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.

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..

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.

We are just wasting our time. Rochard is a smart guy...but like a lot of other smart people he makes himself intentionally ignorant when it comes to Trump to justify his hatred of the man.

Coming from the guy who literally blamed Obama for everything, this is pure comedy.. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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..

You can't fix stupid

Robbie logic.. Obama didn't rush in to save the day in a few hours at Benghazi equals impeachment..

Trump still tweeting how great he is 8 days after a hurricane while people due equals best leadership!

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.

Actually it's been 11 days since Maria hit, but who's counting.

Let me see if I understand you correctly.... The Mayor of San Juan who was wading around in waist deep water the other day carrying a bull horn so she can direct emergency response is an ingrate?

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.

Worst. President. Ever.

What incompetence?

He is the leader of the most powerful country in the world. His job isn't to call people names on social media. His job is to fix the problem. His job to protect these people. Worst natural disaster in decades and the trump administration went dark for six days while trump played golf.

Who is incompetent?

Hurricane Maria Timeline of Federal Response
 

Ahh my bad I've been on the road so lost track of days.

Yes, she is an ingrate and a bad leader.

Wading in water doesn't make you a good leader or even a good person. Ray Nagin did the same thing in New Orleans during Katrina.
He was hailed as a HERO by CNN.
He is now in Federal prison for stealing money during Katrina.

That's what a Mayor who is waist deep in water with a bullhorn means...NOTHING.
Action is what is called for. Not photo ops for your lying, fake news CNN to broadcast.

Why isn't she going to the meeting with the other mayors , the governor, FEMA, and the military to coordinate efforts? Why is she not allowing food and supplies that are sitting RIGHT THERE to be distributed.

You are so hate-filled that you simply can not see the truth. And you never will.

"Went dark"

Is that a new talking point that CNN or MSNBC is throwing around and you keep repeating it?

There is no such thing. I actually watch the news every day. There have been press conferences every day of the week.

You are totally and completely ignorant of all things that don't happen within a mile of your house. :(

Can you point out where he was assigning blame please? I don't see it.

Robbie has 8 years history on GFY of blaming Obama for everything.. Pretty much any political topic he's posted in, he will have said something about Obama, Obama, Obama...

Robbie was using the blame the media excuse using Obama as the piñata.. His typical MO is to blame shift, which you already know because we all know you are a fake nick, so stop playing the dumb, dumb role...

You're a right winger, you guys claim you do everything yourself.. bootstrap that shit, don't ask me to do it for you.. get off your fake nick ass and do some searching...

Wading in water accomplishing what? Too busy to do the paperwork or attend meetings. Not good at delegating; all about micro managing I suppose.

and photo ops.

I'm quite sure if it were you in need of food, water or medicine, you would like to have someone who did whatever it took to get it to you.
Do you think as a individual your voice would speak as loudly there as it does here.
Who would hear you ? Who might care ?

When will SOMEONE take a shot at Trump..

c'mon shooters.... you can do it. You can buy an AR-15 anywhere and you WILL go down as a national hero

hahahahaha awesome.... perfect

do the country a favor, shoot a republican

If Trump said Robbies' kids are ingrates he would probably disown them

you have DRANK THE KOOLAID

Trump didn't even know Puerto Rico was a US territory lol

Most of you have been severely misled by the lying liberal media.

FACTS: We have sent thousands of shipping containers full of food and medicine to the port of a city run by Democrats, under the full administration of the Democrats, with a distribution effort coordinated with trucking unions run by Democrats, who are refusing to Distribute the goods, in an effort to make Trump look bad.

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.

ohhh - how proud you are that you only read UN-LIBERAL media.

btw. do you know the meaning of the word "liberal" ?

Thommy. There's a big difference between today's far left radical "liberals," and a true classical liberal.

Here ya go: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=classical+liberal&t=h_&ia=web

:pimp

Really Robbie?

Trump failed to mention Puerto Rico from 9/20 until 9/25. 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?

I'm sorry Robbie, Trump has been in office for ten months and has accomplished nothing, nothing at all. He has the lowest long term approval rating of any modern US president.

This is a massive failure.
