Time to cut this island loose.

Mayor Wanda should be fired for allowing this on her turf.

Will that big mouth PR governor (mayor?) who lambasted the U.S. for not sending aid apologize? Don’t hold your breath. PR seems to be a nation of moochers waiting around for other people to solve their problems.

I remember that woman (mayor or whatever) who hogged the cameras for days on how Trump's aid was late or not arriving at all and he had caused the climate change by his policy anyway.

So the "emergency" supplies took a little while to get to the downtrodden people. Probably the stuff priced too high by the officials for sale on the black market.

Is Gov Wanda Garced the same person that was standing on an airport cargo area, two years ago, in front of 20,000 cases of bottled water complaining about how they were not receiving any aid?

Trump colluded with the manager to deny aid to the people.

Do not doubt there are leftist morons who believe exactly that.

It is well past time to cut PR loose. They bring absolutely nothing to the table and they’ve been agitating for independence for decades. I say give it to them and rid ourselves of a festering boil.

At the time, yes. But what strategic value does PR hold for the U.S. today?

This island should be it's own country.

Trump should have sent Geraldo Rivera.
He would have found the missing supplies where Al Capone hid them.
