The fact that outlying areas on an island prone to hurricanes do not have an alternative means of supplying electricity for at least a command center facility with communications is an indication of unpreparedness.
Someone needs to cancel his twitter account on him. He could be remembered as a decent president if he just shut up and stopped trying to market himself all the time.
Someone needs to persuade him to switch from Twitter to Snapchat
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.
So Trump feels that Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers, Puerto Ricans want everything done for them, Blacks are committing "White Genocide" , and White Supremacists are "good people"
The people who answered yes to this question are either
A) Russian trolls
B) Heartless Americans who have never experienced any kind of adversity in their lifetimes
C) Stupid.
To save my own faith in humanity I am going to tell myself that all of them are Russian trolls. There is no way any American can be so heartless or stupid as to think Trumps tweets are okay.
What's that supposed to excuse? They are forcing the outlying mayors to get to San Juan & telling them that people in those outlying areas with no electricity need to apply online.
They should get into their own vehicles & go to the villages & take reports. They should load the cars with food, some water, & the filters that make water potable.
From the news footage I have seen the container ships are neatly lined up in the harbor, the semi's loaded with food and supplies are neatly lined up on shore. Those are the Federal disaster folks doing that. It looks like they have a decent logistics chief.
But in all the footage, I have yet to see ONE local or commonwealth employee anywhere. According to data I have seen the government workforce in Puerto Rico is 286,000 employees or 28.6% of the workforce.
[quote=antinimby;49677400]What a crock this thread is and the biased thread title. Notice the word attributed to Trump is "attacks" while the OP downplays what the San Juan Mayor does as being only "mean."
The truth is that the San Juan Mayor is the one that attacked Trump first. Trump is responding back at her attacks. Every bit of what Trump said is true. The democrat mayor failed her city and now they try to blame Trump, the easy scapegoat. Trump has every right to point this out.
You haters are such a joke. Everyone that's not a hater can see right through your chicanery.[/QUOTE
Totally agree with this post. The Puerto Rican people have been conditioned to be so completely dependent on government that they just don't do much to help themselves or seem to know even how to work together. What a swamp and this is going to be a huge waste of taxpayer money to rebuild this island full of these thankless, needy people. Most of them are antiamerican anyway, but I can see they want to suck everything they can get out of the mainland.

WHAT?!
"diversity"? What does diversity have to do with the price of tea in China?
