President Trump tosses paper towels into a crowd in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, on Oct. 3, 2017. By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 2 at 2:00 PM It’s tempting to view President Trump’s many grievance-filled tweets as angry, indiscriminate lashing out at political opponents. It’s unhinged! It’s unpresidential! They’re “rage tweets!” Etc.
In two Trump tweets about Puerto Rico and a cable news appearance from a top White House spokesman later that morning, both Trump and the spokesman talked about Puerto Rico as if it weren’t part of the United States. And they did so in a way that couldn’t help but make you think this might be deliberate.
— Donald J. Trump April 2, 2019 ....The best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico is President Donald J. Trump. So many wonderful people, but with such bad Island leadership and with so much money wasted. Cannot continue to hurt our Farmers and States with these massive payments, and so little appreciation!
The combination of those three things at the very least seems to betray Trump’s attitude that Puerto Rico is a lesser part of the United States.
Trump & the gop are planning on forcing all the people out of Puerto Rico, putting them in concentration camps, killing them, they want the Island and they don't consider the people of PR to be human, so they can do anything they like to them
WAPO lies.
Just as the GOP did to Hawaii whenever Obama went home for a visit.
Puerto Rico is full of corrupt politicians, until you fix that this “story” will remain the same!!! Focus on where the issues reside and not in your made up fantasy world!
Hipócrita quiere democracia en Venezuela el orangután naranja que no soporta a los latinos ni para los se supone que son ciudadanos americanos Puerto Rico pinche política hipócrita de la USA Invasores con su hipócrita bandera ver la paz provocan el desplazamiento muerte

It should be its own country and not a USA colony.
AaronBlake Puerto Rico=US CITIZENS Start calling them what they are!
The Washington ComPost is a Alt Left propaganda machine. Much like the other 93% of the MSM according to a Harvard study. FactsMatter3
91 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!
We've already given PR $91 billion...how much more do you want them to have to mismanage?
demos run Puerto Rico- they can fix it with the Clinton foundation/-.-./R
Otherize? Is that even a word? Need a deflection from democrat lunacy?
“Otherize” — the intersectional jargon that has not only poisoned our colleges & universities but certain media outlets too.
“seemingly”
Does tRump even know about 🌴Guam? 🤣🤣🤣
Trump is definitely punishing Puerto Rico for what appears to be deliberate mismanagement of aide. Trump is a meanie 😠
Shameful administration 😡
Analysis: The WP seemingly deliberate effort to otherize Donald Trump
They think it’s one of those Mexicos
PuertoRico is the 4th Mexican country
