Good God! Where do these morons come from?
I would likely pull my own eardrums out if you forced me to watch that insipid yet vile show.

I would ask that you do the same Dbones. Let's all go donate folks, concrete help is far better than lip service.

My take on this is, since this US territory and it's inhabitants are not part of Donny's base, he could care less and it is showing Bigly.

Donny should be spending less time on the NFL and a hell of a lot more time on PR!
This is from Sept 18th.

For Immediate Release September 18, 2017
President Donald J. Trump Approves Puerto Rico Emergency Declaration

Today, President Donald J. Trump declared that an emergency exists in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and ordered Federal assistance to supplement commonwealth and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Maria beginning on September 17, 2017, and continuing.

The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts. This action will help alleviate the hardship and suffering that the emergency may inflict on the local population, and provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property, and ensure public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in all 78 municipalities in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide, at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.

Brock Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Alejandro DeLaCampa as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected areas.

Also coming from the hypocrite who bankrupted his business four (or six) times, stiffed banks and investors and is a known deadbeat, has the incredible insensitivity and gall to tweet out that Puerto Rico owes money in the midst of the most devastation to hit the island in a century, while people are suffering and miserable. That will surely lift their spirits!

Being an ass is rather expected of him, but this raises questions about his mental stability. Who does this to people who have just experienced the trauma PR has?

"...Trump tweeted before Maria hit Puerto Rico, saying Wednesday: "Puerto Rico being hit hard by new monster hurricane. Be careful, our hearts are with you—will be there to help!"

...However, over the following five days he said nothing about the situation there, concentrating instead on attacking NFL players who don't sing the national anthem and threatening North Korea in a way that led the country to claim he had declared war on it...

Late Monday, Trump finally returned to the Puerto Rico issue, tweeting: "Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble. It's [sic] old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the island was destroyed, with billions of dollars owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities—and doing well. #FEMA"...

Since you are including me in your personal attack on multiple posts, can you please point out the "lie" you are referring to? If you read the article, you may have a better comprehension.

Although, maybe he wasn't reminding PR of their debts at a time of devastation and crisis. Maybe he is suggesting that they follow his lead and declare bankruptcy? Just being helpful?

Trump's Blatant Disregard for Puerto Rico
He had not forgotten PR. He told them they need to fork out the cash and pay back Wall Street what they owe them.

From what I'm reading, PR is receiving relief, just as Florida and Texas is. Trump has approved $1 billion in federal aid, and 10,000 federal employees are in PR or on their way assisting in rescue efforts. Trump is not addressing the hurricane verbally as he did the other two, but he is addressing it financially and with government personnel. On a personal note, two of the doctor I work for are from PR. Both of them have their entire families back of the island and are worried sick about them, having no information about what has become of any of them. And with no air travel in or out of the island, they are stuck waiting and wondering until air travel is once again possible and they can go and see them personally.
