Fortunately the facts are different, in the last referendum on the status only some 23% participated in the vote, of which statehood proved to be overwhelming majority. The reality is different, there are some that want statehood but the majority prefer their identity. Contrary to the bourgeois media, there is strong support for independence. But to the point, Puerto Rico is a colony and under the Jones Act, the conditions to prosper economically are extremely difficult. The least the president could have done was waive it immediately following the storm but it took him 8 days. That's a huge disrespect as it prevented vital aid from reaching the island a time it mattered the most. That's partly the reasons for the sour feelings towards Trump. Regardless, I respect your opinion and I understand why you feel the way you do.
