Trump pledges help to Puerto Rico, but notes 'you've thrown our budget a little out of whack'

President Donald Trump is pledging to help Puerto Rico continue to recover from Hurricane Maria's devastation. He is defending his administration's handling of the disaster that knocked out power to the U.S. island's 3.4 million people.

In an airport hangar in Puerto Rico, Trump also sought praise from local officials. He repeated that they have to help with the recovery and scolded them for a longstanding budget crisis. Trump said, "I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack because we've spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico."

He was referring to Puerto $74 billion public debt load and a decade-old economic recession.

Trump's visit comes after what critics have said was a slow response.

1. Again, what a miserable being!!

2. WE also were informed,,,,

that we have fighter jets that can not be seen,,,,,, nice place to talk abt that,,,,,

[George II]

4. Like I said, what a dotard. He just realized that? The first US Air Force stealth fighter....

....went into service in 1981, 36 years ago. Back then he was still grabbing pussies and getting pissed on.

5. From the way he talked

he really believes that it can not be seen by the human eye......... maybe Kelly fucking with him

[logosoco]

3. What a f**king ass!

Basically we can't help out anyone who works at the bottom because then those at the top will have to pay more taxes. And they can't do THAT!

6. Sounds like something a domestic abuser would say

11. Yes! How dare you talk about needing groceries for the kids....

while I'm smacking and kicking the shit out you!!

[Scalded Nun]

7. As out of whack as your tax plan?

You steamy pile of shit.

[ck4829]

8. 74 billion dollar public debt, total public debt is 14.3 trillion, so not even 1%

[Nitram]

9. "...thrown our budget a little out of whack" Yeah? Like the guy in your cabinet

who spent $400,000 of taxpayer money on chartered flights instead of flying coach? Or taking a train from DC to Philly? Or the cost of SS protection at Mar a Lago or your NY home?

10. Multi-million dollar travel junkets

by Drumpf for his weekly golf trips to 3 different resorts, by his jet-setting family around the world, and by his appointees to dozens and dozens of parts unknown, is what has thrown the budget "a little out of whack".

12. I got the blame for a

winter storm in the Atlantic Ocean once.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. What a scum bag.

Trying to put horribly desperate people on a guilt trip. Typical scrooge-like elitist Republican attitude.

It's important we let our members of Congress know what we think of this man's immorality, lack of decorum and hubris.

14. I bet the vote for independence goes up the next time they vote

Hell, I'm in New Mexico and I don't want to be part of Trumps America.
