The Cuban embargo has been a pretty non partisan thing in here to the point that some gave credit to Obama even though they still thought he wasn't born here. To equate not supporting reinstating bans/embargo to trump hate rings hollow, almost as if you must support everything he does or you are a hater. Sounds like a patriots fan. Lol.
Actually, it's kinda the exact opposite.
It's not about supporting everything he does.
It's about how quickly people come out to oppose his position. Even when his positions shifts (which as been the case all too often) those who opposed his first position are now in opposition to his opposite stance.
The embargo is a subject on the back shelf in most American's minds.
People have opinions on it, but it's not typically a strong one.
Nobody chastised Bush or Clinton or Bush before him, etc. because of their indifference on the embargo.
Suddenly Trump does something and people are complaining.
This is a cigar forum. We're anti-embargo by definition.
But if Trump removed the embargo tomorrow, many of the same talking heads blasting him today would blast him tomorrow for his actions.
You can take that to the bank.
