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

Trump slams Puerto Rico mayor for 'poor leadership', says 'they' want everything 'done for them' - ABC News

Disgrace, worst President in modern history.

This is the part where Trump fans respond with "but Obama, but Hillary"

I am surprised he didn't actually use the word "lazy". I guess he figured the implication alone was enough for his base to follow along.

That statement is complete and total Bull**** and you know it. If you don't, seek help.

He is... why is the mayor of San Juan giving political speeches in front of mountains of undistributed relief supplies?

One error with your post, he's the worst in all of US history, not just modern. He will go down as the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

She is. Its already been shown that there are tons of supplies at PR ports. The issue has been the lack of drivers for trucks to get the goods to where they have to go. That isn't a federal problem. Something tells me, however, that this leftist loon wouldn't be making the same noise faced with an identical situation under the obama administration.

Do we ignore them for not texting us their needs?

Marshall law, send Honore in. He knows how to deal with incompetent corrupt people and get the job done.
Pay attention. Even General Honore is critical of Trump and is calling for more boots and equipment on the ground and is praising the Puerto Rico national guard. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...ump-for-puerto

Not like the 3.5 million people in PR can watch cable news or access the Internet.

In this case I am not judging what Trump said. I have never been to Puerto Rico and don't know how their elected leaders do things there. Maybe Trump is just telling it like it is?? Trump did seem supportive in helping get supplies and food to PR.
Trump and his administration have repeatedly called this a "good news story," even as people are in dire situations and dying from lack of help. Is that what you call "telling it like it is"? It seems more like Trump patting himself on the back so he can feel good about going off to spend yet another weekend golfing.

Hindsight is always 20-20 and there was every reason to believe help from the mainland would have come sooner than than it did!
At least 15 days is prudent in a hurricane prone area, 30 would be better. I have more than that and don't live in an area prone to natural disasters.
