however the governor of Puerto Rico says otherwise......
What average citizens on the ground are saying trumps what any politician is saying.
The Governor of Puerto Rico undoubtedly is aware of Trump volatile, vindictive nature. And if I were him, I would be kissing Trump's fat ass too because that may be the best strategy in the short term to get the federal government to respond better, and get more resources.

San Juan Mayor Slams White House's Feeble Response to Puerto Rico's Plight
"Dammit Trump, people are dying here!"
Appearing on CNN’s New Day Friday morning, a furious and emotional mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, lashed out at the White House for congratulating itself on the job it is doing with the post-hurricane humanitarian crisis, saying people are dying while White House officials are already patting themselves on the back.
Speaking with host Alisyn Camerota, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz blistered the White House over what it called a “good news story.”
After viewing a clip of acting secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke telling reporters this was “a good news story,” Cruz became increasingly furious as she explained the situation on the ground on Puerto Rico.
“Well, maybe from where she’s standing it’s a good news story,” Cruz began. “When you are drinking from a creek, it’s not a good news story. When you don’t have food for a baby, it’s not a good news story. When you have to pull people — I’m sorry, but that really upsets me and frustrates me.”
“I would ask her to come down here and visit the towns, and frankly it’s an irresponsible statement and contrasts with the statements of support that I have been getting since yesterday when I got that call from the White House. This is — dammit, this is not a good news story. This is a people are dying story. This is a life or death story. This is — there’s a truck load of stuff that cannot be taken to people story. This is a story of a devastation that continues to worsen because people are not getting food and water,” she explained.
“If I could scream it a lot more louder,” she continued as she began to tear up. ” It’s not a good news story when people are dying when they don’t have dialysis, and when the generators aren’t working and the oxygen is not providing for them. Where is there good news here?”
“The good news is we are getting heard. The good news is there’s boots on the ground. The good news is people from FEMA have their heart in the right place and the HHS people know what to do,” Cruz conceded. “For Heavens sakes, somebody let them do their job. Let them get the food in hands of the people and then talk about good news. When you have people out there dying literally scraping for food, where is the good news?”

I'm not an emergency management planner, Right. But I know when a President can be doing more & saying more, and I know that when there is a humanitarian crisis, that should be his focus.
Lame point on your part. I'll have to remember that you need to be able to offer a detailed, viable plan anytime you want to offer comment on an issue.

What a shock.
After an characteristic burst of candor by the DEMOCRAT Governor, all the DEMOCRATS are lining up for the cameras and giving interviews to the DEMOCRAT-infested media to denounce Trump.
How surprising.
Start some more "Katrina" threads, Trump-hating crybaby DEMOCRATS. Cover the forum with them.
Kneelergate didn't work, "muh Russia" is stagnant, so maybe the "Trump's Katrina" narrative will finally make Hillary president.

you have to look no further than this forum to find the non-stop grasp at anything narrative of Trump is bad.
In all seriousness if I were a liberal, well that will happen after the sun and moon combine to provide day-night simultaneously, but say I was a liberal for the sake of my point,
I would try and figure out how to turn some of that red meat in the swing states that put trump over the top back to my side. That's the heart of the country too.
and I'm not sure spitting on the flag, or making up Russian stories, or somehow wanting people to believe he Hates Puerto Rico because they aren't Texas or Florida or that he is distracted by kneeling football players is the path I'd be on.

Hey, Tom - why don't you at least try to refute the OP if you have a problem w/ it?
I actually thought this would be a pretty non-controversial thread. It's indisputable that Trump has spent more time on the NFL on than on PR. Absolutely indisputable.
But I forgot how hardcore & stubborn the apologism is on this board. Trump has some hypnotized.

I say plenty, you are totally ill informed and far more concerned with Trump bashing than actually finding out the true story. If you really wanted to know then you could ask Sailor, but of course you won't do that.
