Trump defends the government response in Puerto Rico the day after Puerto Rico raised its death toll from Hurricane Maria to 2,975.

"I think we did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico ... I think most of the people in Puerto Rico really appreciate what we've done." (via ABC)



After Hurricane Maria, Trump’s inhumane response that resulted in 2,975 US citizen’s deaths:

🔹42 days for the USS Comfort to arrive
🔹Mocked PR Mayor for begging for help
🔹Paper Towels
🔹Supplies rot in storage
🔹1 year, No electricity

1. I'm sure they appreciated the rolls of paper towels he threw at them.

4. because after every CAT5 Hurricane

my first thought is where are the paper towels?...and how am I going to restock my supply of them?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Yes, you always need paper towels to mop up the water.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. Well, you can also use the paper towels

to wash your windo…

Oh SNAP - WHAT windows???

2. He is truly a sick man

I don't expect him to have any empathy. However, is there not one person, not one, just one person in this administration that knows better. Not one, person that could have issued a statement showing remorse for the immense loss of life.

3. Reality bites

5. Donald, you can go fuck yourself.

7. Almost as great as he did in Helsinki

Yeah, that's the ticket !

[NastyRiffraff]

8. He really does live in an alternative universe

Or else he's lying.

Both can be true, of course.

9. I'm pretty sure they have a shoddy electric grid up that is providing consistent....

electricity to almost everyone. No thanks to the Federal Government.

The hurricane hit in Sept of last year.

10. Really?!?

"I think most of the people in Puerto Rico really appreciate what we've done."

Well, I can think of at least 3000 people that don't share that sentiment!

11. Killing US citizens is not doing a good job

[anarch]

20. well, that depends on who you're working for

and what purpose you're working towards. I mean, did the 9/11 hijackers do a "good job"? I imagine a number of enemies of the U.S. were pretty well pleased...if you assume Fuckface's actual goal is to destroy America and demoralize the population...well....

12. I imagine there are nearly 3,000 and their families who would disagree.

Tossing paper towels isn't a life-saving activity.

[ecstatic]

14. I can't imagine a full day without electricity

1 year is beyond apocalypse territory! Unacceptable! trump is a disgusting coward!

[kmla]

15. Yep. Heckuva job there, Brownie.

[John Fante]

16. GWB's presidency never truly recovered from Katrina

and the federal response to that tragedy was FAR superior to Trump's botched handling or PR. The fact that Trump chastised Puerto Rico for not paying its bills only makes the situation more horrid.

[sweetroxie]

17. Donald Trump is truly delusional.

[Mc Mike]

18. Bigger body count than Katrina or 9/11.

Approaching Iraq fiasco (US) bodycount.

19. fantastic! yes, double plus good!

oooh yeah, that was some fantastic paper towel tossing! i've never seen anything like it before!
