Former President Trump has pledged a new tax cut for “family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one.” This would function like a child tax credit and in the words of the President, “it’s about time that they were recognized.”
This was said at a massive rally in Madison Square Garden in the heart of midtown Manhattan. The crowd was massive and the liberal media freaked out by the very notion, likening it to a “pro-Nazi rally” in 1939 before Trump had even spoken.
One speaker, a comedian, has been spotlit for a joke about Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage. Democrats have capitalized on this to show how Republicans feel about Puerto Ricans. But Puerto Rico does have a garbage problem that North America has failed to solve. The speaker said nothing of Puerto Ricans themselves. It wasn’t a great joke by any stretch. I myself did not at all like the sticks-and-stones Palestinians/Jews joke at all but I did actually laugh when he said that “Travis Kelce might be the next OJ Simpson.” (Note: I do not want anything bad to happen to Taylor Swift other than for her to stop making victim baiting music.)
A Trump spokesperson said that “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
Politicians who truly care about Puerto Ricans might focus on how Puerto Ricans cannot vote in the Presidential election unless they leave the island but they CAN be drafted for war that the President that they do not elect involves them in.
