Former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke: Trump suggested that maybe the United States could consider selling Puerto Rico. That happened shortly after Hurricane Maria devastated the island in the late summer of 2017.
It makes one wonder: If Puerto Rico were for sale would Putin be the buyer?
Sadly, It’s not about the people, it’s about the money.
Such a perfect summation of Trump.
Will it benefit my bank account?
Will it benefit my brand?
Will it reduce the effort I have to exert?
Trump liked to kick Puerto Ricans out of his projects.
Now he’ll kick them out of the country.
Puerto Rico is a loser property in Trump’s mentality.
Just cut the losses and get out of there.
