Gen. Russell Honore: Trump Doesn't Care About People of Color

Gen. Honore, the man who turned around the disaster of a response to New Orleans after thousands died, was on CNN the other day.
Asked about what Trump said over not lifting the Jones act - yet- Russell Honore said Trump doesn't care about poor people. Trump doesn't care about people of color.

And that is why Trump made sure Texas and Florida got a response. But, the most devastating hurricane in a century destroys Puerto Rico, leaving it's residence without food, water, medical help and homeless.
Trump's response is to shrug his shoulders.

A journalist today on MSNBC said she heard from Administration people that Trump does not consider Puerto Rico really part of the US.
Just a small part of it is America. But, not really America. Besides, its in debt.

Did anyone inform him it is in debt because Wall Street vultures came in and destroyed to fill their own pockets and congress went along with them and made sure Puerto Rico was left out to dry on their own? No. Because its something Trump himself would do....Wait! Trump did do. He scammed them as well.

All week I knew that the reason Trump left PR to die on its own, its people to suffer...Americans to suffer, is because he sees it as a place where brown people live. It's not a 'white' place. It's brown. Let them die.

Anyway, here is the clip of Russell Honore:

and then turn it into luxury resorts with his buddies, like he did with in Dominica and the Bahamas..

I don't know why the media are not reporting on Trump's shady business interest at the link...too busy chasing his latest tweet...

45 is a POS racist pig as are his supporters. That includes every GOP Senator and Congressperson. They are filth.

Probably cheering for disease and starvation I would assume.
