Donald Trump says he will oppose any proposal for statehood for Puerto Rico because the mayor of San Juan has criticized Trump’s handling of Hurricane Maria last year (“Trump says he won’t back statehood for Puerto Rico,” Page A8, Sept. 25). Trump says Puerto Rico should not be talking about statehood “until they get some people that really know what they’re doing.”
If that is to be the test, then the United States should be canceled.

Note from KBJ: We like Donald Trump, Eli. It's great to have a president who loves his country and its people. The best part of having Trump as our president is that it'll piss you off for another six and a half years.
