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 donated $100 to the Hispanic Federation (it's in NYC) - look it up and send them some $$.


I'll likely donate more.


Everyone can do something.

The situation in Puerto Rico is transporting the containers. You need a truck cab & a commercial trucking license. Period.

Trump is right. I feel like the Mayor was just being dramatic to give herself some PR/factime worldwide.

Default MSNBC guest on Puerto Rico: o Rico: ‘This Is What White Nationalism Looks Like as Policy’

Quote:
He explained, “When you have a policy, when you have a belief that only white people are true Americans, Puerto Ricans are Americans — Donald Trump doesn’t care about that. Therefore he is attacking people and distracting from the fact that a response there to fellow American citizens has not been adequate.”

Jason Johnson on Puerto Rico: 'This Is What White Nationalism Looks Like as Policy' - Breitbart



What do you think?

The Teamsters Union is refusing to move the disaster relief. I haven't confirmed the demand for $50 an hour to move the over 10,000 pallets of relief that are sitting on the docks.



What I can say it - good luck to the Teamsters Unions when he Military takes over - 'cause they are going to need it. The US Military knows how to move goods in a Hostile Environment.

The Teamsters think they are tough? The Military deals with the Taliban and ISIS on a daily basis.

He has enough of a clue that he is able to con his base. The Trumpists are working OT today parroting Trump's attack on the people of Puerto Rico, including their local governments. They are trashing all things Puerto Rico.

That would be very difficult for her - she hasn't attended any of the FEMA meetings.
TV appearances can be so time consuming - Hair, Make-UP, Script, Proper Tee shirt & coaching talking points.

Everyone can do something.
Just some idle curiosity: would you (or anybody) ever donate to any outfit named "The White Federation"??
Just wondering.

Please....we wait for your response.
Maybe if he'd show a little empathy, and a little respect to the people in PR in the middle of this crisis. His twitter attacks took focus off the humanitarian effort and turned it into a political attack. An attack on the media, a false accusation against Democrats, an attack on the government of PR and an attack on the citizens of PR. He did the opposite of what any half decent leader would do with his tweets today about PR. He turned it into a chaotic political attack when the focus should have been on saving lives and having human empathy.
