Owe, forget that!

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S claim he’d help with Puerto Rico’s debt has already gone broke.

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Wednesday the administra­tion has no intention of relieving Puerto Rico’s $70 billion debt.

“I think what you heard the President say is that Puerto Rico is going to have to figure out a way to solve its debt problem,” Mulvaney told Bloomberg News. “We are not going to pay off those debts.”

Trump had told Fox News, “You know they owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street. We’re gonna have to wipe that out . . . You can wave goodbye to that.”
