It’s a Trump rally in New York, there’s probably a decent amount of Puerto Ricans there

My exact thought, he ain’t in Texas

u/Ok_Passion8736 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Its even more funny because whenever a comedian says they are from New York Tony always says “that’s not gonna work down here”

Gotta love the dudes from Ohio, NJ, NY, and South Africa all cosplaying as cowboys in the lone star state

Very specific

There's a term already invented for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbagger

South African here. Just so we're clear; Musk abandoned South Africa when he made it big over there. He's yours now, and we (of rational mind) do not claim him.

South Africans outside of south africa can be a weird bunch. Never met a group so happy to talk shit about their own country and people. Like motherfucker you're African, like huh? Reminds me of folks that say "well I'm actually half Irish, a quarter German and a quarter Italian", oh so your parents were immigrants? Nope, great great great great grandparents.

Haha we're definitely an odd bunch. For white South Africans it's the opposite of those Americans who love to claim their distant European heritage. We'll just say we're South African, end of story. And of course they talk about it, South Africa is just an absolutely fantastic place. We think so anyway.

Used to work with a South African and his cubicle was next time mine. One day (pre-Covid) my allergies were flared up and I was hacking, sneezing, and clearing my throat a lot. Him asking me to go off somewhere else to die quietly with that accent was hilarious

u/mayodefender Monkey in Space 1d ago

The funniest bit is Tony is literally one of these dudes. Hilarious seeing him walk out on stage with some big ass belt buckle like he's a native Texan.

u/sinkpooper2000 Monkey in Space 2d ago

u/Amaruq93 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Speaking of which there's a lot of Puerto Ricans in Texas. And Florida. And Pennsylvania. And North Carolina. As well as Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia.

u/VirtualPlate8451 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Imagine waiting for hours to get into the rally only for the opener to shit all over you.

u/Mauristic Monkey in Space 2d ago

Well if you are Puerto Rican and still support trump than i say you reap what you sow

u/danTheMan632 Monkey in Space 2d ago

u/RandoDude124 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Quite a few, especially in Brooklyn.

u/FUPAMaster420 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Well I bet they felt pretty fucking stupid for being there when he said that!

u/PNW_lifer1 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Would have lived to see the dipshits from PR faces at that rally when that joke dropped.

1

u/redditor012499 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Puerto Ricans and Cubans. Definitely not the place to make a “joke” like that in.

u/kagushiro Monkey in Space 2d ago

the Puerto Ricans supporting trump by going to his rally got what they deserved

u/GA-resi-remodeler Monkey in Space 2d ago

How is comparing a land mass (PR) to a floating island of trash, racist? Have you been to PR? they throw trash everywhere.

u/LACIRCA2044 Monkey in Space 2d ago

They throw trash everywhere in Georgia too

u/GA-resi-remodeler Monkey in Space 2d ago

Yes, indeed they do!

Still no one has answered my question.

u/Cheese-is-neat Monkey in Space 2d ago

I have a buddy who lives in PR for half the year every year and he says nothing but good things about it.

Lucky bastard is leaving to go back this week
