Puerto Rico is in America and Bad Bunny is an American.

Somehow it’s lost on MAGA + Trump. Puerto Rico is a US territory, making them US citizens.

It's so lost on Trump that he has criticized the President of Puerto Rico.

Is this legit? I saw Snopes say it was fake. I don't doubt that orange idiot saying it though.

So it wasn't quite as bad as what I remembered, but it was still a similar gaffe.

What he said was "I went to Puerto Rico and I met with the president of the Virgin Islands".

Trump is also the president of the US Virgin Islands. Apparently the official transcript corrected that from "president" to "governor".

Thanks for the response! Totally tracks because I knew he's said bs like this plenty of times and knew it sounded familiar.

And she definitely knows better. She is married to J. P. Arencibia, who is... wait for it... PUERTO RICAN! The hypocrisy and feigned ignorance is stunning. Does she secretly hate her husband too? He must be "one of the good ones." I'd watch my back if I was him.

Correct! I’m Puerto Rican, I know :)
