more anti-Trump bullshit

He lives rent-free in their heads 24/7/365.

From the OP's link....
"according to five people with direct knowledge of the situation."
Right at the beginning of the article. The rest of the article is based on hearsay as WaPo fleshes out their own little fairy tale story. BTW this article is 3 years old. Somebody has a raging case of TDS.....

Trump hates brown people. You’re preaching to the choir

Skin color is so important to you isn't it? You are a racist, you know that...right?

 

[Lysistrata]

Red tape and indifference is one thing, but this is inexcusable. Withholding financial assistance during a declared state of emergency by making it harder if not impossible to meet the requirements to have the funds released shows the extent of the depravity of mind that some of us always knew existed, particularly as illustrated in the following excerpts

New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid​

The Trump administration's OMB also insisted on overhauls to Puerto Rico’s property management records, suspension of its minimum wage on federal contracts and other prerequisites to access relief funds, according to the report. Some HUD officials worried such requirements were potentially beyond HUD’s authority to impose on grantees.​

​

The Office of Inspector General began the review in March 2019 after Congress asked it to look into hurricane aid delays as the island sought to recover from a storm that resulted in the deaths of 2,975 people and triggered the world's second-longest blackout.​

​

Seven months after the probe was launched, two top HUD officials admitted to knowingly missing the congressionally mandated deadline to issue a notice that would have unlocked billions in federal recovery funds to Puerto Rico. Carson later defended his agency's actions by echoing Trump talking points — citing concerns about corruption, fiscal irregularities and "Puerto Rico's capacity to manage these funds."​

​

Throughout his term, Trump repeatedly opposed disaster funding for Puerto Rico while disputing and failing to acknowledge Maria's death toll. Trump had also told top White House officials "that he did not want a single dollar going to Puerto Rico," the Washington Post reported in 2019. "Instead, he wanted more of the money to go to Texas and Florida."​

more anti-Trump bullshit

Why shouldn't people be anti-trump? The only thing he can do properly is be a criminal.

 

[Leo123]

Thanks you Mariyam. I saw this on the news this past week.
Stellar reporting - Rump hated Puerto Rico - Brown people/ Shithole country ... UGHHH!!
But he did flip them a few paper towels and instructed them to "have a good time!"

Why do you lefty, TDSers always bring up skin color? Trump never did. You are racist, Trump is not.

 

[Leo123]

Trump was never indicted on anything but, we don't expect you not to be anti-Trump because your brain is filled with hatred. Keep poisoning your brain with hatred, we hope you shrivel up and go away. You and your ilk are bad for this country.

Hilarious... look at all of the curb squirrels ignore all of the reports/video/results of investigations that showed the deep corruption, squandering resources, hiding resources from people because officials were wanting to sell it.
Puerto Rico is a den of corruption. And look at all of these faux outragers bitch about what Trump did or didn't do - while ignoring the criminal corruption done by local officials.
EXACTLY like Ray Nagin in Louisiana. Only he finally went to jail for it

"Corruption" was Rump's excuse for everything. I'll bet he had NO fucking clue the PR was part of the US until that factoid pissed him off - BIGLY. Ray Nagin - SERIOUS?

I was there a year after the devastating hurricane. The PR people are among the friendliest on Earth. Stop it with the demonization of people you don't even fucking KNOW!

I'm so not surprised.

I'm disgusted but just about everything trump and his people did and do disgust me.

Good move on Trumps part.

PR is so corrupt it makes Biden look like a straight shooter.

Why are we supposed to care about Puerto Rico. It's not like they care about Americans.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

And I had completely forgotten that this was my first instance of Trump having problems with numbers.

Good move on Trumps part.

PR is so corrupt it makes Biden look like a straight shooter.

Surely you jest

 

[Likkmee]

LOL, in other words the Puerto Ricans refuses to set their corruption aside and are mad they couldn’t make bank off a catastrophe.

Nearly 1.5 Million People Don't Have Drinking Water In Puerto Rico After Maria

The head of FEMA said the devastation on the island was at a scale the US had not seen "in a very, very long time, if ever."

Millions of Undelivered Water Bottles Found Sitting on Tarmac in Puerto Rico

New reporting has revealed approximately 20,000 pallets of bottled water are just sitting there baking in the sun on a runway in Puerto Rico despite the fact that results in the hurricane-ravaged island are still in need despite President Donald Trump's boasts about doing an "unappreciated great...

NBC news...

Yes, real news. Deal with it.

 

[Crepitus]

Trump hates brown people. You’re preaching to the choir

When you have nothing else, make it about race. It's the last playing card of a loser who knows he has no rebuttal.

Because it is about race.

 

[toobfreak]

Red tape and indifference is one thing, but this is inexcusable.

Give it up, Trump's no longer in office, the Bidenistas made sure of that, unless you are prepared to go back and prosecute all the crimes by Hillary and Obumma, too.

 

[airplanemechanic]

I can promise you 90% of the liberals on this board couldn't find Puerto Rico on a fucking map.

 

[Burgermeister]

I have no doubt that the Biden admin would have worked with those corrupt fucks and found a way for everyone to get paid - including Hunter.

So you are disgusted with the COVID vaccine?
