I absolutely agree with San Juan's Mayor; Trump is the Disaster-In-Chief.
It all boils down to one thing that that orange idiot and many of his supporters believe - that Puerto Ricans aren't really Americans - which is why they haven't been given the help that Americans from any other part of the country would get.

@Kraichgauer: And less than a year after PR voted for statehood.

I can't help but feel there is an undercurrent of racism involved in this. also, it would suit the billionaire psychopaths perfectly if there was a mass migration of Puerto Ricans up north, abandoning their lands for the billionaires to appropriate for their own corrupt uses.

If you're right about Trump's billionaire boy's club wanting to use this disaster as a land grab, then the orange buffoon will have to decide which group of supporters he'll back - the billionaires vs the redneck nativists - as their agendas regarding Puerto Rico are completely opposed to one another.

I hope our client can keep his new yacht charged down there in Puerto Rico. He was super excited to get it before Christmas and enjoy it with his family.

the psychopathic billionaires can turn the rednecks any way they wish, and if not, in the words of jay gould, "I can hire one half of the working class to kill off the other half."

Sadly enough, I'm afraid Gould was right.

today's working class has gone to seed. not their grandfathers' or even their fathers' working class.

That is sadly true.

Food For Thought: Which half of Puerto Rico still has power?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the wealthiest people in Puerto Rico still have power.

Puerto Rico may be an impoverished place, but most impoverished places have a group of wealthy elites who exist to exploit everyone else.
