and all others are ready, and will do a great job. When they do, let them know it, and give them a big Thank You - Not like last time. That includes from the incompetent Mayor of San Juan!" Trump tweeted from the White House Wednesday morning. Later Wednesday, he continued to slam the territory's government and praise himself."Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt.

Your not of his race. Trump is trying to bleach America by fear monger.

She should put on one of her T-shirt’s

You were born, Carmen.

Karma is a Bith!

Nothing except criticize. That's all it takes.

donlemon is a sexual predator. DonLemonIsASexualPredator

You guys gave them enough to build a canoe entire wall around Puerto Rico so big it would withstand all hurricanes combined and they squander the money and they did not get the food to the people and you guys CNN are Part of that criminality and coverup of crimes against humanity

trumptweetincontinence

You haven't done anything to him. You just happen to have brown skin. trump, and the current administration don't like people of color. It's that simple.

Im_X1 Nothing. He delights in being the worst person and treating all of those who are not like him with utter hate and disdain.

I'm pretty sure it's just not Trump it's all true Americans Don Lemonhead pedophile whatever they're calling you these days we watched her interview why are you trying to back this brown person oh that's right because you like playing with men's ding-a-lings

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in Puerto Rico. Just hold on, a hurricane tsunami will be coming to Dumb Donald in November 2020!!!!

Check your political history, what you did with previous funding.. and who benefited from the programs, and the local road blocks caused by greed

A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Wednesday alleges freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) illegally used campaign money to help carry on an extramarital affair with a Democrat consultant whose firm she paid tens of thousands of dollar

Right, thanks CNN for propping this pied piper up during the election. 🖕🏻

donlemon respect.

Being corrupt ?

sherylkahn Like leftists all over the world, Puerto Rican politicians steal from their constituents and blame someone else for their constituents' misery.

Puerto Rico must be an independent nation now!

They do nothing to prepare for the storms .. typical thinking the government will continue to bail them out.. let me remind you they chose to not become a state in the union... Handle most of it yourself

Lemon is a pervert, sexually assaulted a man in a bar? What did that man do to you mr Lemon to deserve such gross, nasty, treatment?

The question I ask is: What did Donald Trump do to deserve the treatment he gets?

Well, you called him every disrespectful name in the book that might be a start

Trump should hunker down in Palm Beach, just as the hurricane hits.. THEN at that exact moment, test his Hurricane Nuke theory.

Should have named it hurricane tariff.

He's mad it did not hit you full on this time and he was so prepared. Also, it would shield his resorts.

You are corrupt! That’s why!

kashmirbleed

Obama’s legacy, a corrupt government in PR waiting for handouts. What about a simple thank you.

Opps realDonaldTrump hope Doral MiamiGolf Resort has little Insurance. Because getting help and a paperfk-ing towel may be difficult.

And you know Mr. Trump will be falling all over himself if it hits Florida and they need $ to rebuild. Now there's a Red State in the making.

It’s probably because corrupt Puerto Rican officials have, and continue to, line their pockets while the people they represent suffer.

Your island is in the path of Atlantic hurricanes ... duh ! Big Fat Duh !!! We already know this charlatan's from Hurricane Maria $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Batters Puerto Rico 😂 it barely scraped it as a cat 1

The truth hurts, not that FakeNewsCNN would know what the truth is if it slapped them in the face.

They withheld aid from America, after the last hurricane. Food and water sat on the tarmac. Trump bang on again.

For once I agree with Trump because a corrupt person knows exactly what another corrupt person does.

I came to a CNN tweet to find out there are a heck of a lot of misinformed and ill-informed people in the US. The news is right in front of them but their racism blocked out their eyes and ears! I’m disgusted!!

A parade of failed leaders screams ‘not corrupt!’ Doesn’t it?

Time to cut PR loose and let them fail on their own, without blaming the US. Why are we even supporting and granting citizenship to those people, anyway? Americans face adversity head-on, and work to overcome it. All Borrequeños do is whine about not getting more from the US.

Puerto Rico's government is corrupt. Everyone knows this.

Trump gave PR more money than any state in US history after the last hurricane. Maybe they can take care of themselves this time...

Does anyone think it’s not corrupt?

CNNLeastTrustedNetwork will Not Criticize the Corrupt Democrat Puerto Rico Government!

So

I guess Eduardo missed these stories.

Love him or hate him the President is spot on regarding the corruption in PR. The poor people suffer on the stealing of funds.

Perhaps a dude who hates brown people should not be in charge of protecting an entire island of brown people?🤔

He’s wrong. Someone did say that. Trump.

It is corrupt. Did people forget already how the aid was misappropriated?

Con un poco de suerte hace volar a Kristina que está en Cuba

President Trump will do an excellent job of assisting the people of Puerto Rico! If only the officials weren't so corrupt!

Thank you for sparing Puerto Rico President Trump! 🎉🎉🎉

No aid to Puerto Rico!!!

He just hates sending money to brown people!
