Lin-Manuel Miranda to Trump: 'We still need your help' in Puerto Rico
Lin-Manuel Miranda wants President Trump to make up for a "lost weekend" delaying disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
The "Hamilton" playwright and actor headlined the Unity March for Puerto Rico in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. Miranda told The Hill in an interview the rally's core message to Trump is, "we still need your help."
"The message is that we're here and Puerto Rico is still — half of the island is still without power — and we still need your help," Miranda said, directing his message to Trump.
Miranda, whose parents are Puerto Rican, has been sharply critical of the Trump administration's disaster response.
In the immediate aftermath of Maria, Miranda tweeted that the president was "going straight to hell."
