"I was devastated. I’m a Puerto Rican. How you say that my country is trash? It’s just like saying America. He talks all about the crazy stuff about America. He doesn’t talk great about America. He wants to make America great? You don’t hear him say how wonderful this country is and how much the immigrants make this country a better place."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Maricelis Torres, Colchester, Connecticut resident:
"I think what people are misconstruing is that he called the Puerto Ricans trash. He called the island a floating piece of trash. They don’t believe in recycling, so, and it’s all building up. And even my family that lives there right now even said it is getting very trashy here. So, you know, I laughed at it. My family laughed at it. We thought it was funny. People are very sensitive these days. So like, I understand. But I think people should educate themselves just a little bit more."

STORYLINE:
Democrats stepped up their attacks on Donald Trump on Monday, a day after a comedian opening a rally for the former president called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” a comment that drew wide condemnation and highlighted the rising power of a key Latino group in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
From Labor Day to this past weekend, both campaigns have made more visits to Pennsylvania than to Georgia, Arizona and Nevada combined, according to Associated Press tracking of the campaigns’ public events.
The state has some of the fastest-growing Hispanic communities, including in Reading and Allentown, where more than half of the population is Hispanic. Donald Trump is scheduled to speak there later Tuesday.
Pennsylvania’s Latino eligible voter population has more than doubled since 2000, from 206,000 to 620,000 in 2023, according to Census Bureau figures.
More than half of those are Puerto Rican eligible voters.
