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

The press is in San Juan. She is in San Juan. Further questions?

Well, this mayor disagrees with you....

I guess this guy did his job, as a mayor, went to FEMA meetings.....and he IS receiving assistance.....

Uh no, that would be following. They're getting everything when it arrives from San Juan and no sooner. You know; that city with the mayor that's currently holding Trumps feet to the fire and making him jerk like the dummie on strings he is.

All of this will be post mortemed to death in the weeks to come and your pet cheeto is going to look even worse after experts get to have their say about his failure for days to even call a meeting about the disaster while he golfed.

It will come out later that the military and others were champing at the bit locked and loaded ready to lift off but got no direction to do so.

It will come out later the U.S. response to other Caribbean disasters, to other islands "surrounded by water, big water, ocean water", were light years faster by comparison and one with any conscience at all will naturally wonder why.

So the mayor is on TV asking for help. I guess we have never ever seen mayors on TV asking help when disasters have hit the mainland! You people are really sick in trying to make this all about her. She is doing what she is supposed to do. GET HELP FOT HER PEOPLE. And how do you do that? Go on TV you imbeciles.

When the S hits the fan, it is going to take a long time and much effort to right the trolley, no matter who is POTUS.
