Donald Trump slams Puerto Rico as Congress considers disaster aid bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Puerto Rico Monday as Congress considers a disaster relief bill, claiming the island is already receiving enough help.

In a tweet accused Democrats of holding up relief for other states in a bid to get more money for hurricane-ravaged island, Trump said: "Puerto Rico should be very happy and the Dems should stop blocking much needed Disaster Relief."

Trump suggested Puerto Rico had received $91 billion in aid. However, the amount allocated to Puerto Rico by Congress is far less: $41 billion, according to PolitiFact. Of that, $11 billion has been spent as the island seeks to recover from the 2017 hurricanes Maria and Irma.

The dispute between Trump and congressional Democrats has delayed congressional approval of a $14 billion federal disaster relief bill that remains in limbo.

But after months of discussions, pressure is building on Trump to strike a deal.
