Remember that in June the Puerto Ricans honored a PR nationalist terrorist at their big parade. They obviously don't cherish America so the answer is no they are not real Americans.

The crowds cheered each of the principal characters in the drama that had unfolded for weeks: Oscar López Rivera, a 74-year-old who was convicted of leading a bomb-planting Puerto Rican nationalist group, and whose lengthy prison sentence was commuted in January; Melissa Mark-Viverito, the City Council speaker, who embraced Mr. López Rivera’s placement in the parade; and Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose reservations about the divisive guest were invisible as he grinned and glad-handed up the avenue.

Do you consider Puerto Ricans real Americans?
I don't think Trump knows they are Americans because PR just got leveled, and he is just tweeting about Hillary.

Heck, many people consider illegals real Americans. So, Puerto Rico is an EASY one.

IF Puerto Rico became its own country: how would that affect people living on the island? I'm guessing PR's here on the mainland would keep their US citizenship.

is it possible puerto rico isn't getting the coverage simply because there's no power & cell towers left standing?

Yes.

If the USA has been so presumptuous as to invade these lands, the residents there should be able to have the privileges and label, if they wish.
