Bullshit Trump Says

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...or-two-others-arrested-on-corruption-charges/

Aid money being pocketed.

Puerto Rico has $70 Billion public debt.

Trump was the only ‘politician’ anywhere who mentioned forgiveness of their bond obligations and took a direct hit on Goldman Sachs when he said “there will be some angry people in NY but maybe we should eliminate their debt load”

Barack Obama’s chums at Goldman did not like the sound of Trump’s idea.

“President Trump's Puerto Rican Debt Comments Have Spooked Investors”

Come get some Truth for a change:

“President Donald Trump late Tuesday suggested he wished to “wipe out” Puerto Rico $74 billion debt pile following Hurricane Maria in a bid to ease the commonwealth’s recovery process.


“You know, they owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street, and we’re going to have to wipe that out,” Trump said on Fox Tuesday. “You can say goodbye to that. I don’t know if it’s Goldman Sachs, but whoever it is, you can wave goodbye to that.”

While that would be a weight off Puerto Rico’s chest — the commonwealth has increased taxes among others in order to pay back its creditors — Trump’s comments sent Wall Street into a frenzy.”
 
“Investors already on edge about Puerto Rico’s ability to pay back its debts sent the island’s general obligation bonds yielding 8% down by nearly 20% Wednesday. Though experts opined such a move was unlikely with Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget later trying to soothe markets by saying Puerto Rico “is going to have to figure out how to fix the errors that it’s made,” investors remained spooked.

Granted, Trump’s comments Tuesday would have merely piled onto a growing stack of woes for Puerto Rico and its bondholders. Puerto Rico heavily financed its expansion via debts in the early 2000s as companies began setting up offices on the island. But after tax break for U.S. companies in Puerto Rico expired in 2006, jobs and citizens left the island, pushing the commonwealth into an economic recession. With a weakened economy Puerto Rico unable to pay its now sizable debts. Finally in May, Puerto Rico filed a form of bankruptcy, with a turnaround plan that offered to pay $800 million a year to the island’s creditors — about 25 cents on the dollar.”
 
Where is the real pushback against debt relief coming from.

I don’t who the primary bond holders are but they are powerful enough to get their opinions heard on CNBC

..explaining all the reasons why “it can’t be done”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...-debt-would-be-a-huge-mistake-commentary.html

“Puerto Rico's economy was in a recession even before Hurricane Maria hit, with $74 billion in debt.
President Trump has suggested that maybe we just need to wipe out Puerto Rico's debt.
That would have disastrous consequences, says Ike Brannon, a visiting fellow at the Cato Institute and president of Capital Policy Analytics.
It would hurt more than just Wall Street bankers — it would also affect those who have retirement funds invested in Puerto Rican bonds.”
 
 
In Trump's mind he is always, always, the victim, even when discussing a storm that killed 3,000 people.

It's certainly the mindset he has, and I find that the vast majority of his supporters share it as well, even though they deny it vehemently when discussing the welfare state. Of course, I guess it makes sense that someone with a victim mindset would deny having a victim mindset, or at least, it wouldn't be their fault that they did...
 
You people don’t really care about Puerto Rico..

Try honesty for a change.

Let’s find out why it took until July of 2018 for the Democrats to suggest a bond deal..

Almost a year after Trump.

Let’s look at the swine herd headed by the miserable crook Ed Markey
 
lectro tacitly admits that 'pubs and the President would NEVER do anything for Puerto Rico. Same reason that democrats get blamed for not reigning in big banks- because the party in charge of all 3 branches of government doesn't give a shit about people.

100% this.

Of all of the awful things he’s said, this one is close to the top.

He’s such a baby. And what a fucking awful awful human being.

I do appreciate you inviting me to participate in every discussion. Do you want to strictly focus on FEMA's involvement in the hurricane, or do you want to also discuss Puerto Rico's infrastructure?

Which one is more to blame on democrats? I'll hang up and listen.
 
Not the actor, but it’s hilarious to read that in a Morgan Freeman voice.
