Disaster relief & donald trump

[Klingsor]

Can't remember another president - or even Trump during TX & FL - talk about how a state or territory would have to pay for relief/rebuilding. They're US Citizens.

Just add it to Mexico's tab.

Golfing and blowing taxpayer dollars on his weekly jaunts to his resorts are more important.

Lost weekend: How Trump’s time at his golf club hurt the response to Maria

Oh the mass hysteria and serial Congressional investigations if Obama had done it.

That's a stretch, even for the Wa Po. Yawn.

That and stirring a lot of SHIT. But on actually setting FOOT in Puerto Rico, he hasn't gotten around-to-it, YET.

Have you and @sargon20 ever actually been seen simultaneously?

How do we know you are not the same person? You sure seem to think with the same small brain.

There goes that damn broken record...

Yes it's true Trump doesn't give a crap about Puerto Rico.

Analysis: Trump’s apathy about a U.S. territory is reflected by his going to Bedminster. Again.​

Bush: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
Trump Administration: "This is a good news story".

And the usual denial of reality that afflicts only Republicans rages on.

Apparently, then, they must also be the same person as the mayor of San Juan.

Hurricane Maria a reminder of ‘second-class’ status for some
https://apnews.com/e651f0c707264669...-a-reminder-of-'second-class'-status-for-some

10 days after Hurricane Maria:
only 5% of Puerto Ricans have electricity
only 40% have potable water
Only 11% of cell towers fixed.
This in a country with a 600 billion dollar military budget.
UNACCEPTABLE
This is not a good news story.

Typical right wing response to facts - diminish the messenger.

Well, REALLY, what more did we EXPECT of these f---------------? People in dire circumstances, hungry, their homes devastated, and aid response slow. But not a word from them about any of it, Instead, like Trump did, their response is to attack and demonize the messenger.

Proves what matters to THEM, eh?
