Trump attacks ‘nasty’ San Juan mayor and accuses Puerto Rico workers of being lazy in vicious tweet frenzy

President Donald Trump launched an early morning Twitter attack on the mayor of San Juan, saying she is being manipulated by the Democratic Party, and told to be “nasty” to him.

He followed that up by blaming her leadership for the slowness in repairs, while calling Puerto Rican workers lazy, saying they “want everything done for them.”

Throughout Friday, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz made multiple appeals to mainland U.S. citizens that “people are dying” in Puerto Rico, and was mildly critical of the president for not sending more help to the U.S. territory that was ravaged by a hurricane.

Later in the day, Cruz ramped up her appeal, specifically addressing Trump, saying, “We are not as second-class citizens, but as animals that can be disposed of.”

1. I am speechless. I don't get this, I don't understand...

How, why?

4. The mayor had the temerity to say the federal response was inadequate,

that Puerto Rico desperately needed help they weren't getting, and that people were dying on account of it. (She also made the mistake of being a Latino woman.) SCROTUS doesn't like it when people suggest that he or something he's responsible for is less then perfect, wonderful, great, the best ever.

Why he reacts this way is that he's a malignant narcissist who believes everything in the world is about him.

8. Trump is a white supremacist

It's easy to understand. Trump is fine with non whites dying. He seeks a pure white country. The only reason he's giving any help at all is because he is expected to. But he's been dragging his feet at the cost of lives and now he's insulting the victims because he is pure evil.

Trump is evil and he wants genocide.

Compare his response to Houston to this. It's 100% about race.

2. That mayor is a hero

3. When the POS goes to PR, I hope they lose him somewhere flooded

where there is no food, water & see how the maggot survives.
He is the most despicable human being on the planet.

7. He won't be greeted with cheers,

MAGA hats, and high-fives the way he was in Florida.

5. A feeble attempt at rationalizing his contempt for all things Puerto Rican.

He makes a very weak case. As usual.

6. 1 MILLION Puerto Ricans in Florida

The phone lines should be melting with calls to Rudio and Scott. The mid terms are coming and every Puerto Rican in America needs to CALL and make their views of how tRUMP is treating this disaster an issue!

My God he's an evil rotten to the core creature.

11. Saw this on Twitter today and it may explain a lot...

Though I believe it speaks more about the average Trump supporter and Trump himself...
not so much average Americans. The Trumps are the very worst of our society.
