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

Are you aware that resources can be people, machines, money, etc.? Someone directed and/or actually spent time and $ having the shirt produced. I did not say she made it.

The good news about this thread is that six months ago there would have been a solid 36% of unwavering support for this disgrace of a president. Today we're down to 27%. Seems there are people waking up, and/or perhaps just too embarrassed to profess support for him any longer. That's progress, I guess.

That 27% should be ashamed, but I suspect they, like their hero, are incapable of such an emotion.

If there is a print shop in San Juan that isn't totaled, someone local did it for her. Good lord you seem desperate to demonize her.

The bias and idiocy is staggering.
You have no idea. There is no magic wand to all of sudden make it better. We Fl. citizens are living through it now. It is not a cake walk. The mayor needs to grow up .

People need to read ALL the tweets not just one. Here ya go!

Puerto Ricans generally have a bad reputation on the East Coast of the US according to friends and relatives who live there. They are used to being taken care of by government, which is probably one reason their country has gone bankrupt, as well as corrupt officials like this mayor. I wonder how much money she is skimming off the top?

It's amazing how we can experience the full, unfiltered Trump through Twitter, without any expert analysis or extrapolation required. Previous Presidents have only really given out personal insight through carefully vetted interviews or press releases, and even Obama's Twitter was clearly overseen by communications experts if not controlled by them outright.

This dude can't disconnect himself from his ego for a second to realize that she's calling him out because she wants to save lives, and not because she's attacking him. He only cares about himself and it's sickening every single day seeing him say garbage like this about good people.

If you still support Trump at this time then the term "deplorable" is far too generously nice. I really hope his supporters have some sort of explanation for this to tell whatever god they pray to so they don't have to join him in the fires of hell when they get there.

Make sure you tell that to your new Puerto Rican neighbors in the next few years.

Let's see if you sing the same tune in person

They could not move in before the storm. They mismanaged the island and ignored the run down neighborhoods and the old electric poles that snapped like a toothpick. 25% of the people were government workers. The infrastructure is mostly not fortified.
