Posted: Jan 20th, 2020 - 5:26 am In Reply to: Here's an article about how Trump treated - Puerto Rico. SM

Republican Governor, Luis Fortuño, who was in office for only one term (2009-2013) and who is a decent, intelligent individual, but the island is so corrupt within its core, that it's hard to get that all cleaned and sanitized in only 4 years.

COMMENTS FROM PUERTO RICO CITIZENS (SAMPLE) -

Nei Solis: PR is not to blame for the attitude of some people. Because if there’s corruption, the ones who don’t take the money are the actual Puerto Rican people. We are all not the same.

Chayanne Cruz: Truly, the President does not offend - he is correct! I’m not a big fan of his but I gotta give it to him - Puerto Rico is an island of corruption.

Luis Santiago: With these politicians we have here, be it Red (Pro-Commonwealth Party) or Blue (Pro-Statehood Party), they contract people so that the contractors give them a % of the contract. Trump is right!

Julio Moreno: Of course it is! Why don’t teachers and students here have the same things that they have in US classrooms? Because our local govt receives the money from the fed govt and we never receive it!

ISaint Corlo: Of course it is! We are 20 years behind!

Santos Perez: We must thank Trump who dared to say it! Past Presidents knew and they just looked the other way.

Edgardo Torres: The politicians who lie to the people - yes - they are corrupt. But not the islanders themselves.

Gonzalo Tubens: When Trump says it, it’s because he knows and has seen something.

Karlos Medina: Of course it is! They should audit us so that they can see for themselves!

Jaime David: Puerto Rico, No. The politicians we have voted in - Yes.

Rafael Munoz: Without a doubt! Political Corruption is already CULTURE!

Jose Luis Pagan: He’s the only one who has stated the truth and the truth hurts.

Alexander Mercado: Decades of Corruption and ineptitude are the consequences of what we are living under. This is a reality, whether you like it or not.

Raul Vazquez: Not the most corrupt, but certainly in the Top 5.

Luis Alexis Soto: And those of you commenting are accomplices of corruption and you will be voting for the same parties expecting different results.

Wilson Ocasio: He is talking about the govt, so it doesn’t bother me that he’s telling the truth. That’s why we got rid (of Ricky Rossello).
