He’ll never follow through. It’ll be like the health care plan: Always coming “in a couple of weeks.”


Sadly it could get him some votes. But hopefully folks that care about PR remember hurricane Maria and see through this scam.

But, doesn't walk the walk. PR will remember the lack of post hurricane aid, and they will vote against him.

Trump mistakenly thinks that brown people in PR can be bought for a roll of paper towels. They will be aghast at the news that he wanted to sell the island to someone rather than invest in them at the time when they needed it the most. They are not stupid!

Too little, too late! The hour of reckoning is here. Besides, never count your Trump dollars before you get them. Talk is cheap, and Trump talk is cheapest of all!

or will ever reach Puerto Rico.

Not a penny. It's a lie.

Aid packages are approved by the House.

Not a heavy thinker in that whole family. He is buying votes now with our money.

it's another thing to actually release the aid to Puerto Rico.

The checks in the mail PR - but sorry - he also compromised the USPS.
