HERSHEY, PA - DECEMBER 10, 2019 resident Donald Trump gestures in total shock during a campaign rally at the Giant Center.

At his rally at Orlando Sanford International Airport on Monday, President Donald Trump devoted part of his speech to Puerto Rico — proclaiming he has been a terrific president for the island and demanding that its people vote for him for president.

There’s only one problem with Trump’s demand: Puerto Ricans cannot vote for Trump, because Puerto Rico is not a state.

While the GOP’s official platform includes statehood for Puerto Rico, party leaders have broadly opposed granting it, out of fear that Democrats would dominate its congressional representation.

4. He's fishing for the PR votes here in the US, particularly Florida.

Lots of PR residents came here after the hurricanes and devastation in the island made 1000 times worse by Trump's negligence and outright disdain for helping "them".

6. Yep. No more use telling him what we don't want him to know

than there is telling him things we want him to learn.
