Trump to Puerto Rico....I gave you paper towels, why arent you better already?

You might want to inform the OP, your comrade seems to be under the impression that a 3,500 square mile power grid can be reconstructed in a few weeks.


.

If it can't be reconstructed in a few weeks....why is Comrade Trump threatening to pull FEMA

He didn't, he just said the islanders need to step up and do more for themselves. They've cleared less than 10% of the roads at this point, electrical crews and aid can't make it down blocked roads. Trump is just trying to motivate them to step up and take more responsibility.


.

"Trump is just trying to motivate them to step up and take more responsibility."

Ugh, it is so nauseating to see people try to polish up turds like this to provide cover for the moron. No, Trump was only trying to deflect any perception of his own failure by turning it onto the people of Puerto Rico (a classless, infantile move), while simultaneously and shamelessly pursuing his little vendetta against the mayor. This is juvenile, classless, cruel behavior unbecoming of his office.

Only problem is there is no failure, it nothing but a fabrication of the left. The San Juan mayor and her puppeteer Louis Gutierrez are trying to score cheap political points. What does the governor have to say?


.

That's some cynical shit. Are you honestly that blinded by politics?

Why are you deflecting, answer the question.

Why doesn't Texas, Florida and California take more responsibility? They are better situated economically than Puerto Rico

The San Juan mayor and her puppeteer, chicago gutter trash Louis Gutierrez are orchestrating all the bitching because she wants to run for PR governor.

80% of Puerto Rico without power is just made up?

The lack of power was expected and 70% of the water systems have been restored, not a small thing when there is no power.

How do people work when their time is spent just trying to survive? It requires a lot of time daily to gather the necessary resources.
This is literally a post-apocalyptic world they are living in.

So why haven't they moved into shelters where resources can be easily provided? Also why is only one hyper partisan politician doing all the bitching?

Are you really this dense? What shelter?
How does a shelter get supplied when only minimal aid is reaching the outlying areas?

Have you ever been to PR?

Nope. Of course that has not a damn thing to do with any of this. You know full well how remote some of these areas are especially given the infrastructure damage.

Donald Trump: We cannot aid Puerto Rico 'forever' - CNNPolitics

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Puerto Rico is going to have to shoulder more responsibility for recovery efforts from Hurricane Maria, saying the federal government's emergency responders can't stay there "forever."
His comments -- in which he also blamed the beleaguered island for a financial crisis "largely of their own making" and infrastructure that was a "disaster" before the hurricane -- come as Puerto Rico still reels from a lack of electricity, public health access and a rising death toll. Texas and Florida -- two states Trump won during last year's presidential election -- also were struck by severe hurricanes recently, but the President has made no public indication that the federal government is pulling back on its response there.
He wrote in two separate tweets, "'Puerto Rico survived the Hurricanes, now a financial crisis looms largely of their own making.' says Sharyl Attkisson. A total lack of........accountability say the Governor. Electric and all infrastructure was disaster before hurricanes. Congress to decide how much to spend..."


He continued in a third tweet: "We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!"


Seems our president is annoyed that he has not gotten as much credit as he thinks he deserves

Yo ahole...what was easier to prevent...the hurricane that blasted PR...or the fires that burned Napa valley?

Well child, I lived there for 6.5 years. It's smaller than many western State counties and I've been all over that island and most of the adjacent islands. There are convention facilities that could be easily used as shelters where people and resources can be consolidated until things start getting better. The question is why aren't they doing that?

If you weren't so rabid and read a bit more slowly, you'll notice i didn't say there was. See, it doesn't matter at all to Trump if there actually IS a failure or not, he only cares about the possible perception of his own failure.

I knew you would say that.
No, those only impede progress. The real problem is we're rolling up on a month and there are hundreds of thousands of people who have not seen a single hint of aid. If there is no aid reaching their communities, WTF is a shelter?

Trump needs to put thirty thousand troops on the ground to provide security and ensure the aid gets where it's needed. Maybe another ten in air operations and specialized support of all kinds.
