tubby]

Somehow I don't think Cubans are gonna be big fans of this.

 

[davepoobond]

he doesnt follow laws. that makes him smart

 

[EatinOlives]

he doesnt follow laws. that makes him smart

But remember, he's the candidate of Law and Order!

*KUN-KUN*

 

[thuway]

Can there be any sort of criminal prosecution?

 

[BigDug13]

But remember, he's the candidate of Law and Order!

*KUN-KUN*

I laughed with my friends when he said "we need to bring back Law and Order". I agreed. SVU is a poor substitute.

 

[Henkka]

"Wrong!"

 

[EGM1966]

I applaud US on this astonishing new reality show: presidential elections.

Sure beats The Truman Show.

Can't wait to see what's next.

Surprised took this long for this kind of stuff to surface but I guess it's timing the reveal for maximum drama.

 

[Poltergust]

Cubans are known to be conservative, but this will definitely not resonate well with them.

 

[mclem]

And he was getting pissy because Obama improved relations with Cuba why...?

Because now he'll have to compete with companies that don't break the law

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yeah this sounds like light treason


This better be brought up in the next debate

 

[Acosta]

Smart!

 

[Cipherr]

This is SO perfect.

 

[tanooki27]

this'd hit harder if we hadn't recently reopened some relations with Cuba. people won't give two shits, I'm afraid. what they gotta do is find some tape of him hurling racial epithets.

that's pretty much the only thing that'd stick at this point

He's already lost the base that would be effected by that.

mm but it'd douse all moderate support. it's out there somewhere...

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Sometimes political satire cartoons are so good thsr they encompass all your feelings and frustrations in one frame.

This is one of them.

 

[Henkka]

His supporters won't give a shit, but what about the feds? He "took advantage" of bankruptcy laws before, yeah, but this sounds more like actually breaking the law.

 

[ChryZ]

He shouldn't be running for president, but away from other inmates trying to poke his orange ass.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Yea. It's not about changing supporters mind at this point. Any person who is willing to have this man I charge doesn't care about what he has done or said or what he is saying he will do.

But you can be sure the FBI cares if they find out he broke the law.

 

[Any Questions]

that's called business, by the way

ROFL

Cunning indeed

Classic SVU>>>>>>>>

I don't know the specifics of the embargo laws and looking around for them online I didn't really find much. Only thing I really found was some banks being fined for doing business in embargoed countries so it seems like more than likely fines would be levied against Trumps business.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Shear genius.

Spoiler

Sorry for the pun, I couldn't resist..

 

[Purkake4]

There seems to be a distinct inverse relation between the number of labels and the overall quality of political cartoons. This one hit it out of the park.

there she blows

 

[itsgreen]

And he will just say it is a filthy liberal lie...

*Nothing happens*

 

[oti]

Hillary's emails did business with Cuba too!

 

[Nemesis121]

You know he's to blame Bill for that..

 

[DragonSworne]

Can the government please seize Trump Foundation? It is an illegal slush fund.

 

[Treo360]

And the band keeps marching on. Nothing to see here folks /s

 

[deadlast]

Someone I know complained how much the liberals are attacking Trump. I was going to say something about how people are just reposting things he had done or said. But then he went into a Johnson support rant. So I didn't bother.

 

[Transistor]

God I wish some of this man's illegal activity would catch up with him but this is a country where the rich get to do whatever they want. It sucks, it really sucks, but there's not much we can do about it. Maybe someday in the future the rich will be held accountable for their actions

 

[Henkka]

Though it has long been illegal for corporations to spend money in Cuba without proper authorization, there is no chance that Trump, the company or any of its executives will be prosecuted for wrongdoing. The statute of limitations ran out long ago, and legal analysts say OFAC’s enforcement division is understaffed, so the chances for an investigation were slim even at the time.

The dream is dead

Looks like the Trump Foundation is about to make another donation...

 

[Condom]

So...is this going to be a single digit page thread on GAF, a not-top-5 story on news sites, and be forgotten before the next debate?

It's Cuba, not Islamic State.

 

[plagiarize]

It's Cuba, not Islamic State.

This is about Florida. If this helps Clinton win there, it will not have been insignificant.

SIIIIIIIIIIIGH

 

[Vagabundo]

If this swings florida to Clinton then I'm happy. Even if he never gets done for it.

 

[NewFresh]

If it gets HRC a few Cuban votes in Florida, it was worth it.

 

[DavidDesu]

Such a shame this didn't come out hours before the debate.. damn! Next one though.. I'm convinced Trump doesn't really want to win this, maybe this is his way out lol.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Welp, there goes Florida.

 

[winjet81]

This isn't going to hurt him at all.

His supporters will say "see, he really ISN'T racist after-all"...

Hillary supporters will say "he's a schemer doing what schemers do"...

Bernie supporters will say "looks like he is comfortable working with left-wing economies"...

 

[BigWeather]

This hasn't gotten much traction, not nearly as much as I'd hoped it would.

 

[NastyBook]

that's called business, by the way

You gotta work harder to get first post, fella.

 

[zethren]

Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up, etc

 

[DrArchon]

This hasn't gotten much traction, not nearly as much as I'd hoped it would.

It only really needs to gain traction in Florida. If it can manage to do that, or if the Clinton campaign/friendly Super PACs can just blanket the airwaves and internet with "Trump paid Castro!" ads, then it doesn't need to make a blip anywhere else.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

The dream is dead

It isn't dead. That just means Hillary is free to beat him over the head with it at the next debate.

 

[The Lamonster]

I don't think this is going to be big news. The best thing that's going to come out of this is the Notorious HRC is going to hit him over it at the next debate and the more ammo she's got, the better.
