Trump Hates Puerto Ricoš¤ š¤
šµš· So Let Me Get This Straight...
Trump hates Puerto Rico?
Wants to cut us off? Wants āindependenceā for the island?
Yeah, yeah ā we heard it. The media said it on repeat like a Bad Bunny remix.
But thenā¦
he signs a massive federal bill that actually hooks Puerto Rico up in more ways than your cousinās ex who works at AutoZone.
So now the question is:
Do we believe headlines⦠or do we believe the receipts?
Letās look at what actually happened under this āevil empire,ā shall we?
š Hereās What That āBig, Beautiful Billā Did ā But No One Told You:
š„ 1. Permanent Rum $$$
Trump secured the Rum Cover-Over money forever.
For every drop of Puerto Rican rum exported, millions in federal taxes go straight back to PR.
Translation: That Cuba Libre you're sipping just funded a road in Bayamón.
š¶ 2. Child Tax Credit Jackpot
Used to be: āSorry, Puerto Rico doesnāt qualify.ā
Now: $2,200 per child.
Gracias, IRS Daddy.
šļø 3. Investment Fire Sale
Trump included Puerto Rico 100% in Opportunity Zones ā
which means big investors ran to the island like it was Coachella for capitalists.
Ever wonder why so many new buildings popped up overnight?
Spoiler: wasnāt Bad Bunny.
š 4. Coast Guard & Border Security $$$
More funding = more patrol = fewer smugglers in jet skis.
So yes, your abuela can now sleep with both eyes closed.
š 5. Pell Grants for Real-World Jobs
No college? No problema.
New grants for trades ā barbering, plumbing, mechanics ā
for the folks who fix things instead of tweet about them.
š® 6. Federal Money for Cops
Stonegarden, COPS, Byrne JAG ā all boosted.
So your local police can actually show up with more than a flashlight and good intentions.
š½ļø 7. Didnāt Touch Your PAN
Yeah, remember that āheās gonna cut the food stampsā drama?
Guess what: He didnāt.
Not a dime touched.
Red line held. But sure ā keep crying wolf.
š 8. Extra Pell Grants Without the Nonsense
No extra hoops. Just more money to keep students in school
and the system from collapsing like a reggaeton stage in a hurricane.
𤨠So What Are We Really Mad About?
He didnāt tweet in Spanish?
He didnāt cry during a press conference?
Look ā he may not have dropped a tearful novella on Telemundo,
but he dropped real dollars into the system.
And while the media had you screaming āRACIST!ā
he was signing laws that actually helped working Puerto Ricans.
š„ Moral of the Story:
You can scream all day about whoās āniceāā¦
But Iāll take funded programs over fake hugs any day of the week.
So the next time someone says Trump abandoned Puerto Rico,
ask them to name one policy that actually did more.
Weāll wait.
(But not too long ā rentās due.)
š§ Stop voting by emotion.
Start voting by what actually hits your pocket.
Because in the end?
Talk is cheap.
But this bill wasnāt.
