President Donald Trump accused San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz of playing politics in a tweet Saturday after she delivered an emotional speech accusing the administration of “killing” Puerto Rico’s people. “If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying,” she said during an interview with CNN on Friday. “And you are killing us with the inefficiency.”

Trump appeared angry by the mayor’s dramatic accusations, especially after they were used by his critics and some members of the media to accuse him of failing Puerto Rico with recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

“The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump,” the president wrote on Twitter.

This mayor will be sorry she took the liberal bait.
Maybe they promised her new investments in Puerto Rico if she played ball. Very whiney and undiplomatic.

The left has no shame. They are rooting for death and destruction just to criticize Trump.

PR was doing great until the KLINTOONS decided to repeal tax cuts that created jobs and prosperity.

Right on cue, this Mayor is wearing a t-shirt with the latest leftist sloganeering.

By the end of Monday, this t-shirt will be worn by celebrities and various leftist activists who will all post selfies of themselves on Twitter.

I think they want to poison the well so that Trump won’t visit.

The organized Left did. Where do you think the professionally pre-printed signs and shock troops wearing the same t-shirts come from.

Some Rat in the murky bowels of the DNC decided that this Mayor is going to be the next cause celebre. They contacted her, rushed her a t-shirt, gave her the anti-Trump talking points, and by end of Monday a hashtag will be created and you'll see all the celebrities and leftist activists wearing this t-shirt and snapping selfies of themselves wearing it.

It's what the Left does and it's predictable as the sun rising.

Puerto Ricos econonmy was devastated by BILL KLINTOON repeal of Section 936.

In the 1980's and 90's the economy was booming

KLINTOON and his fellow communists just couldn't stand the fact that corporations could set up shop there and pay low taxes.

The communists in PR and the US conspired to kick out the US Navy, which was a HUGE mistake.

PR's current economy is a DIRECT RESULT OF AMERICAN COMMUNISTS in the CPUSA and DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Somehow in spite of having no power, no help, and all the dying we managed to print these kick ass anti-Trump t-shirts.

Trump should tweet about the shirts.

Don’t worry folks. Beyonce is going to donate to PR, Mehico, and Islands affected by the hurricanes. No mention of Fl or Tx though. Add this up with NFL players taken a knee and Puerto Ricans complaining....me thinks whitey is unappreciated and hated by the minority community.

Some grief stricken Puerto Rican who knows what is really happening needs to have an out back conversation with her.

Where is the “help us we’re dying” t-shirt? I saw a green and white shirt that said something about running.

WASHINGTON — New York Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez Thursday defended pressuring the Bush administration to order the U.S. Navy to leave the Puerto Rican island of Vieques in 2003, blaming the military’s munitions for the area’s high cancer rate and ignoring the high jobless rate since the Navy left.
