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.”
Plus only 20% of truck drivers reported back to work. They want big money to move the supplies.
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.
How is it with no form of communication, every time I turn on the TV, there she is. The mayor of San Juan. She has time and electricity and phones to talk to media. She could had had FEMA whipped into shape by now.
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.
Do you want him to take a boat down there himself, armed with an ax, and clear a roadway so the supplies can be moved in?
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.
