President Trump kicked off Tuesday morning with more tweets about the NFL, saying there was "Great anger" at last night's game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals.

There should, however, be great anger for Trump's response to the crisis in Puerto Rico. On Monday, a day after the governor of Puerto Rico declared the humanitarian crisis on the island was one of epic proportions, Trump chose to react by calling out Puerto Rico's "broken infrastructure and massive debt."

Puerto Rico is poorer than all 50 states with an unemployment rate that hovers around 12 percent. The territory suffered from a major recession in 2006 and declared a form of bankruptcy earlier this year, which they're still recovering from. So, naturally, Trump chose to hit them where it hurts while they're down.

Instead of rallying the United States behind the 3.4 million American citizens in Puerto Rico—and doing what most presidents might do and, you know, unite us through our common humanity—Trump chose to highlight the territory's debt to Wall Street. Meanwhile, 60 percent of Puerto Rico is still without clean water, power has not been restored, hospitals are running out of fuel for generators, and ATM lines are out of control.

Trump spent much more time on the NFL these last few days than the crisis involving Americans because he knows what will resonate with his base. A disaster in Puerto Rico is not high on the list of what will mobilize the #MAGA audience. The President's Twitter rants can only be paired with images of Puerto Rico literally in the dark.

His divisive rhetoric couples with the White House stalling on federal aid packages will hurt people in Puerto Rico. It was reported yesterday that a disaster aid request from the White House will be sent to Congress but not until the first or second week of October. They can't wait that long.

Puerto Rico should not be an afterthought. Not after the biggest catastrophe in its history.

Update: Trump will visit Puerto Rico next Tuesday. According to CNN, he "said it was the earliest date he could reach the devastated island."
