I think the comment about debt crisis in PR is that there is nowhere to borrow any more money to recover now, so US government will bare the majority of expense, as they are US Citizens. May as well at some point make them a state, and get the taxes collected after recovery to make way for new services like electricity and phones, etc. This will be 10X more expensive than Harvey in TX, or Maria in Florida/southeast.
Maybe dropping supplies by aircraft/helicopter in isolated areas would help, so those suffering get some relief in PR would be a good decision for Trump. FEMA will do well in cities and towns, but rural looks like a real challenge to get to via pics on internet.
No Trump did not insult PR, it was to start a conversation about how will we get money and how will PR ever pay back their debts now?

You’re right, he did not insult them. But the liberal fake news were crucify him if he’s simply said “God bless PR”. He’d have mentioned God and that’s soooo taboo.....
There are much easier ways to access all areas. Puerto Rico is an island. Boats can access most of the island perimeter and thus reduce distances considerably.
