"You have thrown our budget a little out of whack, because we've spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico

...TRUMP said in Puerto Rico.
Is this man crazy?
That comment shows how little he thinks of the people of Puerto Rico.
He never misses an opportunity to make others feel small.
To me, it sounds like Trump was forced to do something for Puerto Rico, and that comment is his way of showing his frustration.
Can Mueller please hurry the hell up?

His sense of humor (or attempt at it) doesn't even begin to cover his real, disgusting opinion and lack of character.

Puerto Ricans are also required to pay most US federal taxes, with the major exception being that most residents do not have to pay the federal personal income tax. In 2009, Puerto Rico paid $3.742 billion into the US Treasury.
