If Puerto Rico is an American territory why would Dotard Groper Don the Con tell them that they are throwing 'OUR' budget out of whack. How offensive was that?

During a long-overdue tour of Puerto Rico to survey hurricane damage, President Trump had few comforting words for victims on the island. Instead, the president gave Puerto Ricans an earful about all the money the US government is spending to help the US territory.
"I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you are throwing our budget out of whack," he said. "We've spent a lot of money in Puerto Rico."
It was an odd thing to say at a moment when presidents are expected to offer comforting words to disaster victims. Even worse, it doesn't seem to be true. Based on FEMA public assistance data, the government isn't spending that much money in Puerto Rico yet.

The story begins after the death of Trumps father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddys family was largely cut out.
When Fred Sr. died, Freddys children sued, claiming that the will had been procured by fraud and undue influence by Donald and the other surviving siblings, according to Johnston.
Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddys grandson (Donalds grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarchs death in 1999 said that all costs for the sick childs care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didnt last long.
A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddys son (Donalds nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge.
