I think we can all guess that tRUMP doesn't see Puerto Ricans as Americans. He sees them as brown people, as Hispanics. But, not only that, he sees them as the same as Mexicans. So, Mexico has refused to pay for his damn wall, and so this is retribution! I truly believe this...knowing who tRUMP is, I don't think this is a far-fetched theory!

(6,043 posts)Puerto Rico can be developed as rich man's investor paradise-especially if many are forced to leave and the land can be bought at pennies on the dollar. Similar to the housing crash a decade ago. Houses and apartment buildings bought cheap.
Maybe even Russian investors will be attracted.
