Why does Trump not want to help Puerto Rico ?

Trump raises pressure on Dems to back disaster aid bill threatened by Puerto Rico fight
But the fate of the legislation has been thrown into limbo amid a renewed fight over funding to help Puerto Rico after Trump criticized the island territory during a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans last week.

The GOP bill, spearheaded by Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), includes $600 million for food stamps aid in Puerto Rico, which was devastated by back-to-back hurricanes in 2017.

But Democrats are warning they will block the bill as currently written. Though Republicans control the Senate, they need at least seven Democrats to vote for the GOP disaster aid proposal to get over Monday's procedural hurdle.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.), the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, introduced an amendment to the GOP disaster bill to include a handful of additional provisions, including requiring the Department of Housing and Urban Development to release block-grant funding and money to help Puerto Rico repair damaged water systems.

It doesnt seem to be a lot of money.

This looks like a pretty self-owning OP to me.

Why does Trump not want to help Puerto Rico ?

He's already explained that. Because “This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water".

Get that? It's not only an island but it's surrounded by water too. "Big water". As opposed to "small water". It has many deepness. Bigly deepness in the ocean water. What's he supposed to do? It's not like we have, I dunno, "ships" or "planes" or any of that science fictionly stuff.

"This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean – and it's a big ocean, a really, really big ocean," Mr Trump told reporters earlier this week. You can't just drive your trucks there. This is tough stuff”.​

Presidenting is hard and stuff.

And when you send them blocks of money, they spend it on hookers n blow.

You must not know many Puerto-Ricans with family there.

Why is your whole thread a lie? $36.5 billion dollars to Puerto Rico in aid is not helping them? Especially when you add in this latest transfer of money? Trump signs $36.5 billion emergency aid bill for Puerto Rico, other flooding disasters

What did you do with your life before Trump became president? How did you fill that void that you fill now with brainless reflexive hate?

What a shame? An island among many in that region. And many of those islands are not doing well economically. This one has a sugar daddy has received hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of billions more over the years and is corrupted as hell.

Puerto Rico is a lovely little island full of people who want to have their cake and eat it to. They want the Rights and Privileges of being American Citizens, but don’t want to have to take on the responsibilities of citizens. That’s why they continue to vote to remain a Territory rather than becoming a State. They should not be allowed to rely on the Federal Government to bail them out of their decades of incompetence and disinterest in their own wellbeing.

I say this as the husband of a Pierro Rican woman and the son in law of two people born and raised on the island.
