After making some typical kissy-face politic remarks after Hurricane Maria last September when Puerto Rico was still in desperate need of help from FEMA, Puerto Rico's Gov. Ricardo Rosselló earned the drumpf seal of approval on Twitter:
We’ll see what A-hole has to say now that the Guv has taken the gloves off in a swing through Florida.
“Gov. Ricardo Rosselló urged Puerto Ricans in Central Florida to use the 2018 midterm elections to vote against those who have not been “friends of Puerto Rico."
During a near 30-minute speech where he made his frustrations known, Rosselló accused Washington of turning its back on U.S. citizens on the island after Hurricane Maria left unimaginable damage throughout the island. The island is still without full power and clean running water more than three months after the disaster….
He (Roseelo) said many politicians visited Puerto Rico after the storm and pledged to support its people. But “when the opportunity showed up that Congress could make good on their word … many of them turned their back on Puerto Rico and not only forgot about us but made things increasingly worse,” Roselló told the audience in Kissimmee.
Rosselló was referring to the tax law that was signed a few weeks ago. The new law could put companies in Puerto Rico at a disadvantage because they will be treated as offshore firms, and therefore subject to higher taxes than those based in the mainland.
This means businesses with operations in Puerto Rico will be paying higher taxes than those on the mainland U.S. The purpose is to stop American companies from going overseas to avoid taxes but it also applies to Puerto Rico because it’s treated as both foreign and domestic under the U.S. tax code.”
That would be the GOP/Trump tax bill that the Orange Menace has been touting since it passed.
Can the “Ungrateful little Ricardo” Tweet be far away?
