I remember that Anime News Network actually had an article that a Bush ad loosely had an anime pic (it looked very ghetto as if it were made in paint) that was based off of Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun to make him look some kind of yakuza hitman. I'm guessing someone who made that ad really loves Japanese anime and yakuza movies. And I doubt he wants to waste time and it would be bad trade relations with Japan in the future considering they are a big economic partner.
Yeah that's a good point it would be pretty stupid to even try banning would be a waste of time and as you said would be bad for the economy. But more than anything else that pathetic attempt on the creators part is extremely funny.
Edit - There is no political view involved...
