What a turnaround. Donald Trump has a history of saying negative things about Puerto Rico, but now he is suddenly speaking very highly of the U.S. territory. Tatiana Matta, a Latino adviser to the Biden campaign said, “This is clearly a desperate, political stunt to win over Puerto Rican supporters.” More specifically, this move seems aimed at Puerto Ricans who now live in Florida.
After botching the response to Hurricane Maria and repeatedly neglecting and insulting the Americans there, Trump now claims, “I’m the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico.” pic.twitter.com/sAFKb1xdEp
