Puerto Rico and Trump's racism

I will not spend one instant arguing that Trump is a racist. To me, that is a fact.

And I believe that he has a racist attitude regarding Puerto Rico.

Some Puerto Ricans are "brownish," and virtually all Puerto Ricans speak Spanish, (while the vast majority also speak English).

The ignorant, orange-topped turd in the White House didn't know until recently that Puerto Rico is an island, and that Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

He probably thought that Puerto Ricans were another flavor of "Mexican, rapist, thugs," who exist only in his demented imagination.

At this very moment, an American Commonwealth, Puerto Rico, where three and a half million American citizens are suffering, is bordering on extinction.

And at this very moment, our so-called president, as well as the Republican controlled congress, is doing very little to nothing.

It's almost impossible to believe that, in the coming weeks, we won't hear about a horribly large body count. This unimaginable disaster (which is happening at this very moment) could have been one in which less would have perished if help had arrived.

Perhaps, at some point in the future, Donald Trump will be looked upon as a murderer with blood gushing from his hands. (Yes, harsh words. But words I believe to be true.)

Someone should tell Trump and his supporters that if Puerto Rico stays unlivable, millions of additional latinos will move to the mainland.

Where they can vote.

to get out of Puerto Rico -- Those who can afford to get out.

I can only hope that the entire Latino population of America is taking note of what our racist president isn't doing in regard to Puerto Rico.

I can only hope they take him to task for it and vote against every Republican, everywhere.

I can only hope that every American, regardless of heritage, is outraged by Trump's cruelty towards three and a half million helpless people in Puerto Rico.

I can only hope that this Orange Menace goes away. Soon.

Hate to disagree with you here. But the normalization we're seeing of this putrid excuse of a "man" leads me to believe he'll get away with it. He may even get away with everything.

I never wish ill on anyone*, but my only hopes are a heart attack and Mueller. The latter, they will try their best to derail or even outright throw a spanner in the works.


*Exception Trump, Miller, Bannon, Sessions.

I think he will stick around for a while and die of Alzheimer's like his Klansman father

Probably won't happen but I want him to be alive when the hammer falls.
