It sounds like this might be from an incorrect news story, unless you’re thinking of an unrelated incident:
www.snopes.com/…/donald-trump-puerto-ricans/
Did Trump Say He’ll Revoke U.S. Citizenship of All Puerto Ricans?
“We don’t really need these non-Americans and I don’t need their votes to win the presidency."

There was no truth to this story, which originated with Adobo Chronicles, a fake news website. The article didn’t garner much attention when it was originally published, but the story was eventually picked up by several Spanish-language websites, which then reported it as if it were real news.
While these web sites cited a “South American newspaper,” all of the information they reported originated on The Adobo Chronicles, a site whose disclaimer notes that its content is not meant to be taken seriously: “THE ADOBO CHRONICLES is your source of up-to-date, unbelievable news. Everything you read on this site is based on fact, except for the lies.”

Great job making up why I posted something instead of just fucking asking!
Also, your example starts with them being citizens, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to revoke their citizenship.
This is the kind of thing I’m referring to.
Context for how that was read to mean he didn’t understand.
Plus the tons of articles questioning his knowledge based on other things he said that sound like he doesn’t understand, and Biden pushing as part of his campaign.
It doesn’t help that he surrounds himself with people who openly state that Puerto Rico isn’t part of the US.
