"In Texas and in Florida we get an A+, and I'll tell you what, we've done just as good in P.R."



Before leaving for a tour of the U.S. territory, Trump said Puerto Rico was on its way back after Hurricane Maria cut a path of destruction nearly two weeks ago — but he asked for more help from storm victims.

“In Texas and in Florida we get an A+, and I’ll tell you what, I think we’ve done just as good in Puerto Rico, and it’s actually a much tougher situation,” Trump said. “But now the roads are cleared, communications are starting to come back.”

Trump called out truckers in Puerto Rico as not helpful enough, which may have been based on false reports from right-wing blogs that the island’s Teamsters union had gone on strike.

“We need their truck drivers, their drivers have to start driving trucks,” Trump said. “We have to do that, so at a local level they have to give us more help. I will tell you the first responders, the military, FEMA, they have done an incredible job in Puerto Rico, and whether it’s (the San Juan mayor) or anybody else, they’re all starting to say it. I appreciate very much the governor and his comments. He has said we have done an incredible job and that’s the truth.”

that would require big government responses to save people from dying by the tens and hundreds of thousands, millions in all too many scenarios. That quiet, undiscussed civil defense development in the Obama years, in addition to the development of more shelters and other critical supports following Katrina, is probably a really big reason we've done so well in the face of all these disasters.

the price the other administration was paying when first it's a lie, and second what the hell do the F-35's have to do with the reason his ass is there in the first place. He is so easily distracted and has such a hard time remaining on focus on the original task at hand tha it's ridiculous. He is so hard to watch and listen to since he will just make your blood pressure rise if you listen to him for more than 5 minutes.
