IIRC, 97% of the residents didn't vote for statehood the last time it came up. In fact, they didn't vote at all.

I'm not sure Trump even knows it's his responsibility to help the place. At the very least we should probably raise awareness that people in US territories are Americans. Or even just that the US has other territories outside mainland besides Hawaii and Alaska.

As is the case with most rich, entitled people, his only responsibility is to himself and his fellow rich people.

The WLB thinks they are Mexicans.  I'm surprised he hasn't tried to build a wall around the island.
