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

Actually you’re wrong. The attacks have been non stop, from having one extra scoop of ice cream to the shoes the First Lady wore in one of the disasters.

I’ll be the first to say Trump has serious issues but when every single thing is attacked, it just makes it apparent that the left just wants to criticize and undermine.

There’s blame on both sides and the mayor calling it genocide is a bit over the top. Some news agencies are reporting that the destroyed infrastructure is making the transportation of relief supplies difficult. How is that Trump’s fault?

The truth is that the San Juan Mayor is the one that attacked Trump first. Trump is responding back at her attacks. Every bit of what Trump said is true. The democrat mayor failed her city and now they try to blame Trump, the easy scapegoat. Trump has every right to point this out.

You haters are such a joke. Everyone that's not a hater can see right through your chicanery.
I am not surprised in the least that the left wing loons are feigning outrage over lies. Using distorted and misleading and downright LIES to promote their hatred. They have been doing it for the last 2 years:

Example 1: Mr Kahn, while speaking at the DNC convention, makes several accusations against Trump. And when Trump responds to the accusation, the dopey media reports "TRUMP ATTACKS GOLD STAR FAMILY!!!!"

Example 2: Trump, while speaking to a group of veterans, answers a question about PTSD, Trump says that many soldiers have seen a lot of terrible things in combat, things that some PEOPLE (not soldiers, PEOPLE) cannot handle. And what does the fake news media report? "TRUMP "APPEARS TO SUGGEST" THAT SOLDIERS ARE WEAK AND CANT HANDLE IT!!!" A total lie. Take a look at this

I said no such thing. Someone suggested that reporters drive the containers to the villages. I was responding to that when you inserted yourself with your accusations. I told you that it is unlikely that a reporter & his or her crew would have a commercial trucking license between them. So, apparently, it seems to me that you just don't have a clue or you're trying to pick a fight.

I wonder how much money she is skimming off the top?
This is just too much.

My husband and I were in Puerto Rico last May. The people are very friendly, more so than any i met on travels throughout Mainland. They didn't know is but we're very accomendating. They are hard workers.

You need to keep quiet about things you know nothing about.

I realize people who are on this thread find it very easy to dehumanize people like your leader does.

What a sad comment. If it weren't for the hurricanes i would have loved to have lived there. Would love them for neighbors.
