I hope you guys come out of this ok eventually

We in PR have fought for the freedom and democracy of this nation the same as the american citizens of the 50 states.We morned many of our own and sent national guard and civilian aid to help people in NY on 9/11.So POTUS is not giving anything to PR.We have earned it with BLOOD.

It’s only because deep down inside, he knows how truly inferior he is!

So whatever DJTrump45 is angry about regarding this federal Aid for our recovery,this is not a gift from Potus or Congress or Fema.We have earned it as American Territorry since 1898.We have lost many of our citizens fighting in every war USA has been involve since WWl.

So we continue to move foward in our quest to recover and stand on our feet.Yet we need help and support.Texas recieved 29 billions in federal aid for Storm Harvey and PR has recieved 91 billions with more pending.That s because the devastation here was far greater than Texas.

FEMA resources as well as Federal Money have been properly used for the recovery of this Island.That fatefull day in Sept/2017 we were crush and broken by a level 5 Super Storm Maria.Everything was destroyed down here and over 3,000 lives were lost.

I invite anybody down here on vacation so you can see with your eyes how FEMA resources and Federal money have been spent to restore infracstruture and part of the economy.Millions of tourist have been down to see PR and how were doing.I wish DJTrump could also come down and see

DJTrump45 knows pretty well PR and its people.He owned a Golf Resort in Rio Grande PR over a decade ago and traveled to PR.The resort went bancrupt as many of his bussiness.I live here in PR and we have done a great job getting the Island to its feet again with limited resorces.

The Mayor has given a false image.The governor and other political leaders hv fought for the funding of PR.This mayor hs spent her time debating issues to her interest and hs neglected SJuan.The Governor hs had to uplift the outlook for our capital.She does not represent all PR☝️

Apparently the Dems word of the day is “bully”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

HelloooBetty This should be much bigger news and should be retweeted by everyone!!!

That is true. That's all he knows how to do. It's like his lifes blood.

Tell her government to quit being so corrupt and try helping themselves for a change.

This crook should have been incarcerated a year or so ago.

How much of the fema money actually went to fix Puerto Rico with all the corruption there all the politicians probably got there cut .

Don't Be Bullie!

Guess people have short memories. This woman locked food up away from citizens to hurt Trump. She is a Fraud. MSNBC is lying again.

Trump administration doubles down on opposition to Puerto Rico funding, drawing criticism'President Trump does not value the lives of millions of American citizens who reside there,' said Rep. Nydia Velázquez. PR also lost more lives than FL or TX. The entire island was destroyed.... That's absurd. Trump didn't do anything to help Puerto Rico for a week. His hands are not clean from the nearly 3,000 American citizens who died in Puerto Rico due in part to Trump's lack of leadership and failures with FEMA to to Trump's unqualified nominee.

Trump complains to senators that Puerto Rico gets too much hurricane relief moneyPresident Trump complained in a private lunch about the amount of disaster aid designated for Puerto Rico as lawmakers prepare for a standoff over funds for the island that is still struggling to recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, according to officials familiar with the meeting. ‘Compassionate Republicans’ Maybe he should take a trip to Puerto Rico. Oh I forgot they are not his kind of people. PR is regretting not joining the union and most of the people who voted for PR to remain independent are still alive.

Trump complains to senators that Puerto Rico is getting too much hurricane relief fundingAid for Puerto Rico has long been a fixation for Trump, who has asked advisers how to reduce money for the island and signaled that he won’t support any more assistance beyond food stamp funds. Vengeance is Trumps oxygen. Who threw hurricane supplies in dumpsters? He doesn't give a shit about Puerto Rico because none of them can vote for him and brown people aren't his base anyway.

Puerto Rico Has Just Passed Its Own Green New DealPuerto Rico’s legislature has approved Senate Bill 1121 (SB 1121), the Puerto Rico Energy Public Policy Act, which will set the Island on a path to 100% renewable energy by 2050. SarahRiggsAmico theodore_nadia great fire side chat Thank You That’s great news! AOC can move there! Now all they have to do is find someone with a lot of money to finance this new infrastructure.
