According to our "transparent", "does what he promises", "speaks directly to the people" President, the above, the fact that the American citizens in Puerto Rico went for exceedingly extended periods without clean drinking water or electricity and that almost 3000 people died is an "incredible unsung success"!!!
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) says it has approved 75 of the 2,431 overall requests for funeral assistance related to Hurricane Maria, which struck Puerto Rico last year.
The agency told Senate Democrats in a letter dated last month and released Tuesday that the vast majority of the claims it had received through the end of July, 97 percent, were rejected or awaited a decision due to the agency's requirement that documentation be provided showing that a death was storm-related.
FEMA did not say how many of the 2,431 requests were deemed eligible for funeral assistance.

“The historical relationship between Puerto Rico and Washington is unfair and unAmerican,” Rosselló said. “It is certainly not a successful relationship.”
Rosselló called on Trump to extend federal coverage to continuing work on housing restoration and clean-up that is still ongoing on the island.
“This was the worst natural disaster in our modern history,” he said. “Our basic infrastructure was devastated, thousands of our people lost their lives and many others still struggle.”
"Now is not the time to pass judgement; it is time to channel every effort to improve the lives of over 3 million Americans in Puerto Rico," he added.
