Does he even have plans to enter the country at any point?
Edit: srry must have the wrong music artist, there was some other latin pop music guy who said he doesn't want to perform in the US anymore
He is an American. Puerto Rico is an American territory, so when he is there is is in the country.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017 and the clusterfuck of a governmental response, the only thing Trump supporters and I agreed on was that the responsibility fell on the President of Perto Rico, who was an unqualified fuck-up.
I have zero clue who the Puerto Rican president was in 2017. But as an American territory, why wouldn't America have some responsibility? Even if it's just sending aid money to hire contracted help.
For people unaware, the inhabited US territories except for American Samoa are like states, except the federal government has more power to override their decisions and they don't get a say in the federal government.
However their people are full US citizens, just as much as those born in the 50 states. This means that if I, a white English speaker from the contiguous 48, were to move to Puerto Rico I'd be more than permitted, but would lose my say in the federal government until I moved back. The inverse is also true and Puerto Ricans who move to a state get to vote in federal elections.
Whoosh
Title
Donald Trump was the president of Puerto Rico in 2017, since it is an American territory. Some people in MAGA didn't realize this. OP was playing on this fact to say that Donald Trump was a fuck up.Bruh.
