“A lot of time and effort in Puerto Rico is being spent on clearing a runway long enough for Air Force ONE to land next week when President Trump visits”.

If he's going to show up, he can see the damage from the aircraft flying over the island and go home. No one needs his fake handing out of food supplies in the heat which might make him have a heart attack and garner some sympathy. Trump and FLOTUS needs to stay home. They take away more than they give, as personal must be provided to their detail for security purposes and this just takes away resources from the assistance that the people really need.

He'll just get in the way of people trying to do real work there. He'll just find another way to mock them.

He needs to face suffering, desperate people.

Give him the finger, moon him, scream. Throw rotten food at his car but don't fucking bow, scrape, or kneel to this motherfucker. Anything but that

His base would go wild. Tweety would get tingles up his leg.
