Apparently, Puerto Rico controls the weather (Twit tweet):

Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end? Congress approved 92 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico last year, an all time record of its kind for “anywhere.”

It was like he had heard just that day what an "island" was, and he was trying to explain it to all of us dumbfucks who aren't blessed to be as smart or as educated as he is.

Dorian is a very small storm - at most it will be a Cat 1 when/if it hits Puerto Rico.

And that's probably the edited version too, the original tweet probably went something like this:

Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Why do they keep doing this - I know they can control the weather??? Congress approved 92 Billion Paper Towels for Puerto Rico last year, an all time record of no bedbugs, no collusion and Putin good Obama bad!
