Governor of Puerto Rico endorses Trump for President.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

“I ask all Puerto Ricans who are listening to go vote,” the governor said in an interview on Telemundo. “They have to go to vote, exercise their right to vote and evaluate who has represented being a person who thinks about Puerto Ricans and their needs at the most difficult moment. It is Donald Trump.”

7. My GAWD - that is the only answer that could possibly be!!!!!!

THIS is F**KING insane!!!!!!!

REALLY!!!!!!!!

The way he abused and demeaned that island - ignoring the fact that the island is inhabited by human beings - Americans - and this "politician" would endorse him?

I can only hope that the Puerto Rico I know can see through this BULLSHIT and send the message that they too know what a fraud and disgrace IQ45 has been to their own territory as well as the rest of these United States!

10. He's still abusing PR.

A few weeks before the election, he floats the idea of $13B in major funding to the island to sway votes in his direction. Come November, he won't recognize them again.

We know the Carmen Cruz, Mayor of San Juan isn't fooled or cow-towed by him. She's stood up to him before, doesn't give credence to his lies, and won't back down. Maybe she needs to make more noise this month to raise the consciousness of the island again to make sure PR isn't buffaloed into voting for the tRump chaos.

The Governor is fighting her own battle for re-election against five other candidates. I don't see how this stance will help her in her quest. She's basically admitting she - and the island - are being blackmailed by tRump.

The Republican governor has repeatedly brought attention to her rapport with Trump, suggesting at a February rally that the president would otherwise not provide federal funds to the island territory.

11. We can be so guilty of

"out-of-sight, out-of-mind" that it is easy to forget the chaos that took place in Puerto Rico a while back.
Yes, those that were heavily involved in the fight to get what was right now need to step up and remind us all again about how abusive IQ45 was, and continues to be, to those who have suffered so.
Even from here in the mainland, I can't imagine even ONE PERSON believing that BULLSHIT from the Governor!

6. lifetime repub, not so surprising nt

[Eugene]

8. Shades of Ukraine.

From the article, this is the end product of extortion.

Be nice to Trump and say nice things about him, and the administration release $13b in Congressionally appropriated aid.

9. I didn't realize you could buy endorsements with a few rolls of paper towel.
