‘We did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico’: Trump defends response despite spike in deaths after Hurricane Mariahttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2018/08/29/we-did-a-fantastic-job-in-puerto-rico-trump-defends-response-despite-spike-in-deaths-after-hurricane-maria/?utm_term=.26212d45df67

President Trump on Wednesday defended his administration's response to a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico last year, despite a study released this week that said there was a spike in deaths on the island in the six months that followed.

“I think we did a fantastic job,” Trump said, responding to a question from a reporter at the White House. He called the emergency on the island “by far the most difficult” of the areas of the United States and its territories ravaged by hurricanes.

“It's hard to get things on the island,” Trump said, comparing the situation to response efforts in Texas and Florida, which also suffered significant damage.

Yes, because the US (the world's biggest economy with the world's largest military) doesn't have ships, planes or helicopters to move personnel and material to an island. We don't have the military assets that can arrive on scene to assist in the aftermath.

It's just too hard.

“When the hurricane came, people said, 'What are we going to do about the electrical?' That wasn't really the hurricane. It was before the hurricane,” Trump said. “We've put a lot of money and a lot of effort into Puerto Rico.” He said Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, who unlike other politicians in the territory has been supportive of Trump, was “happy with the job we've done.”

Oh I see the hurricane didn't knock out the electrical power. All the lines and poles just came down or snapped on their own before the storm arrived and that damned FAKE NEWS media didn't bother to tell anyone!!

Doesn't sound like the Gov is so happy...

At a news conference Tuesday, Rosselló accepted the GWU report, which found that his administration was largely unprepared for the magnitude of the storm, and acknowledged he had “made mistakes.”

It is “time to correct what we didn’t do well,” he said.

So much corruption packed in to such a small space.

It's been run by Democrats forever.

They infect the system like cholera in the water supply.

what you expect not rise in deaths after a natural disaster ?


Let Me Remind you what you said a while back;

Every post you make is against anyone or any group that doesn't conform to your propagandist viewpoints.

Despite it being hard to get things onto the island it was done.
Things arrived in great numbers.

Then it was allowed to sit there and rot, by incompetent islanders.

Their power grid sucked long before the hurricane,same reason incompetent island leadership.
Speaking of a spike in deaths after the hurricane, That's what happens on a badly governed territory that was ill prepared and badly handled.
That's what happens after a major storm.

The biggest mistake made was letting the local leadership handle things instead of stepping in and having it done right.

The biggest mistake made was accepting the island from the Spanish.
