View Poll Results: Were Trump's Tweets Attacking Puerto Rico Justified?
YES. San Juan Mayor Carmen Cruz's comments against Trump were exaggerated and she deserved a harsh reply. 105 36.71%
NO. Trump's tweets were heartless and mean, given that many PR residents have no water, food, gas, cell phone service, and no medical supplies. 181 63.29%
Voters: 286. You may not vote on this poll

I'm sure you never heard of her before this yet you judge her?

No worries. The term has been slung around this thread enough to make up for his omission.

Please, give us your in depth knowledge about what is needed to prepare a helicopter to be shipped over the sea? What has to be done to them once they get there..what the dimensions of the internal ship are....provide the L/W/H of the Chinook....I've asked you this once....still no answer....I Wnder why??

Again, where are those ships, what is/was their current situation. It's obvious you have no clue about the logistical side of the military.

Yep, I was way off....does not mean my other stats were incorrect...

To save my own faith in humanity I am going to tell myself that all of them are Russian trolls. There is no way any American can be so heartless or stupid as to think Trumps tweets are okay.
I say all of the above

Where would she have gotten such a shirt? Are the T-shirt making shops up and running? Or maybe Anderson Cooper brought her the t-shirt and asked her to wear it, in order to politicize the news further?

As I said, previously, American Airlines has shuttled supplies for over a week, from North Carolina companies. There are filters to make water potable. The incompetent federal "relief workers" need to get off their lazy butts & get out of the air cconditioning & get those filters. They need go start getting those filters into the hands of people who need water. If they expect those mayors from outlying villages to get to them, they can get to the villages. If they take filters to villages with creeks, they can take some fuel to them.
I beg to differ. She attacked Trump. Everyone ignores that FACT.
You seem smart. Do you actually think they were told to apply on line? I am in Fl. And we just had the eye of Irma go over us. No one was told to apply on line. That is stupid when there is no electric. They have to air drop supplies or get there by vehicle, wagon, bulldozers or horseback, atvs, boat, mules whatever.

You are oversimplifying.
They don't need to sit around. Airplanes have been invented. If the WASP ships had been sent they would have been there long ago with helicopters and supplies for the hospitals.

Do you understand that that type of t-shirt can be made by silkscreen? You need zero electricity to silkscreen.

And you are going to blame Anderson Cooper?

Are you kidding me?

The federal govt. botches the aide to Puerto Rico (as confirmed by the Three Star General) and you folks attack the mayor, the people, the media.

Seriously something is wrong here and it's not Anderson Cooper. -- lol.
