| Trump visits hurricane-wracked Puerto Rico |
| 2017-10-04 |
| [Iran Press TV] US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has arrived in hurricane-wracked Puerto Rico, hoping to highlight federal recovery efforts and repair damage done by his controversial early response to the crisis. Trump’s trip to the US territory of Puerto Rico on Tuesday, normally a fairly routine show of presidential empathy, has taken on outsized political meaning. During roughly five hours on ground, the president will meet first responders, officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as well as survivors. Already this storm season, Trump has visited hurricane-damaged states of Texas, Louisiana and Florida. "It's been amazing what's been done in a very short period of time on Puerto Rico," Trump told news hounds, defending the response. "There's never been a piece of land that we've known that was so devastated," he claimed. |

| #10 "And here we are in Puerto Rico, who got punched right in the junk and has the sad likes of this Mayor, this grafter from Carnegie Mellon trying to throw her best spoiled child at checkout counter tantrum - and failing badly," It is imperative in selection of Leaders, that in OHSHHHI.. they know what to do. She has fixed nothing, and is contaminating Our communication channels. Plans next to have comms no matter what. Just you wait! |

| #9 "speaking only for myself - for a few moments there I started fearing that you hear voices." Well, when I get antsy like that, I know something is wrong and cannot put my finger on it. |

| #8 This President has done better than any in disaster relief. He has had people on the ground in every instance and he hired very well. It is of my opinion that when we had our fire storm back in March, someone very high up was coordinating with states to ease trucking regulations in order to allow oversize/overweight rigs to travel all across the Midwest in order to deliver hay and fencing supplies. That was happening before we even had the fire out. Same thing for the North Dakota draught. Those two actions probably saved 1,000,000+ head of cattle, and I am not exaggerating. Again, for the Montana fire complex. And again for Harvey. Hay was on its way before the storm had even passed. The Cajun Navy was given a pass. Remember when we first discovered the Cajun Navy, afterwards the Obama administration was going to requiring licensing and training, registration for anyone performing a water rescue? I guarantee if that had been in effect it would have been rescinded. And again in front of Irma, easing untold suffering. And here we are in Puerto Rico, who got punched right in the junk and has the sad likes of this Mayor, this grafter from Carnegie Mellon trying to throw her best spoiled child at checkout counter tantrum - and failing badly, I mean Green Helmut Guy would have been a better choice - and her crew and still overcoming. |

| #1 The screed I delivered on Puerto Rico was, I think the worst I have done. But who knows. The impression I get is things are rolling now. I do not wish harm on Any people. None of this Creation. But I do get terribly irate when people mis-manage states leading to people suffering.' Bearing false witness about such in political screed makes it harder to define real problems and creates static. This exhaustive year has worn me out. I apologize, really. And I feel bad for what I have written. This President has done better than any in disaster relief. He has had people on the ground in every instance and he hired very well. According to him that Governor was very receptive. That Mayor on the other hand... Is starting to be. |
