In before "what relief efforts"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...atens-to-abandon-puerto-rico-recovery-effort/

President Trump served notice Thursday that he may pull back federal workers from Puerto Rico, effectively threatening to abandon the U.S. territory amid a humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

”Electric and all infrastructure was disaster before hurricanes. Congress to decide how much to spend," the president tweeted, adding: ”We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!"

More than three weeks after Maria, more than 80 percent of the island is still without power. Just 63 percent of the island's residents have access to clean drinking water, and only 60 percent of wastewater treatment plants are operating, according to FEMA.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Just when you think there's no way Trump could be a bigger piece of shit.

Goddamn

 

[Siegcram]

I couldn't believe the WaPo push notification. Unreal.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

He's blaming the people too, he's actively saying they got themselves in this situation. I can't see how he could be more evil.

 

[Volimar]

Get fucked you cheeto faced spitoon of bile.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Because he's a fucking traitor.

 

[snacknuts]

Throw this man into a volcano.

 

[tbm24]

Maybe the governor will stop being scared of Trump and actually say something.

 

[Dreadnought]

Fuck this asshole

 

[RDreamer]

It’s cool that we can keep the military in places like Afghanistan indefinitely but when our own people are suffering here they get a few weeks at best.

Fucking shameful.

 

[Shadybiz]

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. He's doing interviews on Hannity about the NFL while his own citizens are fucking dying. Christ.

 

[Jazzem]

BUT

HER

EMAI-*cough* *wheeze*

 

[HStallion]

If nothing else I hope this reinforces to anyone who isn't a straight white man that Trump not only gives no shits about you but he actively detests you in many cases. It won't of course but it should.

 

[marc^o^]

History will look at this Trump era as the most shameful one of modern civilization. Shame on you republicans who let this happen.

 

[Lev]

He says this after he bragged about the little he has done to help PR. What an ultra scumbag.

 

[FloweryMarston]

I can't believe people can defend his behavior towards puerto rico. He is basically blaming the people there for getting in this situation

 

[Culex]

Throw this man into a volcano.

Never feed the volcano gods.

Bury him under Trump Tower.

 

[WillyFive]

I can't believe people can defend his behavior towards puerto rico. He is basically blaming the people there for getting in this situation

Sunk cost fallacy and/or just living in the bubble where they think Puerto Rico got fixed a week ago.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Impeach him for this, then nail his ass for the russian and election shit

 

[Master Yoshi]

Spend billions in the middle Eastern wars, abandon our citizens at home. And let's not forget Trump is looking to start another war that's going to cost who knows what.

 

[Not]

History will look at this Trump era as the most shameful one of modern civilization. Shame on you republicans who let this happen.

Just so their donors could get even richer. I had no idea it was possible to be so shortsighted and small-minded. What a fucking disgrace.

 

[woolley]

I feel like he still doesn't fully grasp the concept that PR is part of the US.

 

[CecilRousso]

If you're not interested in fixing the problems in Puerto Rico because there were issues before your term, can you also stop trying to fix the North Korea problem and the climate change agreements, and let the people dealing with it before you did, continute to do so?

Kthxbie.

 

[Nepenthe]

But I thought "America First."

Once again, Trump and his supporters can go fuck themselves.

 

[Relix]

Maybe he just realized the governor is a Democrat?

 

[Amory]

I really do think he's losing his mind. There's something wrong with him these days, beyond what we had seen to this point.

For some of this shit even people in his base have to be like, ok dude calm down

 

[fabricated backlash]

But I thought "America First."

Once again, Trump and his supporters can go fuck themselves.

*Restrictions may apply

 

[nocturnalis]

Absolutely atrocious and repugnant. Trump is too.

 

[reKon]

I couldn't believe the WaPo push notification. Unreal.

I know...

I was like just holy shit

 

[Bishop89]

what a disgrace.

I mean just thinking of Obama and how polar opposites they are is just insane.

What a dickhead.

 

[elrechazado]

Good, why are we helping these non US citizen people anyway? They aren't even helping themselves- sad!

"We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!”

No on is asking you to. What they are asking for is continued help in the face of a natural disaster to people who need it. Americans who need it. You don't leave before the job is done or becauase you cannot get brownie points from it. When will this shithead realize he is not running a business he can cut and run from? This is the Presidency.

 

[newtypepilot]

Drumpf throwing the paper towel?

Just saw a report that a good portion of the population still lack access to water. There's huge spike of bacterial infection due to drinking unsanitary water.

Your president is leaving your citizens to die. Sickening...

 

[CHC]

Deserving of only the most humiliating fall from grace followed by the most excruciating death.

 

[VanMardigan]

As a Puerto Rican I just can't believe what I'm seeing and reading from this president. Just heartbreaking knowing how much family I have there and realizing that people are suffering and will continue to suffer because Donald J Trump is president of the united States. This can't be real.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Good for nothing orange rapist

 

[Catdaddy]

I can't believe people can defend his behavior towards puerto rico. He is basically blaming the people there for getting in this situation

Newsflash - most of his supporters are pieces of shit too....

 

[Net_Wrecker]

What a waste of oxygen this creature is.

 

[RobertM]

If this is not impeachable I don't know what is anymore.

 

[Koomaster]

Life should work like that old movie The Super. Trump should be forced to live in a house in PR without electricity/cell service/water/waste services etc. until the whole island has been restored.

 

[Volphied]

I hope Puerto Ricans move en masse to Florida and forever fuck the GOP by turning it into a solid blue state.

 

[Number_6]

I want to say I'm shocked, but...

More shocked that he actually said it publicly. Then again, I shouldn't be.

Get him the fuck out already. Fuck.

 

[LiK]

Impeach this fuck.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

If this is not impeachable I don't know what is anymore.

GOP: now's not the time to discuss this, thoughts and prayers for puerto rico

/s

 

[Ottaro]

“We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!”

This is what we have them for oh my god

 

[bionic77]

What a shitty evil country we have become.

 

[nocturnalis]

He is such a baby! I actually cannot believe that this a man that is 71 years old.

 

[reKon]

I want links to every GOP that try to defend this.

So much for Americans first.

This fucker needs to be moved out of office ASAP.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Just when you think there's no way Trump could be a bigger piece of shit.

Wrong. Fake news. Nobody thinks that anymore.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

I wish that there is a hell just so that this man can rot in there for eternity.
