Very much in favor of relieving Puerto Rico's debt. Especially because Trump stuck them for millions with his unfinished resort.my concern is his inconsistency and lack of reliability. Believe it when I see it 😩

Trump proved once again HE is the Bigliest disaster ever to hit our country! I watched a news segment where he was speaking to a Puerto Rican couple. After speaking about their troubles (with 0 empathy) he concluded, “Have a nice time,”. The throwing paper towels stunt was totally insensitive! His remark about forgiving it’s debt is another of his off-the-cuff remark which throws things into turmoil. Not touring the most affected parts of the country defeats his purpose. He is a moron!

Trump can't wipe out Puerto Rico's debt but you can. Increase tax on weapons and guns and do something right with it. Pay off their debt! Also if you increase tax on guns, maybe you'll save lives too!

@Karan LOL you clearly didn’t read the article. Trump suggested that he would “wipe out” their debt while simultaneously admitting that he doesn’t even know where the debt lies, and then other officials came out and said they were NOT going to bail Puerto Rico out and that we should take the president seriously “word for word.” Republicans are so desperate to find some good in this monster they elected that they latch onto any seemingly good thing this guy says and ignore the fact that he doesn’t mean or even know what he’s saying. This man’s word is worth literally nothing.

Trump blaming PR for "throwing our budget out of wack" is BEYOND insensitive. All he cares about is $$$. Every single day he says or does something that disgusts me even more.

The people of Puerto Rico need to go back to work and pay off their on debt. No more subsidizing deadbeats.

Forgive Puertp Rico's debt and allow this island to vote on statehood.

We can't wipe out any debt without money. We get money from taxes. Who can afford to pay more taxes? Big businesses and billionaires!

At least some good can come from this disaster if PR can get it's debt forgiven. It's the least we can do after Trump went there as a publicity stunt, insulted the people and minimized their suffering.

More lies from the Liar in Chief. Notice how his visit to PR was to the affluent sections of town. We didn't see him wading through water, nor did we see him talking to people that lost everything because of the hurricane. He told Puerto Rico that they should be thankful that they only lost 16 people where thousands died in Katrina. I wonder if anyone did the fact checking on his statements. He lies so much about everything. I still don't understand how anyone can support such a moron.

He made a fool of himself and is a complete embarrassment.

Puerto Rico is in the middle of a major catastrophe and Trump is throwing paper towels out like he is at a football game. Shameful. His whole take on this has been wrong. He should have sent supplies earlier. He should have gone there earlier instead of going to his golf course. If we can pinpoint bombs to go where the need to go we could have dropped supplies to Puerto Rico. So disgusted with Trunmp, his family and his administration. And everyone knows that paying off Puerto Rico’s debt was just for the cameras. He doesn’t mean anything he says except when he is helping out the rich and big corporations. 3 1/2 more years. I hope America can make it.

Wall Street made conscious decisions that resulted in monetary losses. Puerto Rico suffered a natural disaster Who is more deserving of assistance?

I think that he should because PuertoRico was under a lot of stress because of what hit them

Don’t get your hopes up Puerto Rico, he says one thing and does another.

Dotard Trump is our Liar-In-Chief, after all. He will wipe away Puerto Rico's debt the same way he tries (and fails) to wipe away all of the bad press and polls on him and his disastrous allies and antics.

Trump should have gone to Puerto Rico well before 13 days after the devastation. Trump should not have played that “you guys are in debt” card. that’s mean and cruel and has really nothing to do with helping Americans repair and recover after such a natural disaster. He should have toured the middle of the island to see what was going on there rather than just a slam bam thank you ma’am quick trip into San Juan and a small town near San Juan, where he threw paper towels into the crowd, I guess as a gesture of distributing needed goods? Can you eat paper towels? Repair a roof with them?? That was really actually kind of ridiculous that he even went there and spent so little time ... like he couldn’t really be bothered. Tossing rolls of paper towels into the crowd...I don’t know what to think about that. Was he trying to be funny? Interesting that he says that they’re going to wipe out Puerto Rico’s debt, and Wall Street will have to suck it up. Wall Street sounds like they’re not quite thrilled about this “suck it up” idea. But we bailed out Wall Street after the 2008 crash. And is that money that bailed them out not all paid back yet? I think not. Maybe they work a trade...Wall Street 2008 bail out debt will be wiped out if Wall Street wipes out Puerto Rico ‘s debt. Beats me. I do not know how those kinds of deals work. But trump needs to get off his tricycle and behave like he gives a damn. LOLOL! she said “ like he gives a damn”... LOL!

At least Trump is being consistent - just don’t pay your debt and get money from Russia.

As the people of Puerto Rico lay prone and broken, the President of the United States, their President, spoke of poor leadership, of money owed to Wall Street and “the banks,” of superior death counts and “real” catastrophes, of “nasty,” uncomplimentary local politicians with the gall, the effrontery to request mercy for their fellow citizens and to want “everything to be done for them” – and then he complimented himself on another A-plus job of dealing with all those pesky national emergencies. In a church on the good side of San Juan, which is, thank goodness, on the good side of Puerto Rico, he lobbed rolls of paper towels at the appropriately grateful attendees and left an hour ahead of schedule, having seen all that there was to see and learned all that there was to learn during his ultra-satisfying PR event. Then it was back to Washington and a continuing celebration of the fabulous new tax-cut plan, which will deliver eighty percent of its benefits to the wealthiest one percent of Americans, most of whom are not Puerto Ricans. How delightfully same old same old! Then Nero and Marie Antoinette got married in an absolutely sumptuous ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, but unfortunately all the roses died because they had been touched by Donald J. Midas in an apparent attempt to have everything in the whole world match his toilet in Trump Tower. Then it was off to Las Vegas and another heartfelt salute to the NRA. Let’s all take a knee.

Puerto Rico needs to become more fiscally responsible before the Fed thinks of forgiving any debt!
