So no one would be surprised if Trump didn't like "non-english speakers" who were not white.....and not rich?
Everything he says shows otherwise. So, take your choice. He's either lying about everything else....or lying about PR getting the same attention. Gotta be one or the other....
Wrong. No matter how you feeble your efforts are to spin it

Trump clearly states that rich and powerful people are better and smarter. PR is neither of those.
What does Bannon have to do with this? Is he president? No? Thought so.
Really? Pretty sure they do speak English actually, fluently at that...
My friends who are from Puerto Rico learned English and Spanish in elementary school before their parents moved to NY. So... care to explain that?

Here's an inconvenient truth for you and your ilk.

Authorities have reopened Puerto Rico’s biggest port but say efforts to speed relief supplies to the island devastated by Hurricane Maria are being hampered by heavy damage to roads, computer systems and other critical infrastructure.
Cargo ships carrying supplies from the mainland U.S. began arriving at San Juan’s port on Saturday. But distribution of water, food and temporary shelter is building slowly, federal officials and private companies taking part in the relief efforts said, with thousands of shipping containers waiting for transport at the port.
Mr. Ayala said in a telephone interview that most of the containers holding medicine, food, raw materials and other relief supplies have not moved, however.
“That part of logistics from our terminal, that supply chain has been interrupted,” he said. “The biggest challenge is how you can move the cargo. The cargo is here. The people of Puerto Rico should not have any fear that there is not going to be food or medicine on the island.
DHS’s current assessment is that there is sufficient numbers of U.S.-flagged vessels to move commodities to Puerto Rico,” DHS spokesman David Lapan said in an emailed statement. “The limitation is going to be port capacity to offload and transfer cargo, not vessel availability. Most of the humanitarian shipments will be through barges, which make up a significant portion (along with tugs) of the U.S.-flagged cargo fleet.”
So, more ships and more material will do nothing to help as they can't get it off the docks at this point. The government sent the SeaBees there to expedite critical infrastructure repairs so they can move it faster.
Given those facts let's hear YOU and the others cackling about how bad the response is give YOUR solutions.
C'mon, instead of flapping lips let's hear your expert opinions on how to improve logistics on the destroyed island...
the left is so bold they just lie to attack the president. The thing is there are things called measurable facts. in this case that would include 2 million meals either delivered or about to be.... billions of dollars already released. more than a dozen ships from the Navy and Coastguard already deployed to the island. more than 15,000 FEMA and Federal workers on the ground in PR and the VI.
but hey never met a Prog that would let facts get in the way of making some political hay.
It's almost like they want President Trump to fail in PR so they can gloat and say that he is incompetent.
Never mind that people would be suffering in the meantime.

Never let a tragedy go to waste. Never.
Not so much as one suggestion nor how they'd do anything different or better...
None. Just assume it has to do with racism.
I'll bet they believe Trump has a button to push to set earthquakes off in Mexico and another button to set hurricanes off to hit areas he doesn't like too...
When he goes there next Tuesday the outrage will transition from no instant gratification, to what hat he wears, and what shoes Melania wears... can see it now...
Well of course it is, that's why he was busy sending his 'I-N-S-A-N-E' 24 tweets attacking the NFL players the entire weekend!Without so much as a mention of the tragedy in Puerto Rico!
Plus we must account for his STUPIDIY. Don't forget when he went to Texas, DUMB-A** thought the people were therefor a RALLY, and talked about crowd-size! After VP Pence and his wife went there and demonstrated real humanity, Trump had to try a re-do!
TRUMP cares about SELF-GRATIFICATION and nothing else! He detests people of color.

When does everything stop being a race issue? Race is being injected into everything like we're living in 1950s Birmingham or something. It's exhausting. How can a country survive like this?

Just more partisan sniping from the clown car.
C'mon, pony up some solutions given the challenges being faced there right now. What would/could you do better?
Y'all can toss insults and accusations but NEVER,EVER solutions or ideas as that might take some work and personal thought instead of group think...

Uh how about at least mentioning the tragedy there? Then let's see, how about getting up off his fat butt, and asking for some advice about how we could help? Asking the leaders in Puerto Rico, then getting our people on the job.......gee that wasn't so freaking hard......now was it? Except for a racist IMBECILE!
