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

Yes, they should do what they can.

Some areas cannot be reached because the bridges are damaged. That seems farfetched telling people to apply on line when the electric is out on most of the island. Very hard to believe. That is like saying swim to the United States for help. Impossible.
They need the Army Corps of Engineering to get the bridges passable.

It's you Leftists who are dividing the country, and it began with Obama, "King Barry I" "The waster" and expert race baiter.

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.
The truth is B, Trump has brought out the heartlessness of a group of Americans, his supporters, who only care about Trump and nothing else. He could start a nuclear war and they would cheer. He could destroy their home with a bulldozer and they would cheer. The admiration to this clown is just utterly amazing.

Trump continues to blow the dog whistle to his bigoted base. He is the one that divides the nation and acts as if he is King of the USA.

I pray the General get his support that he needs to start mobilizing - this is a HUGE task for some manager at a dock. I have 12 co workers there- I think you should also volunteer
I fully understand the problem, logistics.....seems those on the left don't. This is an island about 2200 miles of shore....logistics....

I have volunteered many times, what about you? When Katrina came through, there is no telling how many tons of water my Chinook delivered....

Take off your blinders man. Trump has done nothing but divide this country. He has blame democrats for all his political failures even though Republicans have the majority in both house, he has done the exact same things that he chastised Obama for and blamed democrats for calling him out on the hypocrisy, he verbally attacks Americans for exercising their 1st Amendment rights, and now he verbally attacks a country and mayor that was devastated by a hurricane.

I want you to name one thing Trump has done to try to bring this country together?
