Trump attacks ‘nasty’ San Juan mayor and accuses Puerto Rico workers of being lazy in vicious tweet frenzy
Tom Boggioni30 Sep 2017 at 07:40 ET

President Donald Trump launched an early morning Twitter attack on the mayor of San Juan, saying she is being manipulated by the Democratic Party, and told to be “nasty” to him.

He followed that up by blaming her leadership for the slowness in repairs, while calling Puerto Rican workers lazy who “want everything done for them.”

Throughout Friday, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz made multiple appeals to mainland U.S. citizens that “people are dying” in Puerto Rico, and was mildly critical of the president for not sending more help to the U.S. territory that was ravaged by a hurricane.

Later in the day, Cruz ramped up her appeal, specifically addressing Trump, saying, “We are not as second-class citizens, but as animals that can be disposed of.”

1. He is demented. Evil, ignorant, and demented.

[adigal]

61. And not even hiding hismracism any more....i heard several commentators note

The use of the word "they" again, and that this is what institutionalized white supremacy looks like.

[Achilleaze]

2. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief pisses on victims

proving once again that republican values suck cesspool scum.

[Blue_Adept]

3. Such a normal presidency

[livetohike]

4. Congress better act now and relieve him of his duties.

This is shameful. Unfit, mentally unstable fool.

[OliverQ]

29. They won't. Repukes are just as evil and unfit as he is.

[True_Blue]

46. Seriously! How many scandals & bodies

Have to pile up before they finally decide to get rid of this abomination in the WH?

[CanSocDem]

5. Quotation marks are your friend. (eom)

[Squinch]

6. Hooooooooooly shit! That is so sick! That man is true evil!

I wish karma would hurry the hell up. He is lower than shit on a shoe.

[padah513]

7. What the heck is wrong with this guy?

When are one of these republicans gonna grow a backbone and say enough is enough.

[Scarsdale]

22. Not until the

Russian money dries up!!

[llmart]

42. Not until their jobs are in jeopardy...

They're hoping that the mid-terms go their way and if they see well in advance that they aren't, then they'll start revising their history and pretending they were anti-trump all along.

[DK504]

44. I don't care if democratic dog catchers run for their jobs, but

any one of them have to run. All democrats HAVE to run and put these asshole Rethugs on the ropes.

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. "What the heck is wrong with this guy?"

He is a full blown clinical psychopath. Seriously.
and he is being controlled by the Koch brothers, the Mercers, etc.
There will soon follow attempts to profit off the destruction.

[cannabis_flower]

8. What I don't understand is..

why aren't we using military transport helicopters to transport supplies if they can't be moved by truck because the roads are destroyed?

[Rorey]

13. Easy explanation...

It's because the Democrats told the San Juan mayor to be "nasty" to Trump and because of "poor leadership" in Puerto Rico and because the "people of Puerto Rico are lazy". It, of course, has nothing to do with the ineptitude of this administration.

But, yes, great point.

[riversedge]

20. Why no air drops?? that is what should be happening.

[Scarsdale]

23. Strangely enough

all the major networks are driving around, viewing the destruction and interviewing people!!

[jmowreader]

49. Military transport helicopters don't have the capacity we need

Most of the shipping containers you see going down the road on trucks in the US are filled with one thing. That won't work in a disaster because you have to break down the containers when they get to the port and split up the contents, and you really don't want to take the time to do that. What you want to do is design a Standard Aid Package. We'll say the aid package will weigh 45,000 pounds and it'll have water, blankets, food, medical supplies. sanitation supplies... and then you pack each container accordingly. When you get it to the disaster area, you stick it on a truck, haul it to a community, set it on the ground and let the people it's going to break it down.

There is not one helicopter in the US inventory that can lift a 40-foot high-cube with 45,000 pounds of materiel in it. What we need to send down there, RIGHT FUCKING NOW!, is Army Palletized Load System trucks - which are designed to load and unload a 40-foot container without the use of a crane. They're based on a truck Oshkosh makes that has tires that come up to your shoulder blades and are two feet wide. That rig doesn't have any need for roads.

It would help matters significantly, though, if we didn't have a president who's currently trying to commit genocide in Puerto Rico.

[cannabis_flower]

50. Perhaps this is true...

but these Russian helicopters would fit the bill. Too bad we can't get some of these:

Powered by a pair of 11,000 horsepower turboshaft engines, the Halo and its five-man crew can transport up to 44,000 pounds of cargo, or roughly 11 family cars, at once. The Halo's power and payload capacity is more than twice that of the U.S Army's workhorse CH-47 Chinook helicopter.

59. A 40 foot container weighs over three tons

Http://www.freightgate.com/resources/container.tet

45k max on the hook minus 7k tare weight means only 38k of usable load...which sounds like a lot until you remember what water weighs.

No, the big Oshkosh container haulers are still our best bet.

[PearliePoo2]

9. The entire world needs to see this demented p.o.s. for what he is.

People are dying and his lazy, fat ass is golfing and viciously attacking the victims, as usual. God, I HATE him.

[Sancho]

10. tRump's base loves this...they hate women and Hispanics

He knows exactly what he's doing....

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Anyone who has lived in or near

a large community of Puerto Ricans will tell you don't get on their bad side because they will let you have it.

[vlyons]

12. Trump cannot see

because his malignant narcissistic ego is the mote in his eye. How can anyone be so heartless?

[yallerdawg]

14. He's issuing these tweets from his golf resort at Bedminster.

He's scheduled to appear at the "President's Cup" tournament tomorrow.

He has lost all credibility. He is a certifiable pathological liar. He isn't even a normal human being with normal human responses.

Even Faux News can't spin this anymore.

[wryter2000]

54. I hope everyone in attendance boos him

The only thing that gets to him is hurting his ego.

[adigal]

62. He is a sociopath. The psychologists in tha new book warned us he is dangerous

And he is now presiding over genocide.

[otchmoson]

15. Start counting bodies

Someone needs to start counting bodies . . . those who died DURING Maria, but also those who have died since. Between no energy, no communication, dwindling supplies of food/water/medicine . . . the death toll must be rising rapidly. Right now, with no communications, no one is able to do this morbid count. But when the bodies can be heaped at Trump's feet . . . and the blood can be "seen" on his hands, perhaps the outrage will rise to a level where needed action will be taken.

[mopinko]

31. there will be plenty once they get access to the rest of the island.

[milestogo]

16. The more truthful people are, the more he hates them.

[spiderpig]

17. I'm hoarse from screaming at the tweets as they appeared on MSNBC.

You've all said what I think, and this disgusting piece of vermin in the Oval Office has got to face the consequences of his evil words and deeds.

(But maybe I should show him some sympathy because this national tragedy interrupted his umpteenth golf weekend.)

[riversedge]

18. What is below the stinking sewer?? Whatever it is, Trump is in it!

[riversedge]

19. I saw a pic yesterday of RP folks clearing roads with their bare hands-big trees. Wish I had

saved it and could send to trump.

[onecent]

21. Dotard HAS NO EMPATHY...esp. when it comes to money and his fucking pocketbook

I hope Mueller is on his way to get to Trump FOR GOOD....

Just wondering if I am HOPING that something good could from from all of this....

[lastlib]

24. But white supremacists and neo-Nazis are "very fine people"......

GOD, I LOATHE this POS!

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. I have shed a lot of tears of frustration since November 08.

Today is the worst yet.

[George II]

27. What a sick human being, and I'm using "human being" to be nice. Why doesn't he talk about.....

....what he did last week. The day after the hurricane hit, he took off for New Jersey for a 4-day weekend of golf, interrupted briefly Friday night to make his infamous "son of a bitch" speech.

He's going to Puerto Rico on Tuesday? That's THIRTEEN DAYS after the storm hit. What's your rush, donnie?

[COLGATE4]

28. I don't know why we are saddled with this

infantile, egotistical, whiny, lying, sociopathic, ignorant son of a bitch. Kudos to the Republicans in Congress for maintaining this miserable excuse for a human being as President instead of signing off on Articles of Impeachment. Hecka of a job, Trumpy.

[Paladin]

30. I figured he'd respond like this.

trump is never at a loss to express his sick problems with women. I hope he pays for this, big-time and soon.

[Snotcicles]

32. What do these early morning tweets prove?

Trump has a DVR.

[dalton99a]

33. Another 'nasty' female

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. An embarrassment around the world - see links.

I'm sure there's many more like those. Makes me want to climb into a hole and hide.

[Grammy23]

35. I can't even be shocked or stunned at his lack of empathy any more.

He has proven to be unfit as a human being, much less a person in leadership. I keep thinking that sooner or later he will go too far and even the most die hard fans will abandon him. I keep forgetting that they are as cruel and heartless as he is. That is why they were drawn to him in the first place. Like moths to the flame.

I hope that someone is keeping track of his lack of judgment, cruelty and unnecessary meaness. Some day---oh, please let it be soon---he needs to be confronted with his awfulness. I want to see him have to sit there and try to defend what cannot be defended. Tie him to the chair if we must, but force him to sit there and see it all. Bastard, SOB, POS etc are words that are inadequate to describe him.

[nwduke]

36. And what nickname

Is the child/president going to bestow on her? Who dares say anything bad against the emperor!

[lark]

37. We do!

38. They need TENS OF THOUSANDS in one photo in PR taking to a knee.....

This POS doesn't care...

[left-of-center2012]

39. Wow! Just wow.

Just when you think this A-hole can't get any worse,
he amazes us with his pettiness.

I fear he will take out his anger on the people on Puerto Rico.

[chowder66]

40. And there it is. He really needs to go....like yesterday. nt

[sarisataka]

41. He should be able to empathize

with some who has trouble with their workers. In his few months he has had more turnover in staff and cabinet members than more 8 year administrations...

I wonder if that is 'such poor leadership'?

[Man_Bear_Pig]

43. Insanity

[bpositive]

45. to quote lyrics from a Roger Waters song...

Picture a leader with no fuckin brains...

[SunSeeker]

47. LIAR!!! There are NOT "10,000 Federal workers" there!

There's only about 4,500, and about 2,750 of those are local Puerto Rican National Guard--who are dealing with their own destroyed homes and hungry, thirsty families.

[Eliot Rosewater]

52. While he is lying about that he is taking us back 50 years in Kooba, or Cuba.

Kooba as in how to pronounce it.

The non russian planet sees us as what we are now, a danger to all life.

58. My grandmother-in-law is clearing her driveway and yard by hand as we speak

She's a widow in her 80's in a suburb of San Juan. She's got help; her even older brother-in-law and his wife. They're doing this in heat and humidity without power, sewer or running water, because the alternative is to sit down and break down mentally from utter helplessness. We've had all of two phone calls from them in the last 3 weeks, each less than 5 minutes before they lost the signal.

But please, tell me more about those lazy Puerto Ricans.....

[IcyPeas]

60. he is a fucking prick. can nothing be done about this?
