Analysis: Trump’s latest response to Hurricane Maria victims provides insight into his views of Latinos

By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 26 at 2:45 PM President Trump has long been viewed by some of his critics as seeing Latinos as lesser than white Americans. During his campaign launch, he villainized immigrants crossing the U.S.- Mexican border. That worldview along with other comments are part of why the majority of Latinos voted against Trump in 2016.

While the White House has consistently pushed back on the idea that the president has treated Puerto Rico insufficiently, the most recent decisions coming from the Trump administration have furthered criticism about his response to the natural disaster. The federal government provided additional food-stamp aid to Puerto Rico after the hurricane, but Congress missed the deadline for reauthorization in March as it focused on other issues before leaving for a week-long recess.

“As far as I can tell, Trump is punishing the island of Puerto Rico because he's mad at them for dying in such large numbers during Maria that it made him look bad?” “Again and again, we have seen Trump treat Puerto Ricans like second-class citizens. Hmmmm . . . I wonder why?”

This shows how very little Trump cares about American citizens.

he would rather not view them at all plain & simple

Emm. You won't say it - but you want whites to take care & fix all this, while calling whites racist & demanding they not notice we are expected to care for poc & fix their shit.

Every time he says 'Make America Great Again' he's simply referring to White Americans

Quick fakenews !! get back to your divisive “Trumps a racist” programming so all the sheep forget about the two years of lies you told about Russian collusion.

DemFromCT Will the next president please cut off all subsidies of Dump's properties. We've his way long enough.

Pushing more bullshit propaganda

Another article by a 12 year old intern! Woohoo!

No it doesn't

Tremendous!!!!!

Because we didn't know before? Who didn't know?

When Trump was a young man, the people of Puerto Rico were held with disdain, as so many others had been before them. Did he and his father rent to people of Puerto Rican descent? I bet not.

For this alone he deserves to be thrown out of office the next election . . . or before. He is anti-too-many-to-list. Pro? He is pro-porno actresses, pro-money for himself, pro-white nationalist, & pro-ass lazy.

Emm. You won't say it - but you want whites to take care & fix all this, while calling whites & demanding they not notice we are expected to care for poc & fix their shit.

As if we didn’t know. Jesus. How do we get rid of this plague

It's actually far deeper than his views of Latinos. He's VERY retaliatory which can make him dangerous! Puerto Rico's Mayor/others critized his response & in his mind made in look bad. He gets very fierce with people who go against him. This should be STRONG warning to supporters

Racist, Bigot, Elitist Pig aka POTUS

after black & white, now it's about brown ? This writer is lunatic. 🤪🤪🤪

Maybe he will throw them more paper towels. What a horrible person!

He doesn’t give a shit. Saved you a click.

It's all a part of Putin's plan, right? Why not blame Putin?

analysis: pushing fake narratives just like the russian hoax.

Analysis | The Conways are merely the latest episode of Trump-inspired — and -directed — family dramaFrom the Conways to the Bushes to the Romneys to the McCabes, Trump has been willing to go where most politicians wouldn't. At this point I think it's all theater. Someone is a phoney. ETTD Perhaps a little less news coverage about gossip and more on important world and national events would be a vast improvement. More often than not the same trivial items run every hour of every day just to get ratings. Look within.

Trump set to meet Netanyahu, providing boost ahead of Israeli electionsPresident Donald Trump will provide Benjamin Netanyahu both temporary refuge from ongoing scandal and a de facto campaign venue at the White House when he hosts the embattled Israeli prime minister for talks Monday. The Prime Minister just gave him the biggest praise and thank u it was awesome to hear! I've have never heard or seen so much a** kissing in my lifetime 😜😜 I am no Conspiracy Theoriest, but I may have to ask: Is it coincidental that an attack on Tel Aviv which Hamas denies any involvement has happened on the eve of PM visit to AIPAC where Trump offered to enhance Israel's defens. Something is fishy!!
