Anuel AA and Justin Quiles show their support for Trump at a Republican rally in Johnstown (Pennsylvania)

Puerto Rican singers Anuel AA and Justin Quiles have declared their support for Donald Trump’s presidential bid at a Republican rally in Pennsylvania.

Two more artists have thrown their support behind Donald Trump’s bid to return to the White House.

Puerto Rican reggaeton singers Anuel AA and Justin Quiles, both wearing “Make America Great Again” caps, announced the former president had their vote, during a Republican campaign rally in Johnston, Pennsylvania.

Trump introduced the pair as “two amazing Puerto Rican musical legends”, though the crowd appeared unfamiliar with the two and at first did not cheer them enthusiastically.

Anuel spoke first, saying Trump was “the best president the world has seen.”

The rapper then called on his fellow Puerto Ricans to vote for the ex-president.

“I personally spoke with him, he wants to help Puerto Rico grow and succeed as a country,” he said.

“He wants to keep helping Latinos in the U.S. Let’s keep doing things the right way and let’s make America great again,” this time eliciting a more enthusiastic response from the crowd.

Quiles calls Trump ‘the most honest president’

Quiles then took his turn to speak, reading his words from a piece of paper. He said he felt that Trump was “the most honest president we ever had.”

“Saying things how they are, not what you think people want to hear, and that’s very important. A lot of Latinos, we stand strong next to President Trump. Thank you for sharing back there how important building Puerto Rico up again is, and not just Puerto Rico- let’s make America great again!”

The two rappers were the most prominent Latino artists who have endorsed Trump’s candidacy so far.

Other musicians who have expressed support for the Republican candidate include Billy Ray Cyrus, Jason Aldean, Kanye West, and Kid Rock, who performed at the Republican National Convention held in July.
