I was wondering why this comedian called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage, so I Googled "Puerto Rico garbage" and scrolled past the headlines from the past few days. They have a massive garbage problem! It was all made much worse by hurricane Maria. It was dumb for Hinchcliffe to make the joke, and it was dumb for the Trump campaign to hire him in the first place, but Puerto Rico really does have a huge problem with garbage. Their landfills are overwhelmed, and mismanaged. They've been sent millions of dollars to clean it up, but people (in Puerto Rico) want to know what they've done with the money.
