If his supporters actually cared about any of this it would make an impact. But him doing business across an unjust embargo isn't really going to rattle anyone
Since I don't support trade embargoes, even against loathsome regimes like that of the Castros, it would be hypocritical to call out Donald Trump for circumventing it, if in fact he did. It does highlight a sensibility that the rules don't apply to him, though. Although, Chelsea Clinton taking a private jet to a climate change roundtable that was only a five hour drive away also demonstrates that.
While it's probably true that most people won't much care, the Cuban-American voters in Florida, an important battleground state in this election will very much care. This is why he has made a point of going to Florida and talking to Cuban-Americans, a key voting demographic in Florida, specifically telling them that he believed in the embargo and would never do business with Castro/Cuba. So they may very much care about this news as well as the fact that he lied to their faces about it.

Ever hear from Cuban-Americans on what they think of the glorious wonder woman ex-beauty contestant voter goddess Clinton used to "score points" against Trump during the debate? Seems they have opinions on everything in that community.
