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 love weekends. It is always fun on Saturday to wake up to the latest idiotic tweets of Trump. Lightens up the weekend news with humor. Wonder if it really is always on Saturday because his babysitters, Ivanka and Jared aren't around?

There’s no point in arguing with Trump supporters. They lack basic human decency, and often the courage to say what they really mean.

You mean play golf every weekend, whine like a child when things don't go his way, attack mayors of cities that were heavily damaged by a hurricane, and constantly hold rallies?

I live in FL and they do have flood maps . I would not buy a house close to a body of water. I am in a C category. Not a flood zone, Now PR is an island, Very vulnerable to water and wind. No buffer land at all. This is why it is so catastrophic being hit by a cat 5. That is major. God Help Them.

I love what the Lt. General Russel Honoré said about Trump's outrageous statement about the mayor. "She is sleeping on a cot in a shelter and I hope he enjoys his day of golf."

Is there a link showing what he most recently said?

Inept? Florida and Texas are in more debt than PR. a "collaborative" effort? PR is almost destroyed how do you expect them to collaborate? Trump is doing a crap job on this one.

Is the possibility of hurricanes a new phenomenon for this area of the world? You would think so by the reaction of the mayor.
