What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Despite the fact that the United States is CONSTANTLY sending aid and helping other countries when disaster strikes, Trump will not allow other countries and outside agencies to send aid to Puerto Rico... all because an act from 1920 that is all about business and NOT disaster relief. So a guy that points to money for all his decisions, is refusing to allow other countries to reciprocate aid for Americans in need... over a nearly century old law. All while it is being reported that between a third to a half of the residents of the island have no clean drinking water.
"Also called the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, the Jones Act requires all goods shipped between American ports to be on ships built, owned and operated in the United States."
Trump refuses to send more aid to Puerto Rico, citing business interests
What's the problem? All the US agencies are in high gear and are successfully delivering aid to Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Oh I know the problem. You have to slag Trump.
What's the problem? Why are you against other countries chipping in to help people in need... that Trump has already said is more difficult than Houston or Florida because it is an island?
The US agencies have been completely effective in their co ordination from rescue to delivering aid. What's the problem?
Really explain what they have done for PR so far.
