Trump Fumbles Puerto Rico Disaster Response

SO A LOT OF FOLKS ARE CONCERNED THAT THE PUERTO RICANS ARE IN
TERRIBLE SHAPE AND DONALD TRUMP IS OBSESSED WITH THE NFL.
LET ME GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON PUERTO RICO.
THE MAYOR OF SAN JUAN SAID:
HUFFINGTON POST GOES ON:
THINGS ARE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION THERE.
ALREADY 16 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN PUERTO RICO ALONE AND THERE ARE
10,000 PEOPLE IN SHELTERS AS WE SPEAK.
DIESEL FUEL SENT TO SUPPORT PUERTO RICO FROM THE US IS
124,000 GALLONS
BECAUSE THEY NEED THAT FOR THE GENERATORS, OTHERWISE, PEOPLE'S
LIVES ARE ENDANGERED IN HOSPITALS AND OTHER PLACES.
PEOPLE ARE IN POTENTIAL DANGER IF A DAM IN PUERTO RICO FAILS IS
70,000 PEOPLE.
IT'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT, LIFE-THREATENING DANGER BUT
REMEMBER POWER AND COMMUNICATION IS OUT THERE ON THE ISLAND SO
THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW IT AND YOU ARE SEEING PICTURES THERE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE SURPRISED AFTER THE PICTURES TO
FIND OUT THAT 80% OF THE CROPS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AND THERE'S
BEEN $780 MILLION LOST IN AGRICULTURAL YIELDS.
AND WHAT HAS DONALD TRUMP'S RESPONSE BEEN?
HE TWEETED THESE BIZARRE TWEETS A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
WHY WOULD YOU PHRASE IT THAT WAY?
I DON'T THINK HE IS DOING IT CONSCIOUSLY, BUT I THINK HE
THINKS, YOU KNOW, PUERTO RICANS WERE ALREADY IN DEBT AND A MESS.
TEXAS AND FLORIDA ARE DOING GREAT.
JUST GO HELP THEM.
YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT.
YES, PUERTO RICO IS A UNITED STATES TERRITORY.
HE GOT HEAT FOR ALL OF THESE TWEETS, I WILL TELL YOU HIS
REACTION IN A SECOND BUT LET ME GIVE YOU THE OTHER TWO.
DO YOU THINK THAT HE IS BRINGING UP THE WALL STREET DEBT AS A
LIKE, THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT WALL STREET HAS GOT THEM
OVER A BARREL HERE WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING OR THAT, HEY,
PUERTO RICO HAS DIFFERENT RULES FOR HOW TO HANDLE THEIR
DEBT THAN THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND
THAT'S FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO WAY HE EVEN KNOWS THAT.
NO, IT APPEARS IN THE CONTEXT OF THOSE TWEETS HE IS SAYING,
THEY ALREADY OWED ALL THIS MONEY TO WALL STREET.
THESE PUERTO RICANS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
WITH THEM.
BUT HE CAN'T HAVE SYMPATHY OR EMPATHY FOR ANYONE HE DOESN'T
ASSOCIATE WITH.
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO CALL THAT RACIST,
AND THAT'S FINE.
CALL IT WHATEVER YOU LIKE BUT HE HAS EMPATHY FOR PEOPLE WHO LOOK
LIKE HIM AND WHO ARE IN HIS CIRCLES AND MORE THAN EVEN
RACIAL WHICH IN THIS CASE, I THINK THERE IS PLENTY OF THAT
GOING
ON, AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT CALL ON THAT.
I'M GIVING YOU ALL THE FACTS HERE, BUT LIKE HE SAID ABOUT
HIS
CABINET, I PUT RICH PEOPLE IN MY CABINET.
I DON'T WANT POOR PEOPLE IN MY GOVERNMENT.
HE THINKS RICH PEOPLE ARE SUCCESSFUL AND GOOD PEOPLE.
POOR PEOPLE OWE MONEY TO WALL STREET.
YOU OWED MONEY TO WALL STREET.
YOU WENT BANKRUPT SIX DIFFERENT TIMES BUT HE THINKS NO,
THAT'S OKAY, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AMONG THE RICH SO I'M A
GOOD GUY AND OTHERS, THEY ARE NOT WINNING.
THEY ARE A MESS.
HE'S IN ESSENCE CALLING THEM A MESS HERE AND OF COURSE, WITH NO
SENSE OF SELF AND IRONY OR ANY OF THAT STUFF TO KNOW THAT HE
ACTUALLY WAS KNOWN AS THE KING OF DEBT, BUT OF COURSE, HIS
DADDY
BAILED HIM OUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND APPARENTLY AT SOME
POINT SO DID THE RUSSIANS I GUESS HE THINKS THAT'S OKAY.
MAYBE HE'S GOING TO CALL THE RUSSIANS TO GET THEM TO
HELP PUERTO RICO.
ANYWAY, SINCE IT TOOK A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR THAT, HE PUT OUT A
STATEMENT LATER TODAY SAYING:
SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE PUERTO RICANS.
I LIVED IN NEW YORK, THEY ARE NOT REALLY MY FRIENDS BUT I
SAW PUERTO RICANS IN NEW YORK.
GREAT PEOPLE.
I'M GOING TO GO HELP THEM.
HE FINALLY SAID, HE IS GOING TO GO DOWN THERE AND VISIT, HE
JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY EARLIER.
MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU WILL, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT IS
HIS TYPE TOP PRIORITY.
