Liberals Are Desperate To Blame Trump For Puerto Rico’s High Death Toll

[floridafan]

wow.

this shit stain thinks the powers vested in POTUS have changed.



this is a great example of how fucking stupid liberals are on this site.

Handjob KNOWS she is wrong, and will make any feeble excuse to protect her beloved Trump. You want s to believe that a president can do more and faster for a foreign country than they can for American citizens?

Just how many days did it take after the hurricane before Trump began to send aid to PR?

The deep water port of San Juan was cleared on the 24th. Ships starting unloading that day. 4 days after the Hurricane. Not to mention the resources that were there from IRMA.

Hello Sailor,

How much supplies were prestaged before Irma hit?

his power in this matter is approving spending congress puts on his desk.

No, he has vastly more power than that. He's the head of the Executive Branch and ultimately he controls FEMA. He can't change spending levels, but he has wide latitude in how personnel and existing resources are used. Also, even when it comes to spending levels, he doesn't just have to sit back and passively hope that Congress puts something on his desk. He has a bully pulpit. He can push for legislation. He can charm, threaten, and browbeat members of Congress. And he can exert major influence in getting his followers to do so, as well. When it comes to things Trump cares about, like getting upper-class tax cuts, at a cost of trillions of dollars of debt, he understands that. Puerto Ricans simply are not among the things he cares about.

evidence suggest he is correct

3 days after the 24th, this article talks about all the aid stuck in port as a lack of drivers prevented it from moving any further

for states and territories, his power is tied to it being declared a disaster - which is the power of congress.

The storm made landfall on the 20th. Its now 8 days later and FINALLY help arrives? It took Obama 2 days.

The first public call to mobilize the USNS Comfort, the only U.S. Navy hospital ship on the East Coast, came from Hillary Clinton on Sunday, September 24, four days after landfall.

I have already explained in a wonderful, insightful thread in APP why this "study" is bogus and junk science. It isn't even science. It is math based on massive faulty assumptions

The fact that Haiti is 95% played into Obama's response. Had it been 95% white, they'd still be waiting.

P.R. got FEMA, just like here.
P.R. has a governor and mayors, just like here.
P.R. received help from mainland power companies from N.Y. and many other states, just like here.
P.R. also received help from Samaritan's Purse and the Red Cross, just like here.

Too little, too late. Ended too soon.
Most deaths were avoidable.
People who needed medical help couldn't get to the hospital ship and no attempts were made to help them.
Trump didn't care about them because they were brown.
He even said as much.

Cargo ships carrying supplies from the mainland U.S. began arriving at San Juan’s port on Saturday.

This article is dated Tuesday, September 26th

It mentioned aid reaching that port on Saturday - which is September 23rd.

you are wrong. you lose

the only question is are you too much of a shit stain to admit you are wrong, even when the evidence you asked for was provided.

my proof is right here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/puerto...t-relief-distribution-remains-slow-1506446137

Had trump kept his fucking mouth shut, no one would have said anything. Now he chooses to make another fool of himself with an election upcoming, and many races within margins of error. What a stupid asshole he is.

Sure you would. Your entire miserable existence centers around complaining about what he says and does solely because your bitch lost and you don't have a black ass to kiss in Obama.

 

[Leonthecat]

Time to cut our losses with them. Too much of a drain and nothing in return.

That is Trump's position, isn't it.
