Trump, all he has done, is to say aloud what most in this society speaks behind closed doors.

Change in Puerto Rico
There are times when it looks as if nothing is happening and then suddenly new events are unleashed; but while the in-depth situation makes a turn-around, even the best analysts may take time to notice it.
