        Don’t forget, Trump stuck Puerto Rico with a $33,000,000 defaulted loan when his shit golf course went into bankruptcy. @realDonaldTrump

        LOL. Only an ignoramus would imagine that PR will just now have severe financial problems. They've had them for decadesm

        Perhaps they’d have a little less financial trouble if Trump hadn’t stiffed them for $33,000,000. Just a guess.

        Does that also explain why every window of almost every house has steel bars?

        Why are you bringing bars up? What does it have to do with trump’s $33,000,000 defaulted loan? Your pivot sucked.

        What does that have to do with trump screwing the territory out of billions of dollars. Puerto Ricans are Americans. So...

        Puero Ricans are largely poor because of their culture, not whatever Trump may have done. And read the WaPo fact check on your 33M claim.

        @realDonaldTrump Maybe if Trump paid back the $33M he owes them this would help the people of Puerto Rico.

        PR has about the same pop as Connecticut. CT debt is FAR higher than PR!

        Plenty of time to talk finances AFTER they get rescued/helped. Finances won't matter if everybody is dead!

        Crime is the biggest deterrent to visiting Puerto Rico. Unfortunate because the island could bring in big money with tourism. Common sense.
