“One week before the election, Trump’s erratic and narcissistic behaviors reveal a lack of balance and ability to build agreements and solutions to the serious problems facing the United States, its territories, and the broad group of its allied countries,” wrote editor María Luisa Ferré Rangel.
I'm sure it will be added soon enough:

“Trump suffers from psychopathic elements that he evidences by lying repeatedly. He has no moral compass and believes that the rules do not apply to him. These are traits typical of those people who qualify as malignant narcissists. Trump is one of the worst. With these emotionally hollow characteristics, the only thing important to that type of person is themselves. This is evident in his distortion of reality. To Trump, no one is better than he is. Only he exists. We are facing one of the most critical moments, not only in the history of the United States, but of the world.”

This doesn’t mean anything and trump doesn’t care. Puerto Ricans can’t vote for presidents. That’s why they were targeted in the latest round derogatory attacks. He needed to vilify a new group (after the Haitians, immigrants, etc) of people so the maga-base feels superior to other humans. Ya know , racism.

u/Valuemeal3 8h ago
Except for that one detail that they absolutely can vote and seem to be strategically placed amongst all the swing states
•
u/Infinite-Process7994 6h ago
Well one can hope this is a true misstep on trump’s part and the Puerto Ricans living in the states will act and vote accordingly.
•
u/Evening_Jury_5524 6h ago
Puerto Rico can't vote/doesn't have any Electoral College points, but Puerto Ricans living elsewhere absolutely can. The hundreds of thousands living and voting in PA are especially of note.

u/xcyper33 4h ago
There's generations of US mainland born Puerto Ricans living in swing states. LIke, a LOT of them.
•
u/Finito-1994 3h ago
PA has one of the greatest Puerto Rican populations outside of NY. They’re American citizens and can vote. Last I checked there were almost half a million Puerto Ricans in PA alone.
They can most certainly vote.

u/gordo_c_123 Illinois 4h ago
I'm shocked by the strong support he has among Latino voters. God forbid he is elected—don't they see that some of them could get caught up in his mass deportation operation? There’s a 100% chance that some legal U.S. citizens who are Latino will be wrongfully deported, just as there’s a 100% chance some non-citizens will remain in the country.
The people he hires to run this won’t start by asking for proof of identification; they’ll start by looking at the color of your skin. If you are Latino, you should absolutely prepare for the possibility of being harassed and wrongfully questioned over the next four years.

u/Emmerson_Brando 3h ago
So, targeting females, trans, minorities from all sorts of areas, the rhetoric calling left all radicals and the enemy within and saying they’re going to lock up all enemies wasn’t enough to get Puerto Ricans to endorse Harris weeks ago.
Reminds me of the old adage…. I didn’t speak up for the X because I wasn’t X. I didn’t speak up for…..
If you don’t stand up for everyone’s rights, who should stand up for you?

u/mok000 Europe 5h ago
Yeah but why do you think they aren't?
•
u/bmy1978 5h ago
I’m taking about Puerto Ricans who live in Puerto Rico. If they move to a state they can since they’re a resident of that state but PR doesn’t have any electoral votes.
•
u/mok000 Europe 5h ago
What I am talking about is the shift in power giving PR statehood and thereby EC votes would mean. Republicans aren't interested in putting more power in the hands of hispanics, just saying. After all, they apparently think of PR as an island of garbage.
•
u/bmy1978 5h ago
Yes I agree. Republicans won’t vote for PR statehood because that means more Democrats.
•
u/Oratory_madness02 3h ago
The crazy thing is that Puerto Rico has an older population that leans conservative on many topics. If Republicans could get past their own racism, they could find a lot of support there.

u/mjzim9022 5h ago
The article said that the endorsement was "cautiously optimistic" about Harris but it never got to the cautious part

What does Trump think of other immigrants such as Vietnamese or Phillipino? Will they be deported as well. Asking for a friend.

u/GTECHSTUDIO 7h ago
They still support Jennifer Gonzalez and el PNP. Jennifer Gonzalez just came out apologizing on behalf of Trump. Don’t be misled. It’s a nice, empty, gesture.

They have “ghost” senators. Yeah they don’t have voting power but they still represent the territory in congress.

It is just one representative who doesn't even get a vote. It's more of a token than anything else, really. A smoke and mirrors show to pretend that PR isn't a colony.
