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.

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

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...

Well, isn’t that special! Good for Trump btw.

Remember this!
One of Trump’s biggest enemies is ALL about statehood and bailing out Puerto Rico. CESAR CONDA, who happens to be the powerful Lobbyist/immigration lawyer who OWNS PAUL RYAN and Marco Rubio! He brought them both to DC politics.

SELL OUTS: Paul Ryan, National Review Call For Puerto Rico Bailout For Hedge Fund Masters & Lobbyist Pals

http://gotnews.com/tag/puerto-rican-statehood-council/

[snip]

Ryan is being lobbied hard by Cesar Conda. That name may sound familiar to you. He was Senator Rubio’s controversial, pro-amnesty chief of staff.

[Conda] has called himself a “conservative mentor” to Paul Ryan on his LinkedIn and was once Ryan’s colleague at the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution where they worked together on open borders immigration proposals. Together they killed an immigration restriction bill in 1996. (Matthew Rees, “Rookies of the Year,” The Weekly Standard, April 15, 1996).

Welcome to Socialism 101,interesting how a part of the United States under this most liberal administration turned into Greece or Venezuela.

Oh and another article commented that if he bails them out,he’d have to do the same for Illinois.They are also in debt up to their eyeballs.

Donald Trump does not know that Puerto Rico is NOT incorporated. It is an UNINCORPORATED territory of the U.S.

That means that the bonds issued through Puerto Rico are from the U.S. itself.

That means that the U.S. is in default on these bonds as of midnight last Monday.

So much for “full faith and credit”

If Trump says you have too much debt, then you have way too much debt.

He knows all about going broke.
