Puerto Rico was a disaster before the hurricane, at the hands of socialists and Democrat advised politicians. Now, the guilty parties want to intimidate President Trump, aided by the media and willing US politicians, to build them a new Territory or be labeled a “racist”. I’ve seen this play before.
I've flown into PR several times over the years and one thing I always notice, regardless of when a hurricane last impacted the island, is that blue tarps always seem to cover many of the houses. I presume that many of the residents either don't care, can't afford the repair, or can't find materials to make a repair. If they're dependent upon the government, there's a good chance that the government gave them a blue tarp and said, "here, make due."
