They say all these people died in the storm in Puerto Rico, yet 70% of the power was out before the storm. So when did people start dying? At what point do you recognize that what they are doing is a political agenda couched in the nice language of journalism? @GeraldoRivera

Let's say that is true.

Why did 70% of one of our territories, populated with American citizens, not have power? Are we not responsible for that?

It's certainly debatable:

Did the United States, did our government, when we came in, did we do a great job? Military, first responders, Fema, did we do a great job? Trump asked.

North and South Carolina are experiencing a category 1** hurricane. We had the option to use our freeway system and leave the region. I am on North Carolina highways about 200 times per year. They are easily managed, and despite some traffic, you can leave. Puerto Rico experienced a category 5** hurricane. They are an island with a bad economy. Please do not compare the two because of Cheeto News. // ** https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php

Corrupt and incompetent PR government. Doing a little research will show it's full of nepotism, mismanagement and corruption. PR was never some beautiful island people portray it to be.


Sure but isn't that the case in a not-insignificant part of the rest of the country?

The reason why Trump is doubting the figures for Puerto Rico is because he's only paying attention to deaths that occurred during the storm, like people getting sucked out of their homes. The real kicker is what happens afterwards. The stress, the lack of medicinal supplies and the proper food to maintain your lifestyles, that's the killer. For the VI, there was a large population who have diabetes, but they had things under control, after the hurricanes, between the MREs being horribly salty and the difficulty of getting meds, and the difficulty in getting ice to preserve said meds for diabetes, a lot of people had their health troubles exacerbate.

The news certainly doesn't paint that picture. DemocracyNow (super liberal, I know), at least, isn't blasting the PR government for wasting the massive pile of drink water FEMA delivered them.

The story of Puerto Rico is the rebuilding that has occurred. The President has done an extraordinary job of cleanup, rebuilding electrical stuff and everything else. @EdRollins The people of Puerto Rico have one of the most corrupt governments in our country. @LouDobbs

You can shut the fuck up if you're not from the island. Yes, it's full of corruption, but the main reason there were still power outages was bc we had another cat 5 hurricane pass very near us exactly a week before Maria. I was without electricity for 3 days and general electricity was back a bit more than 90% by the time Maria hit us. Then I spent the next 4-5 months without electricity. Spending a fortune on gas to power electric generators so that my newborn baby (who was born on the day Trump came to the island 2 weeks after the hurricane) could sleep better during the nights.

And Im lucky I live in San Juan and had the means to get through it without much hardships.

Hahaha. A few dozen flights for 3.5 million people. Ticket prices also spiked 10 times their usual price due to demand, leaving only rich people able to leave. But TF am I doing responding to a joke account.

When Trump visited the island territory last October, OFFICIALS told him in a briefing 16 PEOPLE had died from Maria. The Washington Post. This was long AFTER the hurricane took place. Over many months it went to 64 PEOPLE. Then, like magic, 3000 PEOPLE KILLED. They hired GWU Research to tell them how many people had died in Puerto Rico (how would they not know this?). This method was never done with previous hurricanes because other jurisdictions know how many people were killed. FIFTY TIMES LAST ORIGINAL NUMBER - NO WAY!
