Neither Texas or Florida experienced even a fraction of the devastation from Irma that Puerto Rico did with Maria. Nowhere except Puerto Rico were all the phone poles and wires pulled down. If their infrastructure was so bad, why is that? Is it that the US hasn't been making the needed investments for decades?

He dislikes Puerto Rico and US VI because they are brown and black people for the most part and racist fatty whitey doesn't like them. Both groups are also substantially more poor than those of us on the mainland, another reason he disdains them. This is all about his like and dislikes, the help would already be there if they had voted for him in the election.
