        Most people in Puerto Rico speak Spanish as their first language and many have brown skin. Could that have anything to do with it?

        Trump's problem with Puerto Rico is that the people who live there are all Puerto Rican.

        In fairness, they have voted several times not to pursue statehood.

        Technically correct, but not the whole story. The status-quo side boycotted the referendum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican_status_referendum,_2017 …

        Isn't that how elections work? They're decided by the people who show up and vote. The 2012 vote was in favor of statehood w/ no boycott.
