#Pennsylvania #Trump #PuertoRico
Latinos For Trump!! Latinos por Trump. Hora de sacar la basura el 5 de Noviembre 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For ffs trump didn’t say it. Let’s hold Kamala guilty for everything anybody whoever went to her rally has said.
Grow up
Biden called Trump voters garbage…straight out of the horse’s mouth!
Not a paid comedian that makes tastless jokes for a living!
Trump knows every thing that is going on in his campaign. Trump is a total control freak. He knew it was going to be said. If Trump wins this election it is what America must deserve. God will have to save the world. Still I will 🗳️💙
Vote TRUMP. The rest are Dumb.
Trump didn’t told the joke. The comedian did. Reality hurts Puerto Rico has electricity and garbaga problems. Did Harris help Puerto Rico? No. Did hispanics help Puerto Rico? No. Now you know the truth, help Puerto Rico. Do you like your gas cars? Vote for Trump. Do you like your gas stove? vote for Trump. Save the USA.
Did Trump help Puerto Rico? No. Oh don’t say oh, well he threw paper towels. Puerto Ricans are the one who helped Puerto Rico. They built that without trumps help after hurricane Maria.
NBC is a joke. We see through this bs
Who is d3mb enough to take the words of a random comedian and assume it has something to do with Trump? Are you people even serious?
No hay peor ciego que el que NO quiere ver
THEY HAVE A GARBAGE PROBLEM OMG
It’s racist to call him racist 😊
There was a massive rally in Puerto Rico for trump today 😂 cope
As an African-Native American, I know that so-called comedian’s (Madison Square Garden) performance was designed to be inflammatory in content. To frame what he said as “jokes”, is giving racists a pass.
So called comedian? 😂 Dude, he told a bad joke. He was hired as entertainment because he’s popular in New York. He’s not part of the Trump campaign.
Also, Puerto Rico has a waste disposal issue. They can’t recycle or burn trash. A lot of their plumbing is outdated, so it drains into their rivers and pollutes the local ecosystem.
KillTony is a roast comedian. He’s made way more offensive jokes. The Puerto Rico joke was bad, but it’s not “giving racists a pass.” 😂
Why should trump apoligize over something he didnt say, wow its about pr garbage problem not about pr its a joke
As a Puerto Rican woman, I grew up with family members making jokes. So you already know, I know how to take one. I’m not gonna be sensitive and emotionally invested over a joke that Tony said. Maybe this will have the administration look at the issues at the island is currently having with garbage.
But I’m not voting for Tony. I’m voting for Donald Trump. 🇺🇸 pa’ que tú lo sepas
You found one guy who switched from GOP to Ind over MAGA. He wasn’t ever gonna vote Trump anyway 😂. Desperation
Oh my God the news is so toxic get over it already get a life😮
The latitino defending Trump as not racist is from Mars.
Trump never rented his apartments to black.
When you hear that America is for Americans from Trump and Make America great again Immigrants eating pets
Exchange Puerto Rica for Sweden etc.
I’m from Africa and disagree
Don’t vote for hatred
That comedian’s material was screened, selected and cast by the Republican national party for that Trump rally. There’s no getting out of it. We all know the Trump used Puerto Ricans is second class citizens and does not see them the genuine good people that they are. I hope Latino voters all over the USA. Take this very seriously and vote for Kamala Harris.
That’s it, make a comment from a comedian the headlines so we don’t notice the President of the United States calling half the country garbage. Good, unbiased reporting as usual NBC!
You guys are such a joke
If only we could take the garbage out of D.C..
It’s been piling up for years.
Desperation hahahah
Puerto Ricans! You’re sitting at the big boy table! Time to clean up your beaches or get embarrassed ! That’s how the world works!
Citizens in Puerto Rico know there’s a problem because there’s no landfills.
Why haven’t the Democrats fix this?
President Trump’s gonna fix it ! 🇺🇸👍🏽❤️
Was there so much outrage when Don Rickles used to make jokes like this? People have gotten soft comedy and dying. The left and right have become insufferable.
Look carefully at the PA early voting ballot requests. Note the *MASSIVE NUMBER OF MAIL-IN BALLOT REQUESTS FOR 65+ AGE GROUP* … suggests some shenanigans around ballot harvest/pre-fill for vulnerable seniors who may not notice someone else turned in their ballot. This is alarming and should be watched IMHO.
The comedian was aware that Puerto Rico in fact has a landfill/garbage problem. A study done by the EPA found that Puerto Rico could run out of landfill space in 2-4 years. They have 29 landfills that are all over capacity and don’t meet Federal Standards. He wasn’t referring to the people. He was talking about the fact that Puerto Rico is quickly becoming a floating landfill. If you talk about “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” you aren’t bad-mouthing the fish in the ocean. Nothing wrong with the people and nothing wrong with the island. They just have too much garbage. End of story.
TRUMP 2024
I like how he pointed out that Puerto Rico has a trash problem. Didn’t know that till now.
Why should he apologize he didn’t say it .
Wait so does that mean Biden needs to apologize for calling half of the entire American population “Garbage”? I mean if we going by what the Democrats are saying about “Trump made the comedian say it on his behalf” then surely, Biden saying it from his own mouth should account for presenting his own views of half of his own people right?
“…a lot of outrage…” sorry i live here in the city and I am a latina, there isnt “a lot” at all….we know it was a joke about the trash issue not calling people trash… my PR friends laughed at it too. We are voting for trump’s policies not a comedian punchline
https://youtube.com/shorts/7_9HwjWOTZ0?si=w13FS3dGDB0yzyrk
But it’s okay for George Lopez to call all Mexicans thieves at the Kamala Harris Rally. Puerto Rico friends of mine have told me they do have a trash problem it was a joke get over it
I don’t care what anyone says 😡 i care about a better economy 💪
Did Biden help Puerto Rico these past four years 🤔 nooooo
Garbage is a mild comment for what is coming, life will be very different for latinos in the US under Trump and MAGA.
tRump is incapable of apoligizing. His fragile ego is unavailable and only his own agenda will ever be placed as a valid stance in their eyes.
Grow Up ..
OMG…. TRUMP NEVER SAID THAT…
HE WAS A BAD COMEDIAN
I sincerely Wonder Who the hell’s idea was this comedian
Tony is right! Im glad be brought attention to what’s going on. Im voting for Trump ❤
Don’t let Kamala pull the wool over your eyes. Kamala has not been able to make the case as to how she would fix the economy and secure the border even with friendly networks like The View and CNN. Kamala is now resorting to name calling and paying musicians to attend her rallies and lying about Trump’s positions.
Kamala wants US taxpayers to pay housing and health care for 21 million unvetted migrants and will sign a bill to allow 2 million more in per year. Waltz jokes, he will invest in a ladder company so unvetted migrants could scale the wall. Under Trump there was an executive order, Remain In Mexico, it did not allow unvetted migrants to cross the border and cost taxpayers nothing. Harris and Biden decided on day one of their administration not to follow the remain in Mexico Order and allowed unvetted migrants to flood the border. They are actually flying migrants throughout the country essentially making every State a Border State.
Kamala’s high corporate taxes, price fixing plan and tax on capitol gains will cause international business to leave the US for countries that have a low cooperate taxes like, Ireland. Trump will give a lower cooperate tax rate only to businesses that manufacture in the US and will put reciprocal tariffs only on countries that put tariffs on goods exported from the United States.
Under Trump 2016 to 2020 inflation was low, prices were reasonable and the border and globe were more secure because Trump would not hesitate to pick up the phone to speak to world leaders whereas Kamala has avoided the PM of Israel and did not show for a Catholic Benefit and her co- chair mocked the sacrament of communion with Doritos, (Kamala’s favorite).
It was the comedian who said it and DonOld did not even offer an apology???He said he knew nothing and had not heard anything about it??? Liar!!!!!!!!!!He is trying to distance himself from the rude and racist remarks made by the comedian while they are at the same rally????
Say No to Trump
Vote From Hungary 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I don’t care what Tuesday do. He is a razor he’s a naughty. Do you know that yourself? That’s all I could tell you you gotta. You gotta be very ignorant not to see you. I see you all the time. The guy that went there and said what he said. Don’t have to drop hire him to go in there. Is it whatever he wanted? And he said you gonna tell me Donald Trump in new that he was gonna say this come out to.
Ding Donald already knew that this cover. Don’t say that bro how angry you people. You know that you’re very angry ago. I’m sorry, dude. I gotta see II gotta tell you. The way it is bro angry, that’s it.
That’s funny considering the shadow governor endorsed Donald Trump yesterday
So yeah actual people who are not paid 🙄 are on trump s side . Watch his rally
Watch her rally when they are booing her off but trump never gets bood off the stage. Tuesday if you want ww3, a terrible economy and absolutely no borders then vote for Harris but if u want peace, a great economy and a secure border. Vote trump. We know what he was able to do. She is clearly lieing to us and trying to distract from the fact that she has decimated our borders and let illegal migrants in . And look at the results. If it’s not
Them getting everything handed to them all the rights and privileges of the American citizens without being a citizen and thenour children suffer our children go without. All Because of the border Zar. Harris. And if you don’t believe me just go to a blue state and you will see
Latinos should have been known he’s racist he didn’t know that pr was america
I live every day in a state that the law makers care more about the illegal migrants than the actual citizens. So if you want America To Become a 3rd world County vote for Harris if you want America back to its GLORY when we were not a Joke then please VOTE TRUMP AND VANCE PUT AMERICA FIRST
❤ ❤ ❤ Trump 2024
so
Must be true why did you leave …….
The message was that Not enough is being done for disaster areas., which leaves US disaster areas looking bad… Trump would change all that.. Trump is the candidate who has, by action done so much for the latin community, including the best business startup programs to date. Hes never been against immigrants- what he’s concerned about is All of the world’s countries trying to pick their criminal citizens-and push them through the San Diego, CA border ( the busiest border in the world) which then puts US citizens at risk.. He’s always said that he welcomes immigrants who are willing to do good for themselves, work and do good – not harm- to the American people. If you don’t want the war draft (women too) 18-24 years old, then Please vote for Trump in a hurry. .. middle eastern leaders would Absolutely Dis a woman in office ( that’s just how they’ve always thought, culturally.) .At this time of heightened security, we need a man who’s proven to keep the US out of war. This year people are voting for their needs- Not celebrities’ whims J.
And with that Trump just lost the Latino vote.
This is what matters most now ? The USA on a brick of a crisis. The people are concerned about how they’re going to survive the next year, we may enter WW3 and democrats talk about who should be offended by a comedian?? What???!!!! How many people still don’t see this?
Hispanics for trump ! 🫡😎
Pero tron no lodijo pero pago a ese tarado para que lo dijera
https://youtu.be/CgC3OLT78vI?si=H69Jad_REwvFmIYW
OMG what we are watching in this country..
Someone in the campaign should have reviewed the comedian’s routine. This is an idiotic move, and it isn’t good for Trump.
Get over it. 🙄
Trump has been going so fast to ralleys he can’t keep up with all the speakers someone has chosen. Trump did not say those things the comedian said.
Trump didn’t make the remark your asking an apology from the wrong guy😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a 🤡 these people are
Trump doesnt say sorry because you will simply find something else to cry about
Anyone that loves trump should get a marriage counselor and a psychologist quick
There are no longer Republicans is a strong and correct answer, there are no longer Republicans
See. The most inspiring story of a Democrate voted Republican
It wasn’t racist comments about Puerto Ricans. It was a comment about the island that has a waste issue.
Cry babies
We Puerto Rican are not Snowflakes!!! President Trump 2024!!!❤❤❤
Stop saying it was a racist speech.
Yesssssss Yesssssss kamala Yesssssss
Since PR is constantly ravaged by hurricanes. it is awash in debris and destruction from them.
The ends of the world if we see a hen crow like a roaster
RAPISTrump is a RACIST too…
Shameful
This lady said the guy who made the comments is a COMEDIAN. DANG in then you would know CANCEL CULTURE , AN FREEDOM OF SPEECH, IF YOU don’t get the joke you should stop watching tv
How is the Joke Racist when the Garbage problem on the island is a Hugh problem! That is a Fact
https://youtu.be/28d7Rxo09gk?si=f9wB3DsddOqHGzOU
Trump didn’t even know about it till afterwards. LATINOS aren’t offended! Stop your lies. Play the real facts! Oh I forgot you were paid off. As a citizen I feel very offended that you will lie to the people. I agreed your fake news out there exists.
We care more about a joke the the real issues facing us? How stupid is this?
I don’t watch that crap but I heard Mencia did the same thing. My Puerto Rican friend lives here because it sucks there so it’s kinda true. It should be state 51 and should be raised up to better standards
Sir, i was at that rally and live there, there was 3 people protesting trump at the statue before the entrance to the venue…. and uhhhh those were the 2 interviews you got???? amazing stuff man. Way to earn your keep
the comedian was referring to the trash build due to hurricane and the help that was supposed to take place the Democrats blocked. Trump sent supplies to P.R. and it was found in a warehouse held there by the Democrat Governor.
No dignity
Trump 2024. If you are offended by comedy, then you are just a weak individual.
Ese que hablo no es Puerto Rican es un indigente que nacio en New York por eso sus comentarios no reflejan el sentir de los Puerto Riquenos trump es rasista y no lo queremos
Its called comedy people
I heard if Trump wins the people are going to be paying a whole lot of import taxes on all the Imports they buy when Trump puts tariffs on them countrys because then they are going to pass on the cost of the Tariffs to who ever buys their products I buy a lot of import goods I won’t like paying that extra money
I could care less what Puerto Ricans think. They have no power on the mainland.
He telling you he don’t like you but you don’t care
We know what Trump is really all about stirring up racial hatred and dividing us VOTE FOR HOPE Harris for President
Puerto Ricans are outraged by a joke from a media person and are not outraged by the loss of a Puerto Rican woman at the hands of an illegal immigrant.
Trump 2024
The Arch Bishop of Puerto Rican better ask the Puerto Rican government for an Apology for stealing billions in disaster relief funds and not dealing with the garbage as if they don’t have the money for it. They are the ones responsible for garbage so ask them to apologize. We do not like inflation which is what the Democrats offer and tax hikes and interest rate hikes to make houses an cars less affordable. Do we really want to vote to continue the bad job they been doing?
