Trump is clearly a failed President. Anybody who says otherwise is a deploreable redneck who doesn't think.

No, I don't think you're a deplorable redneck. Just someone who is so invested that believing in Trump has become a religion. And so you're incapable of actually seeing reality.

Yes because everyone knows 10,000 containers move themselves when 80% of truck drivers don't show up.

Well, Trump obviously didn't know that, or he would have realized that when a cat 4 hurricane devastates an island, roads are impassable and it would be impossible for trucks to go anywhere. And he would have had contingency plans in place.

But, who am I kidding? He had a tee time in Bedminster. No time for contingency plans!

Why can't Trump completely repeal and replace the crumbling infrastructure of a post-Cat 4 Hurricane bankrupt "Commonwealth" overnight?

I'd settle for a President that actually holds a meeting during the 4 days after a cat. 4 hurricane hits a US territory. Rather than make excuses about how it's in the middle of "big water"

Is that too much to ask?

Remember Obama getting blamed for playing golf when bad things happened?
Can we all agree politics and politicians suck big time?

The SJW mayor is just mad because the oversight groups aren't letting the el corruptos sequester the aid to line their own pockets, so they aren't even transporting it.

Why would that be Trump's issue. Doesn't PR have a governor and legislature and know they are in the path of hurricanes and should have disaster plans?

Oh wait, it's a Dem governor, so it's someone else's fault and he needs to be bailed out.

Trump the God should have known that, but not the idiots in Puerto Rico? What good are those dumb Puerto Rican politicians? Why can't they clear up the roads? Oh wait....must be the union rules not to work after a hurricane.

Of course--why would it be the President of the United States issue to help US citizens after a hurricane destroys the island they live on.

If only Trump could wave a magic wand and fix everything in a day right?

You people have some seriously strange expectations. There is plenty of aid, but no truck drivers to deliver it. US navy is there, our aid is there. Any volunteers to truck drive it here? Even Puerto Ricans aren't volunteering, anyone here interested? Job requisitions are open. They haven't even filled relief jobs for Texas yet.

I know, Democratic party underlings will always blame the Republican president regardless of fault.

Stupid sensationalism.

Trump did his job:

Liberal media won't report that though. They'd rather put that pissed off bitch mayor who blames everyone for her own faults. America isn't doing enough for her, Trump isn't doing enough for her, you are not doing enough for her.

me123 says

But, hey, let's blame Trump for not climbing into a 18 wheeler and delivering supplies himself. Is that what Rachel Maddow would tell you?

The PR Truckers Union is actually complaining about Volunteer Truck Drivers arriving from Florida.

I know administrators and executives usually aren't expected to conjure infrastructure out of the Aether, or brush aside a Commonwealth's government.

No--of course FEMA never has to work out infrastructure issues. Usually after a hurricane hits, infrastructure is in pristine condition.

They are NEVER expected to deal with impassable roads or power outages or local citizens who can't get to work. Why would anyone ever think to have plans for such a contingency??

That loud mouse mayor chick... why isn't she organizing trucks to deliver aid that US brought over from mainland? She's a mayor, she's responsible for local stuff, her job isn't to hurl insults at the president. She's incompetent, doesn't even understand her job, qualified for nothing more than being a maid.

TwoScoopsMcGee says

If there are too many Containers to distribute because workers are refusing to work, that's a primarily Commonwealth problem that Commonwealth Officials must solve

wtf is wrong with you. "Refusing" to go to work? A fucking hurricane just devastated the island. Ever think perhaps they CAN'T make it to work??

FEMA doesn't run local government, it is local government that is supposed to know what is where. You would expect your local police captain to police the area and know where issues are, not CIA right?

We should be providing Puerto Rico the same Federal financial support we provide any US state.

I have no reason to believe we are not. I do however believe Democrat politicians are intentionally creating a political shitshow to make it look like President Trump is non responsive.

And that would be par for the course for Democrats.

Because you only believe things that conform to your view. It makes life much easier, huh?

TwoScoopsMcGee says

Again, my apologies for not being skeptical enough of CNN and NPR (and, apparently, CBS).

Come on Thunderlips. You used to have credibility. By blindly defending Trump over everything now, you've lost it, at least for me. Remember that Goldman Sachs wrote the tax plan. Tell me how it's good for the middle class again.

What's funny is that Republicans in Texas & Florida think they will get enough from the Republican Administration & Congress to help them recover.

I wonder how many rounds of gold obama played.... lol

Puerto Rico was a fucking mess.
And then the hurricane hit.
Never trust Leftists.
They don't care about truth, only harming their political opponents.
These people are so sick in the head, they were hoping that PR would be another Katrina. When the administration neglected to conform to that narrative, they found an idiot cunt who would lie and obstruct things to make the situation more Katrina-like.
Sick assholes!

I'm sorry, I believed NPR and CNN and MY credibility is down?

I guess I wasn't sufficiently skeptical, I'm sorry.
