<\/a>United States President Donald Trump gave a U.S. territory its independence and appointed a president on Friday..<\/p>\n
Trump said he spoke about a meeting with week with U.S. Virgin Islands President Kenneth Mapp to discuss the country\u2019s recovery from Hurricane Maria.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met with the president of the Virgin Islands,\u201d he said during a speech on Friday morning, at a political conference for social conservatives held in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n
The statement seemed odd because, well, Trump, until Friday, was the president of the Virgin Islands, as the president of all U.S. territories and the American citizens who live there.<\/p>\n
Naturally, his comment drew plenty of responses on social media seeking to set the record straight, that in act the U.S. terrirtory is now independent.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the Vatican Enquirer said Puerto Rico is next, as the White House is actively seeking to name a president for the island territory soon to be a nation, wwhich might go a long way towards explaining the Trump administration\u2019s hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico compared to its efforts in Texas and Florida.<\/p>\n
