Trump Attacks Puerto Rico, Claims Island Is Ungrateful For His Support
[ The son of a KKK member, Trump the Vile, hates Mexicans and thinks all hispanics are really Mexicans. Many more Puerto Ricans are moving to the mainland since the Trump admin sees them as second class citizens (especially Florida) and will be voting against the GOP for at least a generation. That's what you chose when you chose Trump, you fools. Everything Trump Touches Dies.. ]

Around 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria and Trump’s neglect in its aftermath.
In a pair of tweets on Monday, Trump attacked Puerto Rico. He claimed that they were ungrateful for his support following Hurricane Maria in 2017, which was a deadly category 5 storm that left the U.S. territory in chaos.
He tweeted: “Puerto Rico has been given more money by Congress for Hurricane Disaster Relief, 91 Billion Dollars, than any State in the history of the U.S. As an example, Florida got $12 Billion & Texas $39 Billion for their monster hurricanes. Now the Democrats are saying NO Relief to......”
In his next tweet, he continued: “....Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and others unless much more money is given to Puerto Rico. The Dems don’t want farmers to get any help. Puerto Rico should be very happy and the Dems should stop blocking much needed Disaster Relief!”
Trump has often been irritable and testy about Puerto Rico. Following the hurricane, Trump began to point fingers at politicians who he felt had betrayed him. On September 30, 2017, soon after the hurricane, he denounced the “poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan” after the mayor criticized the administration’s response to Hurricane Maria. Trump then claimed that leaders of Puerto Rico “want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”
Nearly 3,000 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria and the island continues to struggle in rebuilding.
