My god. In the wake of the devastating Puerto Rico hurricane, "Trump told then-White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly ... he did not want a single dollar going to Puerto Rico... Instead, he wanted more of the money to go to Texas and Florida"

(43,182 posts)5. Trump's approach towards Puerto Rico has been Stalinesqe.
Collective punishment against an entire people for perceived disloyalty.
That's exactly how Stalin viewed the Ukrainians in the 1930s, and millions died of starvation as a result.
While not anywhere close in scope or severity, it's still the same exact mindset Trump has towards Puerto Ricans in their time of need.

(12,232 posts)7. It's purposeful that Trump wants to divert disaster funds from CA and Puerto Rico to pay for wall.
He cant comprehend the ties between Puerto Rico and the United States and wants to actively decimate blue state economies.
Petty, racist and, yes, evil.
