Getting pretty tired of these anti-Trump threads from a group of people whose goal it is to destroy not only Trump, but America.
TRump is doing it all on his own. His tweet blaming democrats for why the mayor of Puerto Rico is blaming him is another new low. He is supposed to be leading the country not dividing it. He does it every chance he gets.
Why is she spending her time on twitter ? She should be spending her time talking to the governor and to her local people trying to get them to show up to work. They are not helping their families by staying home. They are preventing their families from getting the help they need by staying home.
Why is Trump spending time on twitter and attacking the country and the mayor instead of making damn sure they are getting they need.
Why didn't the people themselves have water before the storm? Stock up if a hurricane is coming. Didn't the mayor make sure they had supplies before the storm? People stocked up on propane for cooking on a barbecue and canned goods out of the can before the storm. They should have had a plan before. Had a stock pile of food and water in ALL THE TOWNS and villages. It was a cat 5 for Petes sake.
It took 10 days to get our military down there and U.S. hospital ship isn't due to dock until Sunday. How many days worth of food and water do you think people should have stock piled? 10 days, 20, 30? Hindsight is always 20-20 and there was every reason to believe help from the mainland would have come sooner than than it did!

Exactly.

Drivers without means to get to work, roads impassable, no gas to get to work, families in need of basic necessities, no communications to put out the call for drivers, red tape holding up the distribution of goods. Need I go on? Look at what happened in Texas and Florida with all the citizen help coming in from other states. That couldn't happen on an island and it made a lot of difference in those two states.

He was too preoccupied with the NFL to pay attention to what was going on down there. He got caught with his pants down and is now trying to blame the victims of his ineptness regarding Puerto Rico.
i dont know how to embed tweets but this is what he said:
He's 100% right, and not it's surprising considering the track record of the lazy, unorganized Puerto Rican government.
Thanks.
In this case I am not judging what Trump said. I have never been to Puerto Rico and don't know how their elected leaders do things there. Maybe Trump is just telling it like it is?? Trump did seem supportive in helping get supplies and food to PR.
What's the penalty for being born into a place that continues to elect lazy arsed, corrupt, incompetent people?
Do we let the kids and old people suffer because the mayor is not what we expect a mayor should be?
Do people die because the hospital administrator is an idiot who did not stockpile enough fuel to run for 2 weeks without electricity?
Do we ignore them for not texting us their needs?
Marshall law, send Honore in. He knows how to deal with incompetent corrupt people and get the job done.
