Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt. Congress approved Billions of Dollars last time, more than anyplace else has ever gotten, and it is sent to Crooked Pols. No good!....
....And by the way, Im the best thing thats ever happened to Puerto Rico!

(5,914 posts)He talked about it as if he'd never heard of such a thing before.
I doubt very much that he even now knows the first thing about Puerto Rico, other than that it has a "Mexican" name.

Or, does he need one right now?
Yikes, he is describing the GOF, (Grand Old Fascists) and his own Administration pretty well. You talk about projection, Emperor Bedbug is the epitome of it.

Lashing at his fellow citizens in Puerto Rico many of whom have served with valor and distinction in government and the military wont delay the coming straight jacket.

Sportswriter Rick Reilly explains during an interview promoting his book Commander in Cheat:

Q. In the book you argue that golf might explain some of Trumps foreign policy choices. How have Trumps golf interests potentially impacted his administrations foreign policy decisions?
Look at what Trump did with Puerto Rico, turning his back on them after the hurricane. Well, a lot of people dont know that, before he was president, Trump was involved in a golf course down there, outside of San Juan. The course hired the Trump Organization to come down and try to build business. They paid the Trumps a lot of money to jazz it up, get Trump down there, get his celebrity friends down there, get it noticed. But it didnt work. They were like, Okay, were going to fold up shop. Thanks for nothing, Mr. Trump. But the Trumps were like, No, no, we can still do this. Go take out a big loan from your government and well make this happen. Well get this course going. We just need more time. We might even get you a PGA Tour stop. So they went to their government and borrowed $32 million. But that didnt work either. Business just got worse. And then the Trumps just pulled up stakes and left. Just left the Puerto Rican people holding a $32 million loan. So Im not saying he abandoned Puerto Rico because of the failed golf deal. Im just saying hes turned his back on them twice now.
