I bet all my money and belongings that Trump learned for the first time last week that Puerto Rico is an American territory.

Of course, that didn't prevent him from playing ugly with an island that's in dire need of help right now:

"...Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job!" -- from a Trump tweet

OF COURSE he had to get petty because the mayor of San Juan is a Democrat. It would've been a shock if he hadn't.

I just have to ask one thing. So how come Puerto Rico didn't and isn't getting a bailout like the big companies do? HMM? Corporations > Humans. Especially if those are Not-Real-Americans(TM). Derp! I'd say an entire island deserves a bailout whereas fucked up businesses do NOT.

Good luck finding someone who'll take that bet. His "tell" is so obvious, I'm surprised-notsurprised that no one's told him to stop mansplaining things to his audience.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
