President Trump on Tuesday announced he will travel to Puerto Rico next week to survey damage from Hurricane Maria.
Trump said next Tuesday is the earliest he is able to travel to the island due to the damage.
He said the island is "literally destroyed" but expressed confidence "they'll be back." He said the people of Puerto Rico "are important to all of us."
Trump added that federal authorities are landing relief supplies "on an hourly basis."

You can't tell the difference between them and other Hispanic-looking people, and you don't fucking care. Hell, you probably think you need a passport to go there. Stay the fuck home and send in the experts to assess and begin repairs. Their financial woes are irrelevant.

Most incorrigible lot of elitist psychopaths that's ever been assembled on our planet, and that includes the GOP Congress.

Why isn't one of the aircraft carriers there using its ability to produce thousands of gallons of fresh water to help the victims of the hurricane? Why isn't the Navy hospital ship "Comfort" on site?
Trump's visit is pure photo-op. As Rachel says, watch what they do and not what they say. Right now, Trump and his crew of pirates are doing shit to help the American citizens who live in the Caribbean.
