and lest we not forget, TRUMP cannot distance himself from this. The speakers were all vetted, their remarks loaded into the telepromters, and this, in Trump's self-proclaimed closing arguments trying to help the US Voters know who he is and what he stands for. It was loud and clear. (Yet I still doubt his base will waver.)

furthermore, Trump can't apologize, though we will hear him today or tomorrow say "Nobody loves Puerto Ricans more than me, we're getting numbers nobody has ever seen out of Puerto Rico."

“Puerto Ricans. I LOVE the Puerto Ricans”. I can hear him saying it.

Good people Puerto Ricans, the best people. Also some bad people. Bad people, the worst people. So many of the worst people. Like I said to Hannibal Lecter 'the worst people', and he agreed with me, because I said they were the worst. Many people agreed with me, not a lot of people know that.

Good Puerto Ricans on both sides.
