Because they are intentionally not distributing aid. Personally I would have called them worse.

Rochard, that's why we voted for him. To call it like it is.
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?

By the way Rochard...you are WRONG again.

Trump didn't call "Puerto Ricans" "ingrates"

He called POLITICIANS ingrates.

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?

The mayor of San Juan is too busy trying to become a celebrity.







Even the mayor of Guaynabo slammed that bitch:

When asked about Cruz?s ?genocide? statement, Perez said, ?I don?t know why she is saying that. What I can tell you is my experience. She is not participating in any meetings and we had a couple already with the governors and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, of these whole federal agencies that have given us help and she?s not participating in those meetings and some mayors from her political party have been participating, so I don?t know why she is saying that. My experience is very different.?
Fellow Mayor Rips San Juan Mayor's Trump | The Daily Caller

I know you can't see this because I'm on your ignore for telling you the truth about you...which you don't want to hear, but you are such an asshole. You are probably the one of the world's biggest assholes and anything bad that happens to you in life, you deserve.

Let's see this play out for the next months, and if it doesn't become Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in Puerto Rico, with hundreds of lives lost then I'll say Trump did a good job (and that's a low bar). But that won't happen because he's incapable of doing a good job.

Just watched CNN and they had their usual "talk show" (they don't bother reporting news anymore).
This was Jake Tapper's "show" (he's not a news anchor anymore).
And the panel of "experts" were painting this as Trump being...racist.

Wow. That's all those people do is try to divide the country with racial divisiveness.
EVERYTHING Trump says or does is "racist" according to CNN.

Trump says that illegal Mexican immigrants include rapists and murderers that local Mexican govt.'s free from jail....RACIST.
NFL players disrespect the flag and the country by taking a knee and Trump says they should be fired for it? RACIST
Puerto Rico mayor attacks Trump on the news...Trump responds that she is a poor leader...the news headlines are "Trump Slams Puerto Rico Mayor As She Begs For Help".
And it's...RACIST.

Shit is getting so old from the establishment media.

For the moment I think all of that should be put aside. I would feed my neighbour even if he hated me in a time of need or disaster.

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.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

The President of the United States is our leader, he is in charge; If the government in Puerto Rico is notoriously corrupt and inefficient, it's up to our president to take charge, handle the situation, and fix it.

Or he can spend six days playing golf in New Jersey.

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.

Let's make sure that Robbie gets the chance to see this.

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" ?
