Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.
Nei Solis: PR is not to blame for the attitude of some people. Because if there’s corruption, the ones who don’t take the money are the actual Puerto Rican people. We are all not the same.
Chayanne Cruz: Truly, the President does not offend - he is correct! I’m not a big fan of his but I gotta give it to him - Puerto Rico is an island of corruption.
Luis Santiago: With these politicians we have here, be it Red (Pro-Commonwealth Party) or Blue (Pro-Statehood Party), they contract people so that the contractors give them a % of the contract. Trump is right!
Julio Moreno: Of course it is! Why don’t teachers and students here have the same things that they have in US classrooms? Because our local govt receives the money from the fed govt and we never receive it!
ISaint Corlo: Of course it is! We are 20 years behind!
Santos Perez: We must thank Trump who dared to say it! Past Presidents knew and they just looked the other way.
Edgardo Torres: The politicians who lie to the people - yes - they are corrupt. But not the islanders themselves.
Gonzalo Tubens: When Trump says it, it’s because he knows and has seen something.
Karlos Medina: Of course it is! They should audit us so that they can see for themselves!
Jaime David: Puerto Rico, No. The politicians we have voted in - Yes.
Rafael Munoz: Without a doubt! Political Corruption is already CULTURE!
Jose Luis Pagan: He’s the only one who has stated the truth and the truth hurts.
Alexander Mercado: Decades of Corruption and ineptitude are the consequences of what we are living under. This is a reality, whether you like it or not.
Raul Vazquez: Not the most corrupt, but certainly in the Top 5.
Luis Alexis Soto: And those of you commenting are accomplices of corruption and you will be voting for the same parties expecting different results.
Wilson Ocasio: He is talking about the govt, so it doesn’t bother me that he’s telling the truth. That’s why we got rid (of Ricky Rossello).
P.S. I have also ‘screenshot’ all of the replies in Spanish that I’ve translated (for my records).
Ping.
Yesterday I heard Shemp Smith saying that POTUS Trump is lying about the amount of Money that FEMA has given to Puerto Rico while he was hyperventilating about Money from FEMA being redirected to the Southern Border.
I would disagree with Trump that Puerto Rico is the most corrupt government in the U.S. The corruption in Puerto Rico is amateur corruption because they get caught. The professional corruption is in DC and New York and Chicago and all the other cities and states where they steal like crazy and get away with it

The government of Puerto Rico has been running a Ponzi Scheme for years.
I lived in Latin America for years in the Army and traveled to a number of Latin AMerican countries. The call it “The Mordida”. The Bite. It just a matter of course. It doesn’t bother them because they accept it. Like we accept taxes. In a way they are better than we are. The don’t even try to deny it. We pretend the USA isni’t Like that. The last three years have been a serious wake up call to many AMericans because they are just now realizing how delusional we have been. In a way our corruption is even more insidious because our middle class pretends it doesn’t exist. At least they are honest about it. Moreover, look at their GDPs. Overall their “corruption” dwarfs ours even though they are all 100% invested. Everybody gets a turn at the bite. Here our GDP is so much larger even though only the wealthy get their beaks wet the amount involved dwarfs theirs.
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!!!
