Donald Trump seems to be the only one who doesn’t think that the federal government’s response to Hurricane Maria was an unqualified failure on just about every level. Supplies were few and far inbetween, the territory was without power for weeks. There are still large sections that today don’t have electricity. That’s not to mention the bacterial infection outbreak, the breakdown of utilities and infrastructure, that left people without basic things like clean drinking water. Oh, the hurricane and it’s aftermath was responsible for almost 3000 lost lives as of today. Now, a big hurricane is always going to be catastrophic to a community that was struck, but Trump and his administrations response to it was and continues to be an embarrassment. Constant pleas for help were met with lots of public assurance that it would happen, with no real action. It’s so bad, that Trump himself is publicly disputing the death toll, because the idea that he’s a big fat failure is not an image he wants the world to see…though to that, I would say “too late.” Make no mistake, Trump’s administration and Trump himself did shamefully little to help the people of Puerto Rico. He thought he could throw some paper towel rolls and call it a day and hit the links, and then expect people to be okay with it. But people shouldn’t be. Trump failed those people in a big way, and now he wants to rewrite history and pretend that he didn’t. But the people of Puerto Rico are still around to let everyone know that when the time came to act, Trump and his team sunk to the challenge.
