Mayor Cruz had every right to attack Trump because the White House came out with an overly rosy report about how wonderful the relief effort is going and that everything is going so well in Puerto Rico. That's what set her off and I don't blame her.
Same thing with Trump's bald faced lie about him not getting a benefit from the proposed tax cuts. It's a pattern with him, he's a chronic liar. He's psychologically incapable of giving an honest assessment of anything.
Cruz compared the relief effort to a genocide... she is a political hack of the worst kind.

Who would want to move for such an incompetent mayor? She has No leadership abilities. She is a joke.
In the middle of a discussion of Trump's priorities being wrong in regards to Puerto Rico the commentator starts ranting about him not making time in his schedule to condemn what some unknown kid wrote on boards outside the rooms of students at a prep school.
I would think a real white nationalist policy would be for Puerto Rico to become an independent country, perhaps with a Compact of Free Association not unlike what Micronesia et al. have today; that would have the "benefit" (from the white nationalist perspective) of Puerto Ricans no longer being Americans (legally speaking anyway). This would then enable the (now whiter) smaller U.S. to draw closer with other white countries.
Since this doesn't even vaguely resemble what Trump's doing, I doubt white nationalism is the issue here. Ideology and political philosophy have never been among his strengths in any case.

Actually independence never gained traction in P.R. It basically was always the third choice with remaining a territory as the first. Lately there has been a desire to become a state but with a GOP congress there is no hope for that.
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.
Are you kidding me. They are desperate..it's a matter of life or death there. The mayor was pleading for help. There is no city left so how did the mayor fail her city. We need a president who is a commander in charge. We don't need a baby in office who calls people out when he feels they are attacking him. Trump needs to realize it's not about him, this is about about our country. Good grief, this is not about hate.
Trump is a snowflake. Anyone can get his dander up. Such a child. Such a snowflake.
