We should sell Puerto Rico back to Spain for $1. I will pay for it.

And he is correct again. Bailing out Puerto Rico would set a precedent to bailout states and other local municipalities.

Pouring money into that sinkhole is a waste. It is a net drain. Cut it off and give it away.

Hillary will make it a state.
2 guaranteed Dem Senators and 3 or 4 Reps.

For not being a “true conservative” Trump seems to be on the right side of a lot of things.

How about build the wall, deport the illegals to Puerto Rico and then turn it over to Mexico?

Couldn’t he at least offer Something? That is, perhaps a road map to start getting out of debt and not let it happen again. Offer some cash for the particulars to get the ball rolling. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. It would go a long way...
