How can you insult a people, a Puerto Rican community that you want to be its president, a worthy president should not be as openly racist as Donald Trump, hide the natural he naturally comes back at a gallop, Donald Trump is a pathetic racist.

Are you not aware of the garbage issue going on in Puerto Rico? He didn't call the people garbage. Do your job and do some god damn research if you missed it all over the news.

Taking jokes seriously for political purposes.

The Puerto Rico trash problem has been growing for decades. With a population of around 3.2 million, the island generates about 3.7 million tons of waste yearly. Despite being small, the island’s landfills are full and there’s no proper recycling infrastructure. This trash crisis affects everything from health to the economy so solutions are crucial for Puerto Rico’s future.

We are 500BC Native AmeRican discovered in Florida. We speak Spanish because Spain came to US like all of Europe. We still have our blood from the reservations. Most of us are on the continent with voting power. We relate to conservative views and we vote for closed borders. Whether the majority likes us or not. We understand that it's always about a bigger threat like when the British were coming and my ancestors earned our right to be in the continent our ancestral land. We just sprout North AmeRican. Blessed 🇵🇷🇺🇲🏹💅🪖🥊😘

It sucks for Trump. Puerto Ricans are very mixed between votes. You'd get Republicans and democrats alike. Im Puerto Rican and still will be voting red. It's not the right joke. Definitely inappropriate.
