The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico voted yesterday in favor of becoming an official US state. Admittedly there are many other hurdles to cross but this is a strong indication that the long-standing US territory is ready to take the plunge.
But in a nearly simultaneous press conference, President Trump announced a travel ban for people traveling to or from the island nation, citing security and disease issues.
After the press conference he was heard muttering on a hot mic that “we don’t need no more f*****g w*****k Democrats” with a slang term for Mexicans that would tend to indicate maybe he had his geography a little mixed up.
