His warm & fuzzy relationship with Putin.
The following statement he made regarding Cuba...
"50 years is enough , " Trump said in an interview with the Daily Caller published Tuesday, referring to Obama's decision to re-establish U.S. ties with Cuba.
"I think it's fine. I think it's fine, but we should have made a better deal," Trump added. " The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

Oh okay. I thought you were implying that Trump had acted illegally, which seems to be what the article is trying to suggest. There appears to be nothing of the sort here.
Although I am not a Putinista, like some on FR, I see no reason not to explore common ground with Russia, such as our joint interest in fighting Islamic extremism. As for Cuba, 50+ years of sanctions against Cuba achieved no results beneficial to the US. The Castros are still in power, and both we and the Cuban people are worse off because of the unrealized gains from trade between our countries. As I understand it, Trump paid a consulting firm to explore potential business opportunities In Cuba *in the event sanctions were relaxed or lifted*. What is the crime in that?
