Donald Trump keeps telling America exactly who he is and the Puerto Rican community in the United States, some 36.2M, is listening.

At a campaign rally in New York's legendary Madison Square Garden, comedian John Hinchcliffe joked about an "island of floating garbage in the middle of the ocean we call Puerto Rico."

Before that racist quip, the Trump rally comedian had this to say:  "Latinos love making babies.  They do. . . They come inside and there's no pulling out, just like they did to our country."

For those who think Trump himself doesn't view all Hispanics as inferior, don't forget his statement as he rode down the gold escalator in Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his candidacy for President, referring to "Mexican Nationals" as "rapists" and "criminals."

The pushback was swift from noted entertainers in the Hispanic community from Puerto Rico, with Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony issuing statements condemning the remarks from the Trump rally while endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

What Trump seems not to understand is that residents of Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, vote in our elections and pay taxes to our treasury.

Trump's ignorance and racism was on full display when 2017's Hurricane Maria devasted the island, and U.S. citizens found themselves without food, electricity or clean water while Trump repeatedly blocked aid from being sent to the country.

While the island rocked from the devastating storm, Donald Trump discounted FEMA's death toll figures and publicly fought with San Juan Mayor Carmen Cruz Soto over what support the island needed.

It wasn't until just before the 2020 election that Trump finally released a $13B aid package for the island.

U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico will not forget Trump's suggestion of trading Puerto Rico for Greenland or his cavalier, sarcastic tossing of paper towel rolls at citizens lacking clean water and electricity. 

Trump's racist mishandling of the Hurricane Maria recovery, in itself, demonstrates his absolute unfitness to hold public office.
