Why not? We've kept the military in Afghanistan for 16 years. Trump said he'd stay with Texas and Florida as long as it took for them to rebuild. Why treat PR differently? It's only been 3 weeks.
He would NEVER make such a comment about Florida or Texas.
After Sandy we were without power for eight days. Crews from many other states came in to help repair our power lines. The comments we heard were that it was a mess - basically held together with chewing gum and duct tape. Was that our fault? Should we abandon American citizens because they haven't been able to afford to update their power grid?

In fact, his tweets about Florida and Texas specifically said he's with them forever, and will stay as long as they need to completely rebuild.
He didn't say he would stay in Florida and Texas forever; He said he would stay as long as it took to rebuild.
The problem with Puerto Rico is that they had major problems with their infrastructure before the storm. It is not FEMA's job to fix problems that were not caused by the storm. FEMA needs to stay as long as is necessary to get Puerto Rico back on their feet, and then it is the people and government of Puerto Rico's job to take it from there.
I swear you people would find a problem with anything. Saying they will not stay forever is completely benign and reasonable.
