President Trump's racist neglect of Puerto Rico is threatening lives

[basquebromance]

"Yesterday Obama campaigned with JayZ & Springsteen while Hurricane Sandy victims across NY & NJ are still decimated by Sandy. Wrong!" - Trump

A tweet for every occasion as Trump spends the weekend at a luxury golf course while Puerto Rico remains w/o power or enough water and food.

Trump works 14-20 hours per day every day of his life. Never have we had a GOVT official who works like him. Non-stop. He is working no matter where he is. The mind-phones-text-directions to employees, always working. We are Lucky he was willing to try to save us from 30 years of total incompetence, fraud, laziness and waste. And more.

"Puerto Rico is constant multi-billion-dollar drain on the US economy and should be cut off from America. They r a corrupt 3rd work hell hole" - inside Trump's brain

General who oversaw Katrina response slams Trump on Puerto Rico

The Army general credited with fixing the response to Hurricane Katrina is bashing President Trump’s response to the devastation in Puerto Rico.

“It’s kind of like Katrina: We got it. We got it. Oh, s--t, send in the cavalry,” retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore told Bloomberg of the response to Hurricane Maria. “This is a hit on White House decision making.”

The Louisiana native said if given the command, he’d move 50,000 troops to Puerto Rico, where he said the devastation was worse than what New Orleans dealt with after Katrina.

“They need to scale up,” Honore said. “(In) Katrina, I had 20,000 federal troops. Not federal workers, federal troops.”

“I had 20 ships and over 240 helicopters,” he continued about Katrina. “And Puerto Rico is bigger than Katrina.”

Only the military has the ability to move supplies quickly onto the island as many ports remain closed, he said -- what he called "expeditionary logistics," a mix of specialized ships, aircraft and other equipment that the National Guard can’t match. Before the storm hit, the federal government should have positioned more personnel in Puerto Rico, he said.

"Perhaps if the Nazi who murdered a woman had been a Puerto Rican fighting 2 survive or a protesting NFL player, Trump wouldve criticized him" - Crazy Kurt Eichenwald

San Juan mayor was full time Trump hater and terrorist supporter, shameful she allowed power grid to rot. She belongs in prison. LOCK HER UP!

If liberals really cared about Puerto Rico they would actually take the time to donate, perhaps travel there, & help out. But, no...they'd rather make a witty tweet hoping to get 100k RTs and then go out partying later that night & spend $100 that could've gone to Puerto Rico.

Trump has made every hurricane about him.

10000 boots on the ground right after it hit. Keep slamming FEMA and other agencies. Hey call the efforts deplorable. Worked for you insulting the American voter in 2016 eh?

The definition of racist is sitting at your golf club while millions of Hispanic US citizens beg for your help

 

[basquebromance]

by the way, it's not just Trump's fault, union workers at port are on STRIKE & demanding money first before distributing supplies off boat?

 

[basquebromance]

none of Puerto Rico's truck drivers have reported to work. Puerto Rico doesn't have enough TRUCKS or TRUCK DRIVERS, and the roads are impassable.

 

[my2¢]

Electric utilities from around America came to the aid of Houston and Florida. I don't believe it is a matter of racism that these trucks didn't head down to Puerto Rico also.

I heard the national guard has the men and materials to solve that problem. Too bad they're still on the mainland.
