"Trump mulled selling Puerto Rico"

[archives]

"President Trump mulled selling Puerto Rico as the territory struggled in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, former acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke told The New York Times."

"Duke, who served in the role for four months, told the Times on Friday that she was shocked when the president raised the suggestion of “divesting” or “selling” Puerto Rico."

“The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,” she said. “Can we outsource the electricity? Can we … sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?”

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the three million people living in Puerto Rico American citizens?

Trump must see himself as Uncle Pennybags, maybe he could trade it to Kushners, Jared has a lot of experience milking damaged real estate, or better yet, swap it for Greenland, three million American citizens for a chunk of ice

United States citizenship

On March 2, 1917, the Jones–Shafroth Act was signed, collectively making Puerto Ricans
United States citizens without rescinding their Puerto Rican citizenship.

To qualify, an individual must not have been a resident of Puerto Rico within in the last 15 years.
You must become a resident of Puerto Rico by December 31, 2035, and you must reside there
for at least 183 days a year. You also have to do the paperwork, filing an application with the tax
authority there.

In Washington D.C., however, there is uniform agreement – Puerto Ricans would eventually lose
their U.S. citizenship. ... Presidents and members of Congress have said Puerto Ricans could lose
their U.S. citizenship immediately if Puerto Rico were to become a new nation – either under
independence or free association.

If Obama said he wanted to buy Greenland, it would have been so bad, that it would have followed him for the rest of his presidency.
But Trump does so much stupid shit, I totally forgot he tried to buy Greenland. This is very funny/sad.
