    Whereas when Florida was damaged his attitude was:
    “We love the people of Florida,” he said, pledging that he would be back to monitor recovery progress. “We are there for you 100% … These are special, special people.”

    I guess the people on PR are not "special, special people" in the mind of loser scum Trump.
    Right, I'm actually of the opinion that Trump's treatment of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands alone is an impeachable offrense. To protect and serve is his job, and on that front he is certainly, and seemingly purposefully, failing the people of those territories.

      Well of course, so long as its not Obama anything goes with you hypocrites. After criticizing Obama for using his power of executive order, we don't hear a peep from you when it comes to Trump doing the same and he is using it at a pace that will double that of Obama. After criticizing Obama for playing golf on occassion, Trump plays just about every weekend and not a peep from you. You Trump supporters are a joke.

        Obama used executive orders to legislate from the white house. Trump is using it to undo obama's unconstitutional orders (like paying money to insurance companies). I don't see how it's even remotely comparable.

          pretty much all of this is BS.

              Think[1] of it this way. Right after the hurricane the media started blasting Trump about his supposed inaction in PR, but as the facts emerged most of them have all but dropped it. The same media that went on for nearly a year about the supposed collusion between Trump and Putin in spite of there not being a shred of corroborating evidence. If it was anything like how Starlight describes it they would be relentlessly pounding on him about it 24/7. So unless you think the MSM is now trying to cover up for Trump like they were covering up for Harvey Weinstein for years even you should be just a bit suspicious about Starlight's depiction not being accurate.

                I realize that you don't see, but do the math? If Obama used his executive powers 5 times, Trump, the hypocrite, wouldn't need to use that power 10 times to undo them. Actually Obama only used that power 35 times a year on average. Thats the fewest in 120 years, 30 four year tearms. He totaled 277 executive orders in his 8 years in office, Trump the wannabe dictator is on a pace to double that in one 4 year term.

                    I was right. I expected far too much from you.

                    My point was that the MSM has pretty much dropped the whole Trump-is-ignoring-Puerto-Rico shtick that Starlight is trying to push. Considering that their severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome extremus there really must be nothing there for them to have done so.

                      It was never how about how often he used it but rather how he used it.

                        Nothing like a morning covfefe, I say.

                        Trump has obviously been talking to himself, something that has been described as the first sign of madness. The invocation of the 25th Amendment draws ever nearer.

                          "More than six in 10 Americans say that Puerto Rico isn't getting the help they need and a majority says the federal government hasn't been doing enough and the response is too slow, according to a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation".

                          But they are poor "losers" not rich "winners" like Trump and his friends in Florida. That's the difference.

                            Yeah, but you think Trump should be impeached if he looks at someone funny.

                              Can you please link to the thread you started about Obama claiming he visited all 57 states, with 1 left to go, because he wasn't allowed to visit Alaska and Hawaii?

                              Thanks
