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

Did you read this outloud before you typed it? Puerto Ricans ARE the victims. There is no question.

No matter how you spin int -- she lost her home. Her constituents have lost everything.

Trump is playing golf with hurt feelings.

She has been fighting for more help. She is doing what any of us would expect from our elected officials.

Trump has to be an adult, and just keep offering empahty, support where he can...not criticize the people. 'They' are doing everything they can to survive while Trump is mad at the NFL, dealing with staff that are unethical (using our tax dollars to maintain a lifestyle that is beyond our budget).......

He's the victim. -- He's the victim of his own stupidity, arrogance and inability to be compassionate.

That's not on her or Puerto Rico - -that's on his shallow being.

if you can't understand the problem-- the military needs to be there with earthmoving equipment to distribute - fuel -manpower- and protection -its a WAR ZONE_
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

Trump should've been the bigger person here. I don't remember Bush whining when he was criticized about Katrina. Not surprised about Trump though.

Things look bad in PR. I think I will attack its leaders that are trying to help its residents. I will then go play golf.

Yes, Puerto Ricans are victims of a terrible natural disaster. Trump isn't the bad guy if he acts like a leader, but here we are. It's not hard to get. There's a template of things to say in a disaster....only this guy is stupid enough to screw that up.

Once again Trump has failed a basic test of his presidency. Trump represents the nation in situations like this and while some of his idiotic supporters may think that putting down desperate people crying for help is behavior to be praised, the vast majority of us want him to tell the people of that ravaged island that we are behind them and will do everything we can as quickly as we can to save their lives.

Doesn't take a whole lot of "twisting", Trump does a great job all on his own. If he could only keep his damn mouth shut for once, or keep his little fingers off the tweeter, this issue would never have been raised. But, NOOOOOOOOOO, Donnie has to strike out at her and create this issue all by himself.

Its the medias fault for making this an issue in the first place! Im sure they follow Trump just so they find something to frequently use against him.

Looks like the mayor has time to book appearances on MSNBC, CNN and make custom t shirts that say 'help us, we are dying'.
