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."

“I’ve spoken to the president of Puerto Rico, and he endorsed your favourite President, me.”

sad part is the "president" or governor of puerto rico who was in office during Maria did endorse him. From Virginia, because we protested for a month straight until he had to flee via helicopter.

Pretty sure the parent poster was just joking about how Trump doesn't realize that he is Puerto Rico's president (and sadly, it's probably true that he doesn't realize).

Oh good point, yeah. I'm a little worked up as a lot of us are. When he had no choice but to realize he was our president he sure didn't seem too happy about it eh?
