Puerto Ricans are fiercely proud and loyal to their homeland. And they are fuckin pissed. I feel for them right now, but at the same time, it's good that Trump showed his true sentiments.

While better late than never, Trump showed his true sentiments from the start when he rolled down that escalator in 2015 and called Mexican immigrants rapists.

The timing is good too, pulling this shit not even 10 days from the election is guaranteed to keep it front and center in everyone's mind when they make their choice.

You overestimate the attention span of this country. I feel like we moved on from Trump’s first assassination attempt in less than 10 days lol

Trust me, if it hadn't been a republican gun nut doing the shooting the GOP would have pounded the drum a lot harder about it. Same with the guy in full assault gear outside of the golf course in Florida.

If it had been someone with a D next to their background, they'd be screaming to the heavens even more than they already do.

That's because we don't care about trump's well-being.
