    FEMA Contract Called for 30 Million Meals for Puerto Ricans. 50,000 Were Delivered.

    “It appears that the Trump Administration’s response to the hurricanes in Puerto Rico in 2017 suffered from the same flaws as the Bush Administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005,” wrote Representatives Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland and Stacey E. Plaskett, the nonvoting delegate from the United States Virgin Islands.

    And we've known this.
    We've known previous death toll numbers flew in the face of common sense & reality.

    We know our President threw paper towels, gave himself a good grade, and moved on.

    We know history will remember this tragedy, and its tragedians.

    KNOW this.

    I think that asking what we, collectively, have done about a crisis situation that's led to 4600 deaths--and how it's essentially been ignored by the media--is a more germane question than what 57 has personally done.

    That’s true but you cant sit back and bitch at others for their failure to help when you haven’t given a dime or a second of your time to help. If that makes sense

    none, Dems are stingy. They think wealthy people should pay for everything. Blacks <cough> <cough> don't donate. We still want our reparations.

    I donate to my church, who in turn keep food houses, women shelters and homeless shelters, let me count 3 in town. My job contributes a lot and the owner is a devout Catholic. I don't think we have any Democrat ran shelters of any type in town and I am sure we went Democrat in voting.

    3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island,

    AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much.

    Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...

    .....This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad

    as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico.

    If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list.

    Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!

    Trump says 2,975 people didn’t die in Puerto Rico & falsely claims Dems made up deaths…

    1) The Death toll was estimated by GW & accepted as official

    2) Trump was negligent in the storm’s aftermath

    3) Erasing lives to feed your ego is disgraceful @POTUS

    I haven’t followed the news lately. Has the governor and his team gotten Puerto Rico back up and running or has its governor been run out of office and members of his staff jailed for stealing money?
