Michael Smith says:
“Puerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean. Islands in the Caribbean are statistically more likely to be hit by a hurricane each year than any other single location in the Western Hemisphere.
Puerto Rico is a self-governing island, a protectorate of the United States and receives $21 billion in aid each year and received $16 billion in disaster aid to cope with the damage done by Hurricane Maria.
There are 3.7 million people in Puerto Rico.
And yet, it is Donald Trump's fault that the Puerto Rican government was not 1) ready for the disaster, 2) had no infrastructure in place to deal with the aftermath and 3) failed at distributing donations and materials sent by aid agencies and the federal government.
This isn't a failure of Trump or FEMA, this is the legacy of a corrupt government made up of people wanting to be a big fish in a small pond at the expense of the people.”
The federal government is NOT a first responder. Democrats pretend it is when a Republican like Bush or Trump are in office, when in fact, it is the responsibility of the governor and the mayors. When a Democrat is in the White House, the media just looks the other way and finds something else to write about like racism, or homophobia.
