Many of those facilities have been reopened just within the past day or two, but only for daytime operations, because of safety concerns.

Hard to send aid, when there is no place for planes to land, or ships to dock.

But they are working on it

WASHINGTON – The Defense Department has dispatched about 2,600 troops to aid Hurricane Maria victims in the U.S. Virgin Islands and in Puerto Rico, where access to power and communications remained severely limited five days after the Category 4 storm struck the U.S. territory.

The military has focused primarily on conducting search and rescue operations, delivering life-sustaining supplies and providing generators and fuel to power critical infrastructure such as water treatment facilities and hospitals, Army Col. Rob Manning, a Pentagon spokesman, said Monday.

Military units were also conducting route and airfield clearance in Puerto Rico, Manning said. Marines and sailors from the USS Kearsarge, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship now in the Caribbean Sea, were deployed Sunday on the island for the mission. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico National Guard members were conducting similar clearance operations while also helping evacuate victims and installing temporary communications infrastructure.

What has anyone here done for Puerto Rico? Seems like a lot could be accomplished if the energy used to bitch about Trump was used to help Puerto Rico instead.

The issue is not the daunting challenges of providing relief to Puerto Rico

It is the skewed priorities of our President

Puerto Rican recovery needs political support behind it. It needs the American People screaming.....Help those people
Instead.... Trump focuses his attention on some black players in the NFL not saluting the flag to his satisfaction

admit it wouldn't matter to you what anyone told that they may have done...

then move on to address the particular responsibilities of presidential leadership vs random citizens, if you can.

You're right...

he should buy a yacht, load it with needed items. and personally sail it to a dock that doesn't exist.

Stop being a partisan moron.

Waaaa! If Trump expresses an opinion on something other than what I want to talk about then he is a baaaad man! If he isn't talking about something non stop then he is against it! The fiend! He hates Puerto Ricans!!!

I will take that to mean you have done nothing but bitch. As other posters have pointed out the airport, docks, and ports have been out of commission until just a couple days ago and even now are working at minimum capacity you can't get supplies in when there is no place for ships to dock or planes to land. Add this to the fact Puerto Rico is not connected to the U.S. Mainland so it is going to take longer to get relief there people with common sense don't need this pointed out to them those don't play partisan politics with it.

What a nightmare for these poor people. I heard on the news last night that some outfit is traveling around providing mobil communications in St. Croix, because rescue efforts are completely stymied -- there is NO cell or radio service for first responders AT ALL. Total blackout. 1800's pre-telegraph days over there right now.
We just take for granted stuff like places to land a plane, dock a ship, and having radio and phone service for our first responders.

Over 500 murdered in Chicago so far this year, I wonder why Democrats could care less and just as soon avoid the issue, my guess is racism and inept Democratic Party political policies for oh so many DECADES. mmm.. It looks like Democrats just like to say they're not racist slime bags but simply can't prove it in reality....
