I didn't support Trump. That makes me infinitely smarter than you or anatta.

Infinitely. And thanks once again for your nothing contribution.

These people don't consider any non-white conservative to be real Americans. You're aiming too high for their threshold of what constitutes an American. These people could care less if anyone outside their narrow panoramic view dies a horrible death. What it means to be a modern conservative is, 'I get mine, and fuck the rest of you.'

if you weren't a Canookian we would even consider a dickhead like you to be an American......

It speaks to leadership there being more interested in lining their own pockets than providing for its citizens. Much like Detroit, NOLA etc.

Even if a few in power did somehow unfairly enrich themselves, does that make it right for Trump to abandon the AMERICAN CITIZENS living in Puerto Rico?

There is actually very little question in my mind that Trump doesn't really see PR as part of America. He sees this as another foreign aid thing.

I'm going on the facts. Trump tweeted something he didn't need to tweet - and it's consistent w/ his past-tense remarks from last week which basically said that it was a "job well done" and in the past. He can't be bothered with Puerto Rico. He did his time by throwing out those "beautiful, soft towels" to the crowd.

And just HOW clueless is the GOP?

Rick Perry just called Puerto Rico a 'country'

Former Texas governor and current U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry referred to Puerto Rico as a "country" and was corrected by a Democrat congresswoman during a hearing.

Perry was addressing a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee Thursday when Rep. Kathy Castor of Florida asked him about plans for building a more distributed energy grid.

At a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday, a Democratic congressman asked the Energy Department's watchdog to investigate Energy Secretary Rick Perry's use of chartered aircraft for travel. In light of the “extreme” budget cuts the department faces in a 2018 federal budget proposed by President Donald Trump, U.S. Representative Frank Pallone claimed that Perry’s trips on chartered planes need to be scrutinized.

In response to the question, Perry said, "Congresswoman Castro, you have just pointed out the real challenge this country faces in dealing with the territory and the citizens of Puerto Rico." He went on to say, "That is a country that already had its challenges before --."

Castro cut off Perry to correct him. "Well, it's America. They're American citizens, so it's not a country," she said.

Lets see if Trump has the balls to tweet that he's cutting off aid to a red state when the next hurricane hits. Trump knows where his bread is buttered. He is 100% dedicated to his vile base, and will throw the rest of America in the garbage at a moment's notice. Good thing that even Bannon admits that he has a 30% chance of seeing the end of his first term.

I'm sure there is plenty of criticism to go around for the locals. This is like the criticism of Nagin - I never argued w/ any of that.

It's irrelevant to Trump's woeful leadership on this.
