Not part of Trump's base but a Libertarian looking from that point of view not supporting Trump. I know that is a little complicated for you but try to comprehend.

Yes socialized health care has to go. And we are forced to deal with Puerto Rico this time. But it should be a lesson for the future. Our country is too broke to support corrupt 3rd world territories.

Then pehaps we whouldn't have supported policies that led to and exacerbated PR's poverty?

Just sayin'...they are part of the US..and yet have restrictions placed on them to hobble their economy'. I get it, the Right would like to just jettison the territory--rather than helping them rise to the level of the rest of the country.

Trump's attitude is clear to any with eyes.

Don't waste your breath. You're arguing with a religiously anti-Trumper. Pearls before swines and all..

Also looking at your post history it's nothing but you calling people racist over and over again. You realize in 2017 no one cares if they are called racist anymore? Hillary and her garbage party beat that horse to death in 2016.

It seems you like to call people racist when you have to defend your ideas or every time your ideas are challenged. What power do you think that gives you? Why do you think that anyone would care if some anonymous stranger online thinks they are racist? You are basically just showing how uneducated you are and are coming off as the stereotypical Snowflake. Urinating and defecating on herself because she has just been triggered.
This.

So, Trump's E.O. on subsidies was Constitutional, and according to law. But, you wish to have a King, like King Barry I "The Waster." I hate to break it to you, but we are a Republic, not a Kingdom.

As for Puerto Rico, Obama visited the Island once in eight years, and that was for a four hour million dollar fund raiser. He didn't do squat for Puerto Rico.

FEMA has been in Puerto Rico since the storm hit, and, contrary to the biased Press, our Navy was off the coast ready to render aid even before the storm hit.

Not only is Trump having a good week, but the liberals, especially Hollywood, are having a really bad week!

Are you drunk?? I was no Obama fan..and have criticized his policies many times here. I voted against Obama twice..although it was hard with McCain..because I shuddered to think of Palin a heartbeat away. Trump drove me out of the Republican party..along with millions of moderates.

US policy for the last 100 years has been to ignore and exploit Puerto Rico. Obama continued the trend. So is Trump. Yes there is some hurricane relief going on..but unless systemic changes are enacted..it's just a waste.

Perhaps, just for a change, you could actually address the content of a post, rather than reverting to your agenda and the shopworn deflections of ..'but Obama and 'Hillary did.."

Agreed.

He enhanced the swamp with a new layer of corruption.
