HELP ON THE WAY: Despite Leftist Claims, Trump Administration Is Sending Aid To Puerto Rico
Ten thousand Federal aid workers are already on the ground in the hurricane-ravaged nation.
In fairness to the left, the President has been Tweeting a lot about the NFL lately, and when he talked about Puerto Rico on the social network, it was mostly to address the territory's major debt problems. But everyone from Hillary Clinton (yep, still on that godforsaken book tour) to USA Today has been whining that Trump has abdicated his duty to save Americans by focusing public attention on kneeling athletes.
There are some issues with the meme, of course: first off, Donald Trump is likely capable of handling more than one thing at a time, and Twitter takes no longer than a handful of seconds to manage. It's also not clear what leftists expect the President to do in a time of emergency; he certainly can't devote every waking moment to one state, even if it is in a particularly dire situation, and he's already scheduled to be on the ground in Puerto Rico later this week.
Do leftists expect Melania to pop by the island and personally reconnect the power grid? There's no doubt Melania is probably capable (and could do it with one D&G clad arm tied behind her back), but it's not really reasonable to put the First Family to work on national infrastructure.
