Great post!
Unfortunately it makes POTUS Trump look like he is ill informed, which gives our Enemies the Rats credibility in their attacks on him.
In this day and age, a Politicians statements can be easily checked for accuracy and disseminated to the Public, unless that same Politician is a Democrat of course.
We don’t call it the DNC Media for nothing, and that includes some FNC Shows like Sheppard Smith.
POTUS, Donald J. Trump knows how successful the Island of Puerto Rico can become, if only the Democrat Party in PR was totally destroyed, politically. Puerto Rico can easily lead the area in tourism, services and manufacturing. Any Puerto Rican that resides in Puerto Rico or stateside is absolutely insane to ever vote for any Democrat Party crook, criminal, thug, drug dealers, etc. Wise up Puerto Rican, “Amigos”...you have voted for this corruption over and over again!!! Your real ally, friend, leader in business and growth on the island is POTUS, Donald J. Trump...period!!!
Agree! At one point about 15 years ago, we had a Republican Governor, Luis Fortuño, who was in office for only one term (2009-2013) and who is a decent, intelligent individual, but the island is so corrupt within its core, that it's hard to get that all cleaned and sanitized in only 4 years, aside from the fact that Fortuño was a sweet, calm man and what Puerto Rico needs is a TRUMP -- a scrapper who doesn't give a sh*t what people think of him and he plows through to get things done and to get things done correctly.Trump knows corruption because as a private businessman, he's been exposed to it for so many decades.
Trump knows the island very well because he's dealt with Puerto Ricans all of his life in NYC, including PR politicians, he's done a lot of business with PR, and as head of the Miss Universe Organization in the past, he's gone to the island on multiple times. In fact, the Pageant was held on the island two years in a row in the early 2000's, and he was there for a few days. In 2001, the pageant was held on the island and the Puerto Rican contestant won (Denise Quiñones). Trump is seen in video flanked by the Puerto Rican governor at the time, Sila Calderón. So his history with the island is a long history and that's why he knows the island is so corrupt.
It's nothing personal against Puerto Ricans -- just like it's nothing personal against the Chinese or the Greenlanders or the Danish. Trump knows corruption and can smell corruption.
Trump, like myself grew up on the streets of New York City during the 1950s & 1960s when mass numbers of Puerto Ricans took advantage of their American Citizenship to escape the corruption & poverty of their native Island home land. I also attended a vocational high school in Manhattan rather then my neighborhood high school in Queens, NYC. There, I was exposed and had to mix with a student body that was 33% Black, 33% Hispanic & 33% White with a small mixture of Asians. I loved it...it prepared me for my upcoming worldwide career in dealing with different races, ethnics and cultures across the world.
As such and from my own personal experience and traveling to PR for business.....that Puerto Rico folks are hardworking, they love American and they love to serve in our military services...period.
Trump knows the well also...it is really a terrible shame that Puerto Ricans do not realize what a friend, ally, supporter & champion they have in POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! “SAD”!!! Wake up, Amigos!!! No Democrat is ever your friend...case closed!!!
In full agreement with you. Trump actually CARES and has COMPASSION!
Entregaron? Has nothing to do with Turkey. It means “was delivered.” The entire message means something like “Bottled H2O has been at Ceiba for a year, and was never delivered.” If it is still there, then people should be informed and go get it. If bottles are unbroken, the water should still be good. Who is responsible for this waste?
See my Comment #27. You folks who are there should verify that the water is still in Ceiba and then start contacting service and volunteer groups to get that water distributed. It is easy to carp and complain, but action is what gets things changed. Fifteen years ago I discovered a case of severe fiscal neglect by our local government. I started calling people, eventually hearings were held, and now many $millions a year are being returned to the people.
and that is NOT the only cache like that either
That water has been under the sun for over a year. No good.
