I think Toddler Trump made his vile remarks about Puerto Rico because he is still butt hurt over the negative press

he received over his "Let Them Use Paper Towels!" political stunt after the devastating hurricane that hit PR. It was a stupid thing for him to do, and he was called out for his stupidity by Puerto Rican government officials, by the press, by Democrats, by late-night comedians. And vindictive Don doesn't get remorseful, he gets revengeful. Hence, the trashing of a beautiful place filled with remarkably resilient and kind people.

What a dick he is. I can . . . not . . . wait for him to get dumped on the garbage heap of history.

Saying Trump has a reason to hate is giving him evil credit.

any of his remarks. Probably a lot of false bravado, too. Deep inside, he's terrified of the legal justice that will rain down upon him when he loses and will not be able to order the DOJ to dismiss the many court cases against him.

Always has to pay back. He’ll never ever be the bigger person . He’s made himself a mess this time. Paper towels won’t be enough.

Trump doesn’t have a reason to hate. It’s in his core. He is fundamentally a misogynist, racist fool.

He calls Mexican immigrants "RAPISTS and DRUG DEALERS"! Puerto Ricans are referred to as "GARBAGE HEAP Islanders". But notice he says NOTHING about Cubans fleeing the horrible conditions in Cuba that has dominated them for close to 70 years. Lifting the embargo on Cuba would be a great start.

If the INSULTS hurled at Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens by right, they should NOT VOTE for tRump. That means those in Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Michigan, and New Jersey. Latinos in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, and elsewhere, VOTE for Kamala and Tim. THEY SEE YOU as they SEE all of us!

What has been happening is that his group hates dark skinned people. They lump those who cross the border illegally with whoever they feel aren't "real Americans." That's why Puerto Ricans are easy targets for them. As are Haitians in Ohio who were given legal status. Their brains can't compute the difference.

If only they would apply the same immigration rules to Cubans, Florida would again be Democratic.

This thing is a slimy bag of resentment. He will never forget what was said and done to him as he walked the perfect walk they were just too stupid to see. Until hell has frozen over or he kicks off the planet he will remember every person who said something he did not like or what they said. He roils inside but he seems to have made it a way of life and a life that has, for the most part, given him what he wants as he really does not want what most of us do. He wants power, not respect. He wants power and not friends. Get on your knees and you can be welcomed into the power rooms but only the small rooms. The big rooms are made for those who worship for years and allow themselves to be taken down by it. This is why Trump used this guy, he made it ...funny...
