    Oh you mean that CNN story from yesterday that CNN can't conform and that is of hearsay. Which means its fake news.

    Here in AZ we have wildfires. Some of them can get bad. However, 9/10 they don't threat anything major and are usually put out in about a week. But, people clear out dead trees/plants around their property, make a deference zone, and have a emergency "bug out" bag just in case. You would think that PR would have a emergency plan including logistics in place for when a the shi* hits the fan

    Toilet paper / paper towel. Throw "at" them / throw to them. I guess it's all the same if your brain has been numbed by too much #fakenews and mainstream media spin :frustrated:

    It actually does not matter if he said this or not

    Bottom line is that trump has said so many stupid, idiotic and just plain dumb things that no one disbelieves this is true

    To be able to do that you have to have some decent resources first and since the island was stiffed by Dirty Don to the tune of $33 million...

    PR has been corrupt long before Trump come along. And they still are.

    They were just talking about it on the Weather Channel today and it's kind of funny how nonchalantly they reminded us that it's been 2 years and they still have blue tarps everywhere.

    That doesn't make me feel like the Puerto Ricans as a whole are giving 110%.

    :above: #fakenews :above: #fakenews :above:

    The golf course was already headed for bankruptcy. Trump tried to save it and failed. It had already been given $26 billion by the PR government long before Trump ever owned the golf course.

    You lefties like Snopes, right? Straight from left-leaning Snopes:

    "Does all this mean that Trump “bankrupted” the golf course, though? Not exactly.

    The evidence shows that Coca Beach had consistently been operating at a loss and accumulating debts in the years before Trump International became involved with its management. And a significant portion of the financial assistance provided by the Puerto Rican government was given in 2000 and 2004, well before the future U.S. president’s company arrived on the scene."

    and

    "Donald Trump did not set Coco Beach Golf and Country Club on course for ruin, but he wasn’t able to save it from that fate."

    When Puerto Rico filed bankruptcy in 2017 they had $123 BILLION in debt. The $32 million golf course loss constituted only .03% of the debt (and $26 million of the $32 million was debt the golf course already had before Trump came into the picture.)

    But don't let me take any of the fun out of your Trump hating memes......

    The president was obviously referring to the fact PR is in danger again from the major storm of 2017...not that hurricanes don’t happen.

    They were rent-free so I'm assuming it was right up until 30 seconds before they were kicked out. Comparing New Orleans and Puerto Rico is like comparing Beavis and Butthead.

    Oh, I don't know, how about "Another storm heading for PR, our prayers our with their families"?

    You're right though, trump and trash like him would never say anything decent.

    ^ That's why you should probably quote (and read) my entire post. I already covered how you lefties hate "thoughts and prayers", so entertain us and tell us again how you would have applauded Trump if he'd offered prayers to the families LMAO :roll:

    Just admit it, there's nothing he could have said which would have pleased you haters.

    Here, I'll help you out. I suggest you read the whole thing this time ;)

    I did read it and it was inane so I left it out. Not only is it dumb to think he would be criticized for saying that - it's DUMBER to think he would.

    And yet there are countless threads here mocking and b*tching when folks offer "thoughts and prayers", ROFL. You lefties crack me up. Thoughts and prayers are great! I hate it when people offer "thoughts and prayers"! Thoughts and prayers suck! No wait, now I think thoughts and prayers are great! Trump should have offered thoughts and prayers! :spin:

    Sample tweet for a real future president...

    "Another potential hurricane heading towards Puerto Rico and our friends in the Carribean. Everybody in the impacted areas should prepare accordingly and heed local requests to evacuate and/or relocate to secure storm centers. If not possible, store water, canned foods, extra medicines, and all supplies needed for pets. Best of luck if the storm hits you. The USA will be there afterwards to help as quickly as we can. God bless."

    Something like that... I did that while simultaneously reading a fantasy hockey article, so I know it's not that hard..

    And yet.......you would have criticized that too :nod:

    Trump called them "our friends", what a liar we know he hates Puerto Ricans!

    Trump spelled Caribbean "Carribean", he's so stupid he should be impeached, he doesn't even know how to spell Caribbean!

    He tells them to prepare, like these people have enough money to prepare, he's heartless!

    Storm centers? Like Puerto Rico has enough storm centers! Trump doesn't know anything about Puerto Rico!

    Pets, he mentioned pets! Like pets are as important as people! He should be telling them to focus on people only, Trump has his priorities all mixed up!

    "Best of luck if the storm hits you"?? "Best of luck"? Could he sound more insincere and flippant! "Best of luck"?? Trump is so callous!

    We'll be there to help "as quickly as we can"? How about we'll be there to help IMMEDIATELY! Trump acts like we'll just send help when it's convenient! Doesn't he know it's life or death?

    Trump said "GOD"!!!!! Can you believe Trump said "God"! Trump is trying to interject religion into his announcement! What about the Muslims and the atheists and the satanists and everyone else who will be offended????

    ^ ^ ^
    It's sad, I can literally imagine folks here and/or in the media howling about these exact inane things :roflol:

    They're gonna need help. Send those illegals in lockup there to help them out.
