Trump declares himself 'best thing to ever' happen to Puerto Rico after announcing $13m aid package
Donald Trump declared himself the “best thing to ever happen to Puerto Rico” after sending a $13m aid package as he blasted the Obama administration for “destroying” it while vowing to turn the island territory into a pharmaceutical powerhouse.
His approval of the aid monies and predictions Puerto Rico can become a “success” is another stunning reversal for a president who spent much of his term calling it one of the most “corrupt” places in the world. It also comes at a time he is trying to court Latino voters in a dozen swing states in a close re-election race.
