In fact, Congress has allocated only about $42 billion -- and only a smaller portion of that has been spent. But Trump and the White House have repeatedly used the $92 billion figure -- based, they say, on a government estimate of how much recovery money the island could need over 20 years.
😭😭😭😭 the man said America GAVE them 92 billion , then said they haven't gotten all of it , but they got some of it 🤦🏾♂️ Well tell us HOW MUCH they have specifically 🤦🏾♂️ NOT how much they're going to get! The guy literally speaks in circles & idk how you supporters understand that gibberish 🤦🏾♂️
I am glad the Puerto Rican people are finally taking a stand against there government I am Puerto Rican myself and thought trump did an okay job with Puerto Rico no complaints here.
It hurts people who care about facts. His money figure is dead wrong, and even if it's a corrupt local government, its the President's responsibility to get the aid distributed properly.
There is a great misconception about who is supporting whom in the Caribbean. Wall Street says that Puerto Rico “owes” $73 billion. The US government says they “give” Puerto Ricans $4.6 billion per year. But there is something suspicious about all this “owing” and “giving.” If the US is so generous, then why is everyone broke? Why is the per capita income of Puerto Ricans only $16,400…far less than any state in the union? The island is a captive market of the US: the fifth largest market in the world for US products. 85 percent of everything purchased and consumed in Puerto Rico, comes from the US. All of these products are wildly overpriced, thanks to the “price protection” of the Jones Act, aka the Law of Cabotage. For the past few years, consumer spending on the island has hovered at $35 billion per year. Thanks to the Jones Act, the prices paid by Puerto Rican consumers are roughly 20% higher than on the mainland. 20% of $35 billion (the annual consumer spending) is $7 billion. This is the amount of excess prices on goods paid every year, by Puerto Rican consumers. 85% (the percentage of goods that come from the US) of $7 billion is $5.95 billion. So Puerto Ricans pay roughly $5.95 billion in annual excess profits to US corporations, thanks to the Jones Act. That amount exceeds the $4.6 billion in federal benefits that the US “gives” to Puerto Rico. But wait, there’s more…due to the reduction in Medicare Advantage funds as of 2016, the US will reduce its “giving” to Puerto Rico by $500 million. So as of 2016, Puerto Ricans will receive only $4.1 billion back from the US government, but pay $5.95 billion in excess profits to US corporations. And this is counting just the excess profits, on top of the original profits.
On March 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. This law gave Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship. The Jones Act separated the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of Puerto Rican government, provided civil rights to the individual, and created a locally elected bicameral legislature.
Dr. Not evil enough ah yes, the Jones Act was because of kindness, not because the US was in war and by giving the puertoricans civil rights they had more 18year old soldiers sure
Dr. Not evil enough it’s those crazy democrats forcing the USA to make their products from foreign countries and that cost a lot of money to ship under the Jones act.
Puerto Rico has not had anything like $92,000,000,000 and currently it stands at less than $20,000,000,000. Many or most Americans do not even know that Puerto Rico is part of America.
I know, but that was just an insult and I’m not standing by for that type of shit what has occurred in Puerto Rico is just a mess and makes matters worse. The people are fed up, but the only way for us to get stronger is for us to keep getting up and building a future for generations to come. I had to leave Puerto Rico when I was young but it is still a part of me. We came to the states for a better life like many people do but we had to start small meaning jumping from shelter to shelter until finally we are buying a house with no ones help. It’s our families experience in different types of work that made us money, my father a person who built houses from below up is an all around person and is someone of business, and when you find an ideal location you are bound to skyrocket in your economic growth. The way Puerto Rican’s and also many immigrants are going to persevere is through job knowledge and a way to maneuver a business correctly so in the long run you end up rich and you could support communities and eventually the island itself
Jean Gabriel Rodriguez He sent Puerto Rico $92 billion in aid. Now we know they’ve been hiding a lot of that because they wanted to death toll and then blame it on Trump. What you should really look at is the corrupt politicians in Puerto Rico!
@Sean Christopher try to do a research about Puerto ricos problems first before give ur opinion. Do it then u will understand why they complain and bitch a lot
Nunca olvide cómo Trump trató a la isla y a la gente de Puerto Rico. Con poco respeto llamando a la isla un agujero de mierda. Vote Blue por el bien de todos los latinos y Puerto Rico. Nunca olvides.
Ah no, si tu quieres estadidad te vas directamente para USA, porque puerto rico no se regala, QUEREMOS INDEPENDENCIA. Si tu tienes complejo de gringo te vas, vende patria. Cuan hipócrita, te crees estadounidense y estas en PR
m dejesus todo el mundo se burla de Puerto Rico, en medio de una pandemia la gente aqui se esta muriendo y Estados Unidos ni nos deja cerrar los aéreopuertos, los gringos vienen aqui porque no les importa nuestra salud, porque somos su isla de recuperacion. Callate la boca, tu no sabes lo que es vivir aqui, lo horrible que es ser colonia
El presidente lo puede parar pero no quiere hacer nada, el nos ignoran y su administración también. Por eso tenemos que sacarlo de oficina. Está haciendo un montón de problemas, ahora mismo en Hawaii están protesting para su como nosotros en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Hawaii está peleando para retener su cultura y tener una isla más vivible. Esa misma cosa está pasando en Puerto Rico en donde el presidente tiene el navy practicando en una isla cerca del Mainland de Puerto Rico que se llama Vieques. Yo busce para islas en Puerto Rico en google pero no salió Vieques, solo en google maps, significando que nadie quiere que la gente vayan para esta isla. La gente se enferman fácilmente aquí por los químicos y más, hay compañías como Monsanto ahí que hacen nuevos químicos en esa isla. Lo que digo es que cuando el estados unidos capturaron al Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 la cosas se puso mas mal en lo que estuvo. Es como si no fuera leyes en la isla.
@steelerfan77777 es cierto, este presidente si se mueve no como los otros inutiles.. los democratas son los culpables de que ayuda al pueblo y otras leyes no se implementen.. en el problema de la frontera los democratas detubieron la ayuda financiera por meses...

You must be the kind that wants to be bribed with a free phone. Free doctors . You don't give a crap if a politician steals from the people and gets rich? You must think they love you giving you free stuff. Nothing is free. You haven't a clue where you were being drug off to, broke and tired and screaming. Not knowing who to blame before President Trump. And the scared corrupted politicians saw their gravytrain dying. And dems and reps alike, that were on the take put an ENEMY target on him.

Joseph these don’t know the capacity Puerto Rico is willing to go to show Donald trump what a bitch he is, we don’t have a stable island still and the governor another bitch gives a heavy blow and gives the president what he wants, insults. That president doesn’t know what’s coming to him, if he thinks he could comment such disgusting rhetoric comments like a care in the world he’s mistaken, that son of a bitch could rot in hell.
I am a proud American veteran from PR and I can tell you Puerto Rico will never be a state. They can choose to be a republic and that’s it. They just don’t have the balls to do it, preferring to continue with the welfare they get from us US taxpayers. The music is starting to stop for them and they know damn well it is. Of course they’ll do what they always do when it does: hightail it to the mainland and vote democrat.
@Kaptain Kid I could care less about that. Trump needs to build a hotel in PR like he needs to have a hole in his head. There are more expensive and fabulous places for him to build them and that is a lie because he can't have ANY business dealings while he's POTUS.
Well, the worst thing that can happen to us is our own government… You have the proofs in this video😭with that money we could have a paradise better than Florida but we steel have holes in every street.
It doesn't matter how much money the corrupt politicians of PR get. They will surely use it to their benefit and their own agenda. I love the country and the people, but they have to elect better representatives for their small island.
Frank Aguilar ....frank all the ones they have elected in the last 40 years are.....the better......but then they turn out to be the worst. Who can read the crystal bowl.
If you actually was a Puerto Rican you would not be in agreement with the Jackass. The only thing that is true is that the Governer should resign. Trump has done his utmost to shit on Puerto Rico.
The best thing that happened to puertorico huh.nobody has given them what ive given them saysdonald trump....thats right mr trump. Nobody has given them toilet paper by throwin them at crowds of people like trump. Great for the history books.
@Heat_Spectre i agree paisano. Thats why i voted trump. He was the best of 2 evils. Still, i get pissed off his blatant dissrespect. Hillary hates us as much if not more then him. She keeps it quiet. But lets it nkown through her bills n laws aimed at us and the blacks. We as a people need to wake up. And we need to do it soon.
@m dejesus with a name like yours its fucked up that you downplay that, but the word uncle Tom ain't just for black people that go against they own kind.wether u puerto Rican or Mexican or cuban it dont matter. All so called latin americans should see each other as brothers. So when 1 of us gets trampled on all of us should feel it. And when we pick up a win all of us shine in it. When trump did that he literally disrespected us. I'm not saying I dont agree with some of the things he does but not this 1.
Pure Merpy mate there are 2.7 millions mouths to feed hell I want to go to America but the university’s over there are just so expensive like 8 -10 grand here it’s like 1 or 2 per semester I really want to get out of here and go to America but I guess,things aren’t doing so good and what do you mean we don’t deserve the money he’ll that money was suppose to fix the roads they only fix the roads it’s getting annoying knowing that in Germany the roads are smooth and can’t feel it that much but the government here like the ex governor is shit
Mr. Trump would have been protested just as strongly, or even more so, had he been doing what he has in the US as a governor of Puerto Rico and thus within “political reach” of the island’s population.
That is not how it works. The money is allocated in cash and other aid, not just cash. It is food, water, clothing, shelter aid, and maybe cash or credit. It is not in terms of dollars because it is $92 billion total in aid over 20 years, not all money. So, averages out, less than $5 billion a year and not even that because it won’t all be dispersed if that total is not needed.
He was such a liar I can’t believe Puerto Ricans can’t see it I can see right through him and this was 4 years ago wow. Why can’t they see he’s lying ?
Trump clearly does not understand fiscal policy or he would know we allocate money and don’t send it over in one batch. This would also include aid that is not monetary. It was not $92 billion in cash or credit.
Puerto Rico actually only received 14 billion dollars from congress. Not only that but they gave america 70 billion dollars. Something doesn't add up here.

Trump's Puerto Rico Golf Venture: Not Such A Great Deal "... the Puerto Rico club was built on a weak financial structure. The privately owned golf course got a government development bank to issue $16.2 million in bonds in 2000. The project took longer and cost more than planned, leading to a $7.5 million bond issue in 2004. 'So it really needed to take off in 2008 to live up to all of its financial obligations, but instead, it kept losing money. 'From 2008 to 2012, it lost between $5.8 million and $7.2 million annually. In 2012 it had just 63 members, and only four had bought condo units. Mainland players weren't flocking to Coco Beach, and revenues from the Puerto Rico Open were steadily declining. 'Throughout those rocky years, the Trump Organization was doing its usual thing: creating six corporate entities to handle the club management and the branding, and naming Ivanka Trump as vice president, as noted in her White House financial disclosure report. The club's 2012 annual report shows it paid Trump 4.5 percent of its gross annual revenues - $609,607 total for the five years from 2008 to 2012. But the report doesn't show what Trump was spending on its operations there. 'In 2011, the club's debt got rolled together in a refinancing for $26.4 million. All along, the deal had resembled the U.S. housing crisis - i.e., it had a balloon mortgage, with small, interest-only payments for the first several years. 'The re-fi didn't help. In 2012, the club defaulted, and for the next three years, its debt payments were made by Puerto Rico's Tourism Development Fund, which was guaranteeing the bonds. 'In 2015, the Trump partnership ended. The club reverted to its original name - the Coco Beach Golf and Country Club - and filed for bankruptcy. It claimed $9.2 million in assets and $78.1 million in liabilities: $32.6 million in bonds and $45.5 million to other creditors. The Tourism Development Fund sought to recover $32.1 million in principal and interest on the bonds. 'Much further down the list, Trump International Golf Club at Coco Beach claimed $690,339 in unpaid management fees. 'The bankruptcy files don't indicate whether Trump's company ever recovered its claim. The Trump Organization didn't respond to NPR inquiries." www.npr.org/2017/10/05/555457046/trumps-puerto-rico-golf-venture-not-such-a-great-deal
#SeanChristopher: Wow! What a compelling argument you make: "So there!" You're right though. Trump is the Big Dog! Of course when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. Anytime Trump's investments go sour he starts with the Pinocchio tactics: "If all fails - lie, lie, lie." Which by the way Trump doesn't do very well either. He just knows that a fool and his logic soon part. Also, can you articulate your position with more than, "So there!???"
Allocated, why is the word allocated so hard to say? It is different than give because allocate means you distribute the money out in states as needed. That is how it works and should work. Otherwise, you might have corruption run amok by giving it all at once.

Actually Puerto Rico supports the mainland. They send the mainland over $70billion yearly and receive back around $26billion. They pay 20% excess tax, mainland Americans pay around 6%. So we are supporting your welfare & food stamp programs. If you happen to run into a Puerto Rican, please remember to show your appreciation.
Everyone is terrible but him . Does anyone believe all of Puerto Rico watched his stupid pageant. Has to make it all about him. Pakistan Official must be embarrassed.

The Miss Universe pageants notwithstanding, there is barely, if any, appreciation for Trump in Puerto Rico. The slow response and quick withdrawal of support after hurricane Maria weighs heavily on Puerto Rican minds, especially when comparing the support given to Puerto Rico vs mainland states, the citizens of both being US citizens, during that dire emergency.
Not lies the governor of puerto rico kept all the money being sent from congress and the media lying that trump hasn't done anything which in fact he did just the governor is a corrupt piece of shit

I had to leave Puerto Rico when I was young but it is still a part of me. We came to the states for a better life like many people do but we had to start small meaning jumping from shelter to shelter until finally we are buying a house with no ones help. It’s our families experience in different types of work that made us money, my father a person who built houses from below up is an all around person and is someone of business, and when you find an ideal location you are bound to skyrocket in your economic growth. The way Puerto Rican’s and also many immigrants are going to persevere is through job knowledge and a way to maneuver a business correctly so in the long run you end up rich and you could support communities and eventually the island itself
Trump is the best thing to happen to America and I’m Puerto Rican..

Of course they’ll do what they always do when it does: hightail it to the mainland and vote democrat.

Mr. Trump would have been protested just as strongly, or even more so, had he been doing what he has in the US as a governor of Puerto Rico and thus within “political reach” of the island’s population.
That is not how it works. The money is allocated in cash and other aid, not just cash. It is food, water, clothing, shelter aid, and maybe cash or credit. It is not in terms of dollars because it is $92 billion total in aid over 20 years, not all money. So, averages out, less than $5 billion a year and not even that because it won’t all be dispersed if that total is not needed.
He was such a liar I can’t believe Puerto Ricans can’t see it I can see right through him and this was 4 years ago wow. Why can’t they see he’s lying ?
Calling the kettle black are we?
All Trump brought to the show were some paper towels.
Trump clearly does not understand fiscal policy or he would know we allocate money and don’t send it over in one batch. This would also include aid that is not monetary. It was not $92 billion in cash or credit.
Puerto Rico actually only received 14 billion dollars from congress. Not only that but they gave america 70 billion dollars. Something doesn't add up here.

Trump's Puerto Rico Golf Venture: Not Such A Great Deal
"... the Puerto Rico club was built on a weak financial structure. The privately owned golf course got a government development bank to issue $16.2 million in bonds in 2000. The project took longer and cost more than planned, leading to a $7.5 million bond issue in 2004.
'So it really needed to take off in 2008 to live up to all of its financial obligations, but instead, it kept losing money.
'From 2008 to 2012, it lost between $5.8 million and $7.2 million annually. In 2012 it had just 63 members, and only four had bought condo units. Mainland players weren't flocking to Coco Beach, and revenues from the Puerto Rico Open were steadily declining.
'Throughout those rocky years, the Trump Organization was doing its usual thing: creating six corporate entities to handle the club management and the branding, and naming Ivanka Trump as vice president, as noted in her White House financial disclosure report. The club's 2012 annual report shows it paid Trump 4.5 percent of its gross annual revenues - $609,607 total for the five years from 2008 to 2012. But the report doesn't show what Trump was spending on its operations there.
'In 2011, the club's debt got rolled together in a refinancing for $26.4 million. All along, the deal had resembled the U.S. housing crisis - i.e., it had a balloon mortgage, with small, interest-only payments for the first several years.
'The re-fi didn't help. In 2012, the club defaulted, and for the next three years, its debt payments were made by Puerto Rico's Tourism Development Fund, which was guaranteeing the bonds.
'In 2015, the Trump partnership ended. The club reverted to its original name - the Coco Beach Golf and Country Club - and filed for bankruptcy. It claimed $9.2 million in assets and $78.1 million in liabilities: $32.6 million in bonds and $45.5 million to other creditors. The Tourism Development Fund sought to recover $32.1 million in principal and interest on the bonds.
'Much further down the list, Trump International Golf Club at Coco Beach claimed $690,339 in unpaid management fees.
'The bankruptcy files don't indicate whether Trump's company ever recovered its claim. The Trump Organization didn't respond to NPR inquiries."

#SeanChristopher: Wow! What a compelling argument you make: "So there!"
You're right though. Trump is the Big Dog! Of course when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. Anytime Trump's investments go sour he starts with the Pinocchio tactics: "If all fails - lie, lie, lie." Which by the way Trump doesn't do very well either. He just knows that a fool and his logic soon part.
Also, can you articulate your position with more than, "So there!???"
@Sean Christopher yeah, he is the President and he is an idiot and a theif.
Repeated himself on three different points like four times
So idiots can understand, lol. I'm not calling you that, though.
Heru- deshet nah that’s just how he talks every time, like he’s trying to explain to himself more than us what he’s thinking at the moment
Allocated, why is the word allocated so hard to say? It is different than give because allocate means you distribute the money out in states as needed. That is how it works and should work. Otherwise, you might have corruption run amok by giving it all at once.
How does Trump take a serious government issue and turn it into a beauty pageant commercial? What the actual fuck?
No lies detected 💯🎯
President Trump speaks the truth.
He's right as usual. Get rid of all PR corrupt politicians and place Trump like people who have PR's well being in their hearts.
Puerto Rico, WE NEED TO JUST LET THEM GO! WE DON'T REALLY NEED THEM AT ALL! THEY NEED US MORE, THAT'S MONEY $$$$$$ WE COULD BUILD THE WALL WITH!!!
There is a great misconception about who is supporting whom in the Caribbean. Wall Street says that Puerto Rico “owes” $73 billion. The US government says they “give” Puerto Ricans $4.6 billion per year.
But there is something suspicious about all this “owing” and “giving.” If the US is so generous, then why is everyone broke? Why is the per capita income of Puerto Ricans only $16,400…far less than any state in the union?
The island is a captive market of the US: the fifth largest market in the world for US products. 85 percent of everything purchased and consumed in Puerto Rico, comes from the US.
All of these products are wildly overpriced, thanks to the “price protection” of the Jones Act, aka the Law of Cabotage.
For the past few years, consumer spending on the island has hovered at $35 billion per year.
Thanks to the Jones Act, the prices paid by Puerto Rican consumers are roughly 20% higher than on the mainland.
20% of $35 billion (the annual consumer spending) is $7 billion. This is the amount of excess prices on goods paid every year, by Puerto Rican consumers.
85% (the percentage of goods that come from the US) of $7 billion is $5.95 billion.
So Puerto Ricans pay roughly $5.95 billion in annual excess profits to US corporations, thanks to the Jones Act. That amount exceeds the $4.6 billion in federal benefits that the US “gives” to Puerto Rico.
But wait, there’s more…due to the reduction in Medicare Advantage funds as of 2016, the US will reduce its “giving” to Puerto Rico by $500 million. So as of 2016, Puerto Ricans will receive only $4.1 billion back from the US government, but pay $5.95 billion in excess profits to US corporations.
And this is counting just the excess profits, on top of the original profits.
@@MultiBotijas As a puertorrican from the island, well done 👏 United States get more 💰from us
Actually Puerto Rico supports the mainland. They send the mainland over $70billion yearly and receive back around $26billion. They pay 20% excess tax, mainland Americans pay around 6%. So we are supporting your welfare & food stamp programs.
If you happen to run into a Puerto Rican, please remember to show your appreciation.

The Miss Universe pageants notwithstanding, there is barely, if any, appreciation for Trump in Puerto Rico.
