  1. How much would we save by cutting loose our dumbest, poorest welfare states?

    Not like Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma offer us anything of value.

  2. Cool, if they’re independent maybe they can finally vote and live democratically and have a say in their future.

  3. The guy just doesn’t stop. Thake a pill dude . Just be grateful.yiu aren’t in jail where you really should be

  4. With all the shit we have done to them people we should make them a state.

  5. I don’t understand this, on one hand you want to takeover Greenland and Panama, but on the other hand u want to lose Puerto Rico. It’s like he thinks this is a game of monopoly – I’ll trade you Puerto Rico for Greenland and Panama.

  6. I’m sure he’d throw them some paper towels as a parting grift, uh, gift.

  8. Did he meet with the president of Puerto Rico? /s

    How does he plan to get this past the “Hate States”. They aren’t really fond of brown and black people and lost their sh!t when they can’t eavesdrop on people because they are speaking a different language.

  9. Soo… Let’s cut PR off to save money but let’s annex Greenland, Canada, Gaza, and the Panama canal.

  10. It’s time to make Puerto Rico a state. They’ve been exploited and strung along long enough.

  11. i thought some tax evasion strategies require Puerto Rico special exemptions?

  12. Republicans want to get rid of Puerto Rico so that the Democrats have no opportunity to turn it into a State at a later date.

  14. So Putin or Xi can take it over? Trump is easy to read.

  15. Just wow. Let’s get rid of most of the red states also. Leys see what we save there. Morons. 46 more months. Good luck

  16. Just wow. Let’s get rid of most of the red states also. Leys see what we save there. Morons. 46 more months. Good luck.

  18. I actually agree with Trump on this. Never been a fan of the Commonwealth status. Let them become independent.

  19. If this happens the Dutch should totally do something hilarious. 

  21. Or, wild idea here, what if we made Puerto Rico a state? I hear we’re all about adding states right now.

  24. Imagine how much you would be happier cutting Trump and musk

  25. In my opinion, PR should either be made a State or cut loose. Pick one.

  26. If we’re playing this game, let’s cut the Aryan Nation: eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, northeast California and Idaho. Maybe Indiana and Iowa , too. And Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas and Utah …. And most of Nevada

  27. I don’t get why so many are upset that a president is finally looking to cut spending. The deficit will not get cut without some hard decisions. Let Puerto Rico go or cut entitlements?

  28. Not a problem. Puerto Rico can become a country and then let China build a naval base there. I’m certain China would pay well enough that Puerto Ricans would all be able to live in comfort.

  29. How about, instead, we make it the 51st state and completely eliminate modern welfare, apart from Medicare and Social Security?

  32. Let them leave and then they can invite China to open bases and factories there.

  33. PR has a higher GDP than Idaho,New Hampshire, Hawaii, West Virginia, Delaware, Rhode Island,Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, Wyoming and Vermont. Why would anyone want to get rid of it? It should be made a State, like the people of PR voted for.

  35. It’s going to disappear, there’s nothing there! Mexico is more COOL

  36. …or is it b/c the three shitballs (Trump Musk Putin) want to steal fat chunks off that 617 billion?

  37. Wait. So independent PR to save money but wants Canada as a state?? Make it make sense please.

  38. More snaps for the billionaire/millionaire tax cuts. Yay! /s
