I guess maybe he should not use the 'corruption' angle against Hillary...this may very well cost him Florida. No one likes a liar.

Trump lied to the Miami Cubans about his company and the embargo.

As you knowand the people in this room know better than anyoneputting money and investing money in Cuba right now doesnt go to the people of Cuba, Trump told the crowd. It goes to Fidel Castro. Hes a murderer, hes a killer, hes a bad guy in every respect, and, frankly, the embargo must stand if for no other reason than, if it does stand, he will come down.

A company controlled by Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, secretly conducted business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castros 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 Trumps 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 Trumps companythen called Trump Hotels & Casino Resortshow to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.
