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

Well done sir, you have just repeated the POTUS excuse which is total BS. That's a BS lie, there are communities helping themselves down there, the biggest problem is that being an island they can't rely on the help rolling in from adjacent states like in Texas and Florida.

Stop the ball face disgusting lie that PuertoRicans and those in US Virgin Islands are somehow inferior in their moral and community pride than those in the states.

He is pathological.

But apparently so are many others, who think that his words are justifiable. They are just as bad.

Trump was happier when the mayor was complimenting him.

Now that she is critical of him, he's okay with Americans dying. After all, these people ion a disaster-ravaged island want "everything done for them".

Drop dead, Trump.

Iowa has about the same number of people as PR. Do you suppose that if the entire state of Iowa had been decimated by mother nature with no roads, no water, no food, no medical supplies, our initial response would have been so anemic? Would we place relief supplies on the far side of the Mississippi and tell them to come and get it? Would the president of the US tell the mayor of Des Moines to go F himself if he pleaded for help?

So we get hit with 3 biblical level storms within a couple of weeks of each other, one an island, that was in disrepair before the storm and it's Trump's fault????????


The more vociferous the outrage against Trump over PR the more ridiculous and pathetic the complainers appear.
^^^^^^This. Nobody talks about Ray Nagin, anymore, and his illegal, malfeasance before, during, and after Katrina. Bush got blamed for his incompetence, because of the MEDIA. Now, the same thing is happening to Trump who has done the right things in all these recent storms.

it is mr T's fault that he blasted the mayor- it is his fault for not deploying the military- or understand how it all works - HE just said--oohh they surrounded by water- oh they in debt--
Never been at war? the army corps will build you a city in 3 days - 50,000 troops will deploy with in the week- this was not a bomb... this was a hurricane forming over days... the military exercises all the time for instant deployment-
again if you do not know or lived it __ zip

The media didn't twist anything. This came directly from his tweets as it usually does!

Oh, yeah, in Trumpland, where anything he says is not only acceptable but celebrated, no matter how odious.

Not only does he have zero leadership skills, he lacks the basic humanity that any decent person is born with. What a sorry excuse for a human being.
