The Jones act only allows American Ships, Cargo and Crew to dock in American Ports.

Unfucking believable.. Puerto Rico is in a catastrophic state of horror..

This isn't a well-known thing, I'm wondering how he even knows about it.

I doubt if anybody on Fox News has talked about it recently. (?)
That's the only way he would have heard about it.

in a response on another thread that he hears something new and if, by chance, he retains the terminology he runs with it. Even though he has no idea what it means he just has to share as if he does.

I'm guessing, in this case, he heard that we'd have to suspend the Jones Act. So he decided he'd be against it because he thinks it would fool people into believing he understood it with the added bonus of making him look all powerful and presidential and stuff.

If anybody in the "liberal press" is in favor, then he has to be against it.
Whatever it may be.
