    Here is the EXACT quote:
    ?We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico,? Trump said over three, 140-character maximum tweets. ?Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates ? people are now starting to recognize the amazing work that has been done by FEMA and our great Military. All buildings now inspected ? ...for safety.

    ?Thank you to the Governor of P.R. and to all of those who are working so closely with our First Responders. Fantastic job!?
    ---

    You see that Rochard? The shit you posted IS "fake news". You took one word "ingrates" and applied it to the people of Puerto Rico.

    That's just plain out bullshit deception on your part.
    Why? What is the purpose of spreading stupidity?
    Holy crap.... In your quote he called them "politically motivated ingrates". When he says "politically motivated ingrates" he isn't talking about the press. The press isn't "ingrates"; The press are't un-thankful for anything nor is the press on the receiving end of any aid. He is calling the people of Puerto Rico "ingrates".

    We have the worst natural disaster in my lifetime and our President went off to play golf for six days and his entire administration went dark. He did nothing.

        What Trump needs to do is show what a good person in power would do in this case: Mobilize all resources and speed endless help to Puerto Rico, worry about everything else later.
        He is doing what he is supposed to do Mark. But at the same time it's imperative that the local govt. (like the Mayors) do THEIR jobs. This particular Mayor is using this crisis for political brownie points with her party.

        She came out swinging at FEMA, the military, and the entire response team while SHE is blocking needed help from getting to her people.
        It reminds me of the incompetence and corruption of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin during Katrina.

        Do you recall that?

        I do.

        CNN and MSNBC touted him as a "hero" and he lashed out at Bush and FEMA and blamed them for everything.

        Of course...it turned out that Nagin was NOT a "hero" but was a corrupt Mayor who was stealing.

        Here's where he ended up:
        "In 2014, Nagin was convicted on twenty of twenty-one charges of wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering related to bribes from city contractors before and after Katrina and was sentenced to ten years in federal prison"

        So yeah...Trump DOES need to call this Mayor of San Juan out for incompetence. If you read the detailed actual NEWS about this (and not the establishment media biased opinion pieces)...then you will see that she is not cooperating with FEMA or the military and isn't even attending the meetings with the other Mayors and the Governor.

        The media SHOULD be calling her out. But just like Nagin...they are going to paint her as a hero and the EVIL Republican President as the bad guy.

        And then when the truth is revealed? They will mention it in passing and go on to their next fake news story attacking Trump.

        It's disgusting.

            Talking to you is like talking to a fence post when it comes to Trump.
            He was talking about the Mayor of San Juan. A POLITICIAN.

            You just don't understand anything it seems. You are so hate-filled it makes you blind to the truth.
            As Trump would tweet: "Sad".

            His administration didn't go "Dark".
            What the fuck is wrong with you?
            FEMA and the military are down there busting their ass with the full force of the U.S. govt.
            Trump will be there on Tuesday. Your brain just turns off when Trump is concerned.

                Now it's coming out that the teamsters union sabotaged the relief efforts as well. All starting to make sense now.

                Liberals seem to think the way to fix their failing party is to continue on lying and deceiving. I hope the Governor orders an investigation and puts the key players in jail for what is essentially murder.

                    I don't know why you guys even waste your time. It's like trying to explain to a 5 year old why to much candy is bad, they simply lack the mental capacity to understand.

                        Wow, so when Richard Daley was mayor of Chicago, it was the responsibility of the president of the US to do something about it?

                            Amazing how guys like Robie and Baddog will do anything to defend and deflect for Trump while Americans are dying over a fucking week after the storm..

                            Its like they think some Trump money will rub off on them if they keep kissing his ass..
                            In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                trump is not in office to call people names. His job to is lead us. He is there to fix this. But instead he wants to call people names.
                                No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

                                The President is the Executive Branch of the Federal Govt.
                                He is not in charge of states or territories. The Governors are. And the cities are run by Mayors.
                                Dude..seriously? You don't even understand how government works?

                                How do you think that a place like San Francisco can declare itself a "sanctuary city"?
                                Or how Nevada and other states can legalize recreational marijuana even though it's against Federal law?

                                The Mayor of San Juan is in charge of San Juan. She and her administration have to cooperate with FEMA and the military.
                                She is not.

                                You need to go back to school and take a civics class.

                                        Coming from the guy who literally blamed Obama for everything, this is pure comedy..

                                        In fact its actually amazing you didnt find a way to blame Obama in this topic..

                                        Edit... oh shit I missed it.. you blamed Obama in your 1st post... jesus fucking christ you're a delusional crack pot..

                                        The local govt. in Puerto Rico is notoriously corrupt and inefficient.
                                        And in a natural disaster that is EXACTLY the time to call them out and get their asses to helping their constituents instead of lining their own pockets.

                                        If this were Obama saying the exact same thing...the media would be praising him to the sky for his fantastic leadership.
                                        Three massive hurricanes...and FEMA and the military under the Trump administration have responded better than any time in history.
                                        Mostly because of all the mistakes that have been made in the past by other administrations trying to deal with these kinds of things...it's easy for the Trump admin to not make those same mistakes.

                                        You seem to think that Trump tweeting that a local mayor is showing poor leadership (and Trump is in a position to know far more than you) is the most horrible thing in the world.
                                        And then you turn around and think it's just great to have the establishment anti-Trump media attack the President DURING A NATURAL DISASTER.

                                        Hypocrite much?
                                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                    On top of that, Rochead says Trump needs to do something about Cruz if there is a problem, but gets upset when Trump points out Cruz's incompetence.

                                                            You have one leader who is waist deep in water directing relief efforts, and another leader playing golf (again today) while calling people names on social medial.

                                                                                                                    Yeah, it's all Trump's fault! LOL!! Get some facts people, then maybe you won't look so foolish. Looking at you Crockett, Mark, Rochard, Bronco, Andy, and Thommy.... Try getting fact-based news. Just a suggestion.

When he did, instead of mentioning support, he mentioned how badly in debt Puerto Rico is. It took an entire week after the hurricane for Trump to take any action at all, when he suspended the Jones act. Every hospital on the island was shut down, but it took Trump more than a week to send out a hospital ship.

                                                                                                                                But this is what Trump does - he does nothing, then when the blame is put on him he shifts the blame to someone else.

                                                                                                                                In the mean time, after every hurricane, his administration said "now is not the time to discuss climate change". They did it again today with "now is not the time to discuss gun control". Well, when is a good time to discuss these things?

He has the lowest long term approval rating of any modern US president.
