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

That 27% should be ashamed, but I suspect they, like their hero, are incapable of such an emotion.
Those remaining 27% are what psychologists refer to as "sociopaths". They won't change and they'll never stop supporting Trump or any other narcissistic leader. The funny thing is they are convinced that they are in the majority. I mean, I've never seen anything remotely like it. In a while, after reading this post probably, one will come in here with a link to Breitbart or some other questionable website saying Trump's got something like a 99% approval rating. Just watch. That's what makes this whole thing so ironic.

San Juan Mayor to Liberal Media: We Are Getting No Help From Trump - As She Stands In Front of Pallets of Aid

If Trump had the power he should remove her from office. She's a twitter

Liberalism, the new mental illness for the 21st century.
Ah, the party of small government removing mayors because they hurt Trump's feelings.
What background exactly? Why don't you say what you mean, like you love Trump for doing, rather than beat around the bush?

Is the emergency broadcast system working?? As a Federal employee, I was told to report to the office in case of a disaster ASAP. And I did not have primary disaster responsibilities.

I have worked with several local governments on disasters that were incompetent. It is more than frustrating. I was asked to do things and accept personal liability as a Federal employee, because the local government employees did NOT want to do their jobs!!

Why should I put my family at risk and all my assets to help those that refuse to help themselves?

There are states and localities in this country that are wonderful to work with in a disaster. I will do anything for the residents of Montana.

Other localities where I have worked......I just refuse the assignment. Hey, I will do it once, but after that don't bother calling me if you not willing to work to help yourself.

What the leftists circle jerk has consistently failed to recognize is that Trump winning against a field of seventeen pedigreed Republicans isn't about Trump being an exemplary Republican...he isn't.


What working Americans wanted in 2016 was none of the above, an outsider, and Trump was the perfect candidate to fill the need for an outsider.


Trump is doing what I would do if I were president.


He is exposing the lies of the elite in both parties.


He is marking those that place party loyalty and loyalty to the donor class above the voters.


Right now, all over the country, Republican primary hopefuls have what they need to make the case against the incumbents that oppose Trump's pro-worker, pro-America policies.


Now, when we go back to the polls in 2018, we can continue not voting for Democrats and select new Republicans in primary races to replace the ones who have proven themselves no more worthy of our votes than Democrats.

As has been reported repeatedly, San Juan had a bus system. The busses are no longer functional. Maybe you could go there & find the truck drivers & tell them. They can't be reached by phone & can't take a bus to the port. Apparently they aren't walking distance.

What do you think about the emergency broadcast system working? There's no electricity. With no electricity do you think that they have radio or TV?

Go ahead. Answer your own question. If you understand what the emergency broadcast system is, I have great faith that you can answer that.

What do you think?

I already addressed this in another post where you asked the same question.
