Business interests that were ignored when Hurricanes Harvey and Irma hit mainland U.S. The Norwegian cruiseline Royal Caribbean is providing more aid to U.S. Citizens in Puerto Rico than Donald Trump.

https://www.google.com/amp/www.newsweek.com/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-donald-trump-jones-act-relief-aid-672778%3famp=1

The department did waive the Jones Act to aid Houston and parts of Florida that were ravaged by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Senator John McCain, who has repeatedly fought to repeal the act, slammed the Department of Homeland Security for failing to extend the same relief efforts to Puerto Rico that it provided to parts of the mainland United States.

They won't be your taxes because you sound like a neckbeard who doesn't contribute to society at all. It will be good people's taxes.

Yeah but I don't care about them; they're not really Americans, and they maintain a separate identity on purpose.

IIRC, they voted to become a state, and now it's up to congress, or something like that

Because he is the President of the United States.

He isn't allowed to play petty, childish games. If a state/territory is in need he is supposed to provide a solution. Even countries we are just allied with have been given aid in the past.

Trump is just a fuckhead. I don't know if he really is racist or just crazy.

Remember we had people on CE essentially saying Trump shouldn't help people impacted by the California floods because California didn't vote for him. Never mind the fact that those areas affected most were indeed Trump areas.

Like you really want to politicise this, like its about who voted for who. Really.

The President is supposed to look out for all citizens, regardless of their support.

That this needs to be explained at all is very sad.

There's no reason for Trump to help Puerto Rico because Puerto Rico has no electoral vote.

You mean, this is what one guy said and got immediately fired and turned into a social pariah for saying? It doesn't sound like leftists and democrats embraced this opinion whatsoever.

But by all means, keep going what about what about what about, when the issue here is people need help right now and you guys are actually saying they don't deserve it. For what?
