"Justification" as to why they're not getting help.
I mean, he's not wrong. But does he have to sound like such a fucking idiot while saying it?
Never mind, I answered my own question.
If this was a city/state in the mainland US or Hawaii, people would be pissed with his handling of the situation. But since it's Puerto Rico nobody gives a fuck. It's tragic.

For the inevitable time he tries to use that as an excuse not to rebuild their island.
The man grasps for power any way he can and for this situation, he technically does have the power to help or not help them. It's the most heartless shit you can possibly imagine, but this monster is so conniving that he enjoys lording it over them that he can be like a fucking bank telling someone they have shit credit and won't give them a loan.
"Aww jeez, I'd really like to help, but look at all this other debt you got here. Oh well, you shoulda considered this when you got hit by so much hurricane!"
The guy is the poster child for shitty insurance claims adjusters from movies.

Bitches love smiley faces
I just picture him saying it with the same cadence as the reporter in Starship Troopers.
Congrats on setting a low bar. "I mean...he's not wrong". smh

When he's right he's right.
I'm fully expecting a future Civ game to have Trump replace Dan Quayle as the lowest ranked leader. The only real question is which infamous quote they'll leave beside his name.
Came here ready to post that. The president of the US is less eloquent than a video game review.

Im surprised he didn't add "the best waters"
"Veni, vidi, vici." - Julius Caesar
"Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied." - Otto von Bismarck
"If you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
"Grab 'em by the pussy." - Donald Trump
Trump is obviously a big fan of the land before time.

He see his own failure in PR impending, so he's making sure people have plausible reasons to blame for his failure, before he has to use those reasons himself.

Every single thing he said today was infinitely worse than anything Bush said during Katrina, but will people care?

As opposed to an island surrounded by pond water.
He is so self-absorbed that he believes he's the first person to experience or learn of anything.

Next week: Trump talks about Peninsulas.
"Last week, I met President Rajoy, great guy, he is -- and we had a great thing going, he's a really smart guy and he -- Mariano is from Spain. Spain. It's a country, I'm told, in the Iberian Peninsula -- love that word, Peninsula, Penins -- it's surrounded by water, ocean water, a lot of water, from every side except one. Can you believe that? It's like an island, well, not an island, but you know, you get what I'm saying, not like the fake news media."

We seem to have a habit of electing Republican presidents who are past their intellectual primes.

also its not. South of Puerto Rico is the Caribbean Sea. Not the ocean.
Can't blame the guy, a globalist like me would know that after all

I love this
It momentarily distracts me from the fact that the US has a president with the IQ of a hastily lobotomized 3rd grader

Honest question..
Is Trump smart??
Or was he a lucky no one that got a kick start in life with his daddy's money?
Seriously? He seems almost retarded when he tweets and am sure I just offended real handicapped people in comparison.

Someone finally showed him a map...
He would literally be sitting in a trailer park complaining about liberals depending on where he was born.
He IS a good campaigner in the manner that a sleazy car salesman can be though.

This is so heartbreaking.
In any other administration before this one, these white house officials would be shamed out of office. This cannot go on.

Why does he keep bringing up the debt thing with PR.
It's not the time to do it.
