A company controlled by Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, secretly conducted business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castro’s presidency despite strict American trade bans that made such undertakings illegal, according to interviews with former Trump executives, internal company records and court filings.

Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval. But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trump’s knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp. Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trump’s company—then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts—how to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.

That makes him smart. :lol:

So what did he do wrong? Plus when is $68K a large amount of money to a libtard? It cost taxes payers 10 times that amount for Malia to attend out of State concerts and smoke pot.

What did Dumb Donnie do wrong?

Your man-crush Marco Rubio is expressing some concern.

So?

Of course it's fine with you "... that a Trump-owned company allegedly violated the United States' trade embargo with Cuba in the late 1990s."

But it has given young Marco at least several moments of pause. :lol:

Newsweek, and the Washington Post, have suspended any pretense of being involved in journalism.

They are wild with hatred.

According to Trump's campaign manager.

1. Trump didn't invest in Cuba.

2. But Trump did indeed spend in Cuba to look for investments?

So Trump's campaign manager basically admitted that Trump, at the very least intended to commit a crime!!

Those people are sharp as marbles!!!!

Let's see how Trump responds to the allegation at the next presidential debate. This is like manna from heaven!

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO

:lol:

[Grog]

No, Forbes.

As a conservative you are duty bound to believe that anything which isn't dripping with red meat conservatism blood and doesn't mindlessly extol the virtues of conservatism is biased against conservatism.

That's one of many reasons conservatives are stupid people.

Says the socialist from a failed socialist country seething with jealousy and anger that socialism has never worked anywhere it's been tried.

This is why nobody takes Grog Von Groggenheimer seriously. Or takes seriously the vast wasteland of frozen tundra filled with bitter, angry, jealous, overtaxed, drunken snowbound socialists who can't get in to see a doctor and want everyone to be as impoverished and miserable as are they.

Grog doesn't have a vote here and his raving opinions and desperate attempts at attracting attention and being relevant by pissing people off are meaningless. Grog is that disheveled looking, unkempt bum sitting in a corner of the local Tim Horton's mumbling to himself over the dregs of a cup of coffee he bummed off of an employee who got tired of his begging. Things have been bad for Grog since Penthouse magazine stopped accepting his raving fantasies for ths Forum section.

We harbor no ill will for the alcoholic, raving Canuckistanian loon in his greatly reduced circumstances. We feel pity for someone who only has his memories of the hot shiksa who led him a merry chase as she laughed at his pathetic attempts at seduction.

....The days of the North American gangsters in Cuba were numbered when Batista fled into exile on January 1, 1959. In 1958, Fidel Castro’s July 26th Movement had denounced the Mafia radio broadcasts from its guerrilla redoubt in the Sierra Maestra for turning Havana into a center of commercialized vice - gambling, prostitution, and drugs. When Castro arrived in Havana on January 8, he vowed to “clean out all the gamblers.” The Riviera and other gangster-owned properties were nationalized, and the Mafia gamblers returned to the United States.,,,
