Trump Claims He Gave Puerto Rico 91 Billion.. This A.M.

And that they should be grateful to to him....

The true number is 11 Billion.. the amount allocated for the relief..

The actual amount which actually made it to the Island is 4 Billion..

The 91 Billion was an estimate of the total amount which would be sent after 10 yes

Just can't get over Trump stating this a.m. " the People of Puerto Rico should be grateful"..

And finally, Dana Milbank lost his press card this a.m.

It just gets worse every single fucking day!

With very little Sun...

corrected that amount, well actually said they couldn't let that stand, and said it was 11b... that also said they couldn't let Mulbaney's statement go unchecked, and called him out also... sorry can't remember what he said, but the stories were back to back, and Nora O'D corrected them both...
hope we see more of this

I hope the FL Democratic Party can figure out how to use this against Trump in 2020.

That’s a reason he won. He cultivated a relationship with them and the FL Democrats did not do as well as they should’ve. They’re not nearly as far right as the Cubans.
