What an insecure piece of **** this loser is. Funny thing was the governor didn't say the words. Then he sends out Kelly to vouch for him....I didn't dis another Gold Star family (that would be unlike me) so get out there general and tell them how great I am! (after he started this mess) What a embarrassing excuse for a human being. And he kept referring to Sgt. Johnson as "your guy" multiple times during the call? And continues to refer to his widow as "the wife" or the "woman". When is this douchebag going to quit stepping on his dick (which according to him is nothing to be ashamed of) and start acting like an adult?
We did a great job in Puerto Rico didn't we governor?

Because people need water and food in order to survive? If they go too long without those, they die?
The mayor is probably overstating things to a degree, but so is Trump.
The people in Puerto Rico are probably some of those spoiled hurricane victims that want food and water and electricity. (That's a play on George Costanza when a woman in a wheelchair did something he didn't like and he said "She's probably one of those spoiled handicapped people that just wants to sit in her chair and have people push her around.")
Let’s not pretend PR was different than any of the other island nations in terms of infrastructure.
Ceiba, Puerto Rico (CNN)The stockpile of bottled water stretches down an unused runway in Ceiba. Case after case, pallet piled upon pallet, blue tarps and plastic glinting in the sun.
The emergency supplies were brought in by FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, which smashed the island and left its residents without power, without roofs and without running water.
Federal officials commandeered the area in the far east of the island last fall as a staging ground, collecting the water and containers full of tarps to patch damaged and destroyed roofs in surrounding neighborhoods.
And there the supplies sat. And sat. Storm survivors were collecting spring water from the mountains for cooking and bathing, even with the threat of disease that brought.

In all fairness, Trump has been as successful in PR as he has been in his 3 marriages.
Trump - “only 16 deaths” oops! Make that 2,975 deaths.
Trump - “very successful”
And the rubes eat this **** up.

It's like trying to polish a turd after you have already flushed it.
The GOP needs to get ahead of the curve and push for PR statehood...build up the infrastructure and give me a nice place to vacation.
Unless the feds invade and conquer PR, it will never have a successful hurricane relief effort.
Good times when someone has the audicity to call out rubes while at the same time thinking politicians can control weather catastrophes. Thanks for that special kkk.
I bet they knew, they just couldn’t figure out a way to monetize the graft game in time before her corrupt *** was snatched up. And so it has sat because the new guy didn’t know it was there.Here is/was the real problem in San Juan. BTW.....they JUST found 20,000 pallets of water that President Trump shipped in to Porto Rico.....the dumb ***'s had NO clue they had it.
Maybe so. I have no idea, just read the hyperlinks, never actually clicked on the story.
lmao. Classic Trumper. Next you will be reading the chain emails and posting the memes.
The U.S. government plays no role in the distribution of relief supplies during disaster relief efforts? lol got it.
It's incomprehensible how you all defend Trump no matter what on every issue. If it took nearly a year to get electric back to everyone in any U.S. state then there would be hell to pay and the people of that particular state would not get blamed, it would be the Fed but for some reason (brown people?) because it's PR, they're on their own. People who haven't been hypnotized by Trump recognize it for what it was, a terrible Fed response in PR were thousands died and Trump thinks it was an "unsung" success? smh
Not defending Trump....just pointing out the facts. Trump and Fema did what they were obligated to do. Why do you always try to blame Trump for everything instead of looking at the real reasons.......plus Puerto Rico is a real "********" governed by corrupt ********. I guess you never learned from the Ray Nagin/Katrina stupidity.
I read your version of the "facts". So you think the Federal response to the disaster in PR was a success? If you ever lose power at your home and it takes nearly a year to get it back on, I hope you view that as a success.
