Still, no Biden this, Biden that, when under the lesser hurricane with Trump the media and Puerto Rico were blasting Trump day after day after day after day. Now the US media doesn't say anything about Biden and Puerto Rico is blaming their own. When Trump blamed the Puerto Rico government, he was blasted for it.

Well, here it is days afterward and Puerto Rico is still a disaster. Where is the blame for Biden that Trump got nonstop? With a lesser hurricane it was Trump this and Trump that and Trump is doing such a horrible job with PR aid and help. Now, with things just as bad or worse under Biden, the place is still a disaster days afterward and not a peep from the US media about how anything is Biden's fault and PR itself blames their own government. When Trump blamed the PR government years ago, Trump was attacked for doing so.

 

LOL. Seriously? Right now about 70% to 80% of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction.

Days after the hurricane Puerto Rico is still in bad shape and not one criticism of Biden. Not one. The US media doesn't blame Biden for any of it and Puerto Rico blames their own government, not Biden. With the last hurricane it was day after day after day of attacking Trump and when Trump said it was Puerto Rico's government which was at fault, Trump was attacked for it.

 

There hasn't been a need that I know of. Biden signed the emergency declaration without much fanfare and allowed federal agencies to send personnel and support such as FEMA and the DoD. Now what's needed is funding from Congress to help pay for the devastation. That has not occurred yet and that is in the House/Senate corner now.

 

You must have a tough time reading. Puerto Ricans are upset because their situation is bad. It's a simple fact that years ago Trump was blamed for everything. This hurricane, even though things are still bad days later, Biden gets blamed for nothing. Years ago Trump tried blaming the PR government and was attacked for it. This hurricane they just blame the PR government. Biden gets a free pass.

 

cause Biden is not attacking PR like Trump did, and not making them beg for help

 

Then why are things so terrible in PR right now? Oh, yeah, it's someone else's fault, not Biden's.

 

Biden is giving them the help they need, takes time to rebuild, especially with more storms on the way

the difference between Biden and Trump, is Biden doesn't attack them over it and take it personally

 

You must have a reading comprehension problem. Puerto Ricans are upset that they are NOT getting the help they need. Several years ago it was all Trump's fault. But, the US press and Puerto Rico themselves won't bash a Democratic president, even though they are NOT getting the help they need. Do I need to repost the link?

 

yes, and Biden is not attacking them, people are always upset they need more help faster in a tragedy like this, Trump took it personally

Trump wanted them to worship him as a savior, when that did not happen, he no longer wanted to help.... that is not appropriate behavior for a President

 

Puerto Ricans have been that way since Hurricane Maria. Nothing new there. And I have said, early in this thread, that the Puerto Ricans are very weary of federal help of any kind.

Again, what is there to blame? He signed the executive order. He has sent FEMA and DoD workers there to help. Now, it is congress's turn to foot the bill, so to speak. And that is both Democrat and Republican I might add. None of them are offering anything except what Sen. Shumer said. And I think Rep Demmings has called for full federal aid. But no traction in Congress by anyone. That is not on Biden, that is on Congress.

 

Goal post moving. First hurricane, Trump gets blamed for everything by the MSM, democrats, and Puerto Rico. Second hurricane, same devastation but Biden gets a pass from the MSM, Democrats, and Puerto Rico.

 

All of that is irrelevant. First hurricane, everyone blames Trump. Second hurricane, which is worse, no one blames Biden.

 

C’mon,dude. The man changed an official trajectory forecast with a sharpie! He had untold powers… lol

 

The blame on Trump wasn't the hurricane, it was the way Trump used the situation for political gian by wanting the Puerto Ricans to beg for help and then praise him as their "savior." Like I said, he wthield the aid for political reasons and still believes that Puerto Rico are not US citizens. That is where the blame comes from. Has Biden done any of that? No.

 

Trump was chastised for the way he spoke about the relief effort…. They are surrounded by water so they don’t need bottled water, for example. He boasted that there were very few deaths while they were still counting bodies. There are too many examples of him being his truest self. This was the issue.

 

Trump brought it on himself by attacking people trying to get help, Trump fragile ego makes it so he can only think about himself
