    Why is it Trumps responsibility to rebuild all of Puerto Rico’s infrastructure?

    He did what was required. It was a great response. Those who complain know nothing

    Again for the umpteenth time, Puerto Rico has no infrastructure to rebuild, the island is and was a slum

    You're just an ignorant trailer trash fucktard who needs to shut the fuck up! The World Bank classifies PR as a high income economy.

    The economy of Puerto Rico is classified as a high income economy by the World Bank and as the most competitive economy in Latin America by the World Economic Forum.[16][17]The main drivers of its economy are manufacturing, primarily pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, and electronics; followed by the service industry, notably finance, insurance, real estate, and tourism.[b][c] The geography of Puerto Rico and its political status are both determining factors on its economic prosperity, primarily due to its relatively small size as an island; its lack of natural resources used to produce raw materials, and, consequently, its dependence on imports; as well as its suzerainty to the United States which controls its foreign policies while exerting trading restrictions, particularly in its shipping industry

    LOL, all that says is that the rest of Latin America is a bigger slum than Puerto Rico...............

    Seriously you see a high income economy here? If so you are mentally ill, but I think that we already proved that issue

    LOL high income, or dirt poor?



    High income.................sheesh

    Everything on this thread. Do you honestly think those one or two pictures you found somewhere of La Perla in P.R. represent the whole island or population?

Obama didn't brag.

    We've had at least five natural disasters occur since Twittler was selected -- three hurricanes, the concurrent fires out West, and now the wildfires in California. Maybe if we pretend that they're all Chinese hoaxes we won't have to do anything about them.

    Obama couldn't brag; because it would have interfered with his back swing.

    Coming from another racist, that's pretty ironic.
