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.

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.

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.
