Not at all. "They want everything done for them" means what it says. The President is directly accusing every PR citizen of being helpless and lazy.
There's your problem. You're incorrectly interpreting "they" as "every PR citizen" when he was quite clearly talking about the mayor and others in a leadership position.
“Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help,” Trump said in a series of tweets. "They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job.”
Trump once again disgraces himself, the Country and Office of the Presidency. He is our American Nero. He fiddles, (or more fittingly chases golf balls,) while our nation burns, our citizens suffer, and our country falls into one crisis after another.
This is pure B. S. and you know it.
"One crisis after another?" Three hurricanes in the space of a month are not Trump's fault, and he has handled all three very well.
Why don't you go down there and help?
How often did Obama play golf? Were you tracking his golfing like you seem to be tracking Trumps? Did you criticize him?
I don't care what Trump THINKS the mayor is or isn't doing, he should have kept his mouth shut! She's been living that disaster for ten days, she can say any damn thing she wants. Where is his empathy for human suffering?
Inept? Florida and Texas are in more debt than PR. a "collaborative" effort? PR is almost destroyed how do you expect them to collaborate? Trump is doing a crap job on this one.
Fake news. Texas has surplus , a giant one. Florida is doing much better than most states.
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.
Because supply's had dwindled down becuase of the previous cat 4/that was in the ocean and had cut off all supply ships
I wish you had made this a public poll. I'd love to see which posters feel that the mayor of San Juan, who is begging her president to help his own citizens who are in dire need and are literally dying from lack of aid, is being whiny. Although I suppose we can all guess who those posters are.
There is no "lack of aid." There is help on the scene. Quit lying.

And Trump helped Puerto Rico get into debt when he filed bankruptcy on a 33 million dollar bond they held for project he had going down there.
The 30% of this board that voted Yes need to just move to Russia. Anyone who says yes that he should attack a Mayor dealing with a humanitarian crisis in an American city is not American and does not share American values. Just get out already.
