How big an emergency aid package did Trump propose, and Congress authorize, to patch up Puerto Rico? $20 billion?

And, during the immediate post-hurricane period, didn’t Puerto Rican truck drivers strike for higher pay while aid materiel from the US sat at the docks?

No wonder Trump got frustrated and said, “They want us to do everything for them.”

That was fake news. That never actually happened.

Why yes they did.
They took heed of Rahm Emanuels “never let a crisis go to waste” theory.
Just more proof that unions are evil entities.

“No wonder Trump got frustrated and said, “They want us to do everything for them.”

Just like their democrat brethren in NOLA after Katrina.
A local fellow took his two dump trucks to NO after Katrina to help with the clean up.
After a week he got disgusted and moved over to Biloxi.
He said the people he saw in NO were waiting for someone else to do everything while the people in Biloxi rolled up their sleeves, got out the tools and went to work.
