@realdonaldtrump: "Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth"
Twitter @realdonaldtrump ^ | 08/27/19 | President Trump

Posted on 08/28/2019 9:26:29 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Tweet: "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, I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to Puerto Rico!"

The approaching hurricane is WHY he’s tweeting this.

He’s telling the pols there not to try it again. He WILL put them in prison.

Romney was always very engaged with what was going to happen with the bonds.

A rule of thumb that you can almost never go wrong with, is "any place where spanish is the primary language is a shithole".

They do if they’re in the States on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November!

'A hurricane is approaching Puerto Rico within a few days, and he decides to Tweet this now? What good can come of this?'

Exactly. When Puerto Rico needs help, Trump is going to bypass the Peurto Rican government, so the funds aren't wasted.

My opinion...ought to be yours.

Going weak in the knees, are we?

I’ll say “He is putting them on notice.”

You have to be a resident of a state or of DC to vote federally, so I don’t think just showing up that day qualifies.

If they move here and establish residency, then yes - but then they are New Yorkers or whatever, and not really Puerto Ricans .

NY don’t matter, but let’s hope a bunch don’t move to FL!

I am normally 1000% with POTUS but this is just a really, really stupid thing to say to a bunch of people with a hurricane bearing down on them. Regardless of how corrupt their government may be.

He can pick up the phone and do that. Instead, average folks coming home from trying to buy water will read this as an attack on themselves. Winning? Not!

I didn’t say it was a good idea. He has to get jibes out there. That is his nature. PR is pikers compared to DC.

Well if you’re referring to voter fraud, then yes, of course, until we crack down anyone can vote that way. I was just talking about what they legally cannot do without establishing state residency, which has nothing to do with “belief”. The law is the law.

It’s a rainstorm. Only the panicky media believes otherwise.

Sounds like you've been triggered by my speaking the truth of the spanish-speaking shitholes

Please feel free to mention the name of any non-shithole country you can think of that uses spanish as its primary language.
