Support NeoGAF

The U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council, a non-partisan group, said the Trump administration is preparing to announce the changes to Obama-era policies in a June speech in Miami, according to the Daily Caller.

The report cites two unnamed sources who said a bipartisan trio of senators -- Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) -- pushed for the reversal.

The Daily Caller report surfaced days after Trump met with Pope Francis, who facilitated the deal between Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro.

What is the point of this?

 

[polyh3dron]

Both sides are the same

What is the point of this?

NOBAMA

 

[super-heated plasma]

If Trump is so eager to do the opposite of everything Obama did, someone should tell him that Obama never resigned.

 

[WedgeX]

What is the point of this?

Hanging onto the past and sticking it to the commies.

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

What is the point of this?

If Obama did it, it must be undone.

 

[RPGCrazied]

What is the point of this?

Obama did it.

Plus he is erratic with trying to change the subject right now. He and his administration is under FBI investigations not to mention Trump obstructing justice.

Tell him Obama lowered taxes on the rich

 

[_Ryo_]

What a fucking child.

 

[Rubenov]

This is regression

 

[tedrotheredro]

That's dumb

 

[TheCochese]

This is regression

Trump/Pence 2020

This is regression.™

 

[theaface]

Of course he is. Got to make sure he reverses everything Obama does, just because.

 

[Caj814]

What is the point of this?

The Hill: Trump to reverse Obama’s Cuba policy

The and only reason

 

[Izuna]

It's an illegal policy, no?

 

[Bronx-Man]

How much of a douche do you have to be to actively say "fuck diplomacy"

 

[Akuun]

If Trump is so eager to do the opposite of everything Obama did, someone should tell him that Obama never resigned.

Trump is so knee-jerk about everything that I wouldn't be surprised if someone's tried this already.

It probably just didn't take for whatever reason.

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Somedays I just can't believe he won: his entire campaign was built on hated for Obama.

 

[sphagnum]

Fuck Menendez

 

[sangreal]

christ, when is menendez going to jail already?

 

[RPGCrazied]

And we know Obama is the much better man. He still hasn't called Trump by name on anything he is done. Its like he is just waiting for his imminent implosion.

 

[danthefan]

If Obama did it, it must be undone.

Obama did it.

Plus he is erratic with trying to change the subject right now. He and his administration is under FBI investigations not to mention Trump obstructing justice.

The and only reason

Ah of course. God I despise him.

 

[AuthenticM]

eat shit and die, Trump.

 

[Fried Food]

It's an illegal policy, no?

If the president does it, it's not illegal.

Their parents are all Cuban. What the fuck

 

[RinsFury]

I fucking hate Trump so, so much.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Menendez is a fucking traitor. I hope he gets primaried.

 

[hitme]

What is the point of this?

To keep the Mexicans out. /s

 

[IISANDERII]

What is the point of this?

Communism is the arch enemy of fascism.

 

[jimmypython]

GOP are laughing?

Is GOP punishing the US because they had a black president last time? This party has to die.

 

[snacknuts]

If Trump is so eager to do the opposite of everything Obama did, someone should tell him that Obama never resigned.

And never slit his wrists in the shower.

 

[Elandyll]

It would be petty and childish af, but I am more and more persuaded that for Trump it's really about revenge after the roast they gave him at a correspondent dinner a few years back.

He won't be happy until he tries to literally erase Obama's Presidency (which of course is impossible).

 

[gutter_trash]

Trump is just doing the opposite of everything

 

[riotous]

Their parents are all Cuban. What the fuck

Don't a lot of Cuban immigrants hate Cuba? iIRC some of the most vocal opponents to Obamas reversal were Cuban; and some supporters of course.

 

[fredrancour]

Their parents are all Cuban. What the fuck

Isn't that common? I thought anti-Castro Cubans who fled here (and their families) were statistically likely to be harshly opposed to any kind of reconciliation

Many in the GOP are not for this.

Older Cuban exiles are for this. That demographic has shifted in recent years with younger Cubans wanting the embargo lifted.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

How about successfully passing one of your policies rather than continuing to invoke the name, Obama?

 

[Dai101]

How much of a douche do you have to be to actively say "fuck diplomacy"

At least this orange

 

[Shoeless]

Well hey, if you're trying to take America back to the 50s...

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

What is the point of this?

Trump's screwed over poor Americans enough, now he's gunning for the poor Cubans too.

 

[HardRojo]

And never slit his wrists in the shower.

And was reelected.

 

[kmax]

America is becoming a shithole by the day.

Trump be Trumping.

 

[Futurevoid]

I have family in Cuba. Reversing these policies will likely kill the private sector that's flourished in the country since the thawing of relations.:/

Fuck this orange twat.

 

[Ogodei]

Letting a group of bitter Cuban rightists override policies that will help their Cuban brothers today (and not just the regime, trade liberalization will be good for openness in Cuba as a whole).

Good thing Menendez is on his way out.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

That's exactly what this is. "Petty and childish af" is Trump to a t.

 

[King Tubby]

Fuck all of this. We need to reopen relations with Cuba already. It's been fucking decades. Those senators should be ashamed.

 

[Kensation]

The Daily Caller report surfaced days after Trump met with Pope Francis, who facilitated the deal between Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro.

TAKE THAT, POPE! USA USA USA

 

[RPGCrazied]

Right? They want to open arms Russia who is way worse then Cuba. Yet Republicans are in bed with Russia.

 

[antonz]

This is the exact stuff Hannity and others who have his ear have repeatedly called for. They have openly called for the reversal of everything Obama ever did to completely erase his legacy as a President.

They want Obama to be nothing more than a footnote in history oh yeah there was a black president who accomplished nothing.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I feel sry for the US.... Having such a powerful nation regress like this is painful to see. Hope the people take the right lessons from it for future elections.
