Again, why government should never be run like a business...

People are dying while you're following the management style of blaming someone else for the problem, like Trump did when he complained about Puerto Rico's infra-structure.

1. they are actively blaming PR as you say...Trump and team would be fired after one day

on the job as night manager of a convenience store.

2. Everytime Trump brings up PR, he also mentions their debt and the cost of recovery.

Did he do that for and of the storm damaged areas on the mainland? So what does Trump see that is different about the plight of all those US citizens on Puerto Rico? Let's say is together, shall we? They aren't white.

"The buck stops with Obama"

6. It's a funny thing

Government has to attend to a whole bunch of things that a business never has to worry about. Things that aren't profit centers. Things that don't make a big splash on the next quarterly report, but that are indispensable for making sure there are more quarterly reports far into the future.

Recovering from a natural disaster isn't a money-making opportunity, except in the sense of getting people back on their feet and productive again. You simply have to pay the costs of clean up and rebuilding, all the while getting food, clothing, and shelter for people who've lost everything.

8. It might be said that running a government like a business is the very worst way to go.

Businesses do not operate in the interests of the people. Business and government are not compatible.
