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

Hello Stretch,

LOL :laugh: Puerto Rican power infrastructure??????? That's an oxymoron. It's been in shambles for yearrrrs. Surely you read all those articles about it and why it could take more years to for P.R. to ever have a proper functioning grid again.

They were lucky to have any power at all, it was so bad. But they had the best system possible since there is so little wealth there, and the government is so heavily in debt. Every State has voting representation, and gets government money, but PR has powerless representatives who are not even allowed to vote. No federal money flows into PR. Lots of wealth flows OUT to service the debt. Just the way the big powerful bankers want it.
 

Most likely accomplished without the knowledge of the Liar in Chief- he was clueless

As the devastation from Hurricane Maria became more apparent Sunday, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton implored President Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to help the people of Puerto Rico. Send the Navy, she tweeted, especially the hospital ship USNS Comfort

@HillaryClinton
President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now. These are American citizens.

Oh please. Ever heard of delegation? Like all Presidents do? Gimme a break. He authorizes the disaster declaration and FEMA and other agencies take over along with state and local agencies.

I doubt it since it took almost 6 days for his administration to even meet on the disaster. Then this happened:

Unlike Texas and Florida after their respective hurricanes, the federal government is insisting that Puerto Rico must pay back the aid money it receives. So when the Trump administration finally deigns to fork over money so that American citizens can have power and running water again, they'll only do so as a loan, forcing the already debt-saddled Puerto Rican government to pay reimbursements that aren't being demanded of any other American territories.
This is the same approach that conservatives have taken for years with welfare and social programs: make it as punishing as possible to participate in them and try to drown applicants in arbitrary and draconian red tape. Now they've take the same logic and applied it to disaster relief. And with no senators or representatives in Congress, Puerto Ricans have no one at the federal level invested in advocating for them.
And of course, Puerto Rico has no friends in this White House. It's reported that Trump meant for his "shithole" comments to play well for his base, and if the president thinks that way behind closed doors, it's always possible that he believes that actually helping Puerto Rico would undercut his credibility with white nationalists. It's also just possible he still doesn't know that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. Regardless, it seems clear that the U.S. government has no intention of giving Puerto Rico aid if they can't get it all back or make a quick buck.
 
Only trump had the money and power to fix it. Instead, he dropped in and threw paper towels. then ignored the island til it got too ugly to keep ignoring. Daffy had no interest in Puerto Ricans. they are an island surrounded by water. Water is wet. Daffy did learn things, and so did we. He does not care about people who are not making money for him.

Privatization is the plan for our colony there.

Be very fitting for him to do the same with this one.
