Trump is not going to do anything about Puerto Rico

So what can everyone else do to help ?

Do they need US govt approval for foreign govt help ?

How about charities ?

Will Puerto Rico Turn Out To Be Trump's Nola/Katrina

They are in dire straits, no food, no water and no real help.

A whole lot of primitives agreeing.

Puerto Rico officials praise President Trump for response to the hurricane

Oh my.

This isn't what the Democrats, liberals, and primitives were hoping for.

Puerto Rico Officials Praise Trump Admin for Response to Hurricane Maria

Puerto Rico officials are praising the proactive response by President Donald Trump and the federal government to the catastrophic damage wrought by Hurricane Maria.

Trump spoke on Thursday with the governors of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Earlier in the week Trump signed official disaster declarations for the two U.S. territories, according to The Hill.

The AP via Politico reported on Saturday:

Large amounts of federal aid began moving into Puerto Rico on Saturday, welcomed by local officials who praised the Trump administration’s response but called for the emergency loosening of rules long blamed for condemning the U.S. territory to second-class status (The Jones Act).

…(Gov. Ricardo) Rossello and other officials praised the federal government for planning its response in detail before the storm hit, a contrast with what Puerto Rico has long seen as the neglect of 3.4 million Americans living in a territory without a vote in Congress or the electoral college.

“This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination,” said Resident Commission Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico’s non-voting representative in Washington.

…The opening of the island’s main port in the capital allowed 11 ships to bring in 1.6 million gallons of water, 23,000 cots, dozens of generators and food. Dozens more shipments are expected in upcoming days.

The federal aid effort is racing to stem a growing humanitarian crisis in towns left without fresh water, fuel, electricity or phone service. Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is in charge of the relief effort, said they would take satellite phones to all of Puerto Rico’s towns and cities, more than half of which were cut off following Maria’s devastating crossing of Puerto Rico on Wednesday.

Former journalist Cate Long summed up the response, “On the ground or in transit to Puerto Rico — FEMA, US DODFEMA, US DOD, US DOE, US National Guard, US Coast Guard, Marines, 3 state national guards.”.....

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And then there's this:

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton, whom Trump vanquished in the 2016 presidential election, tried to score political points by making it appear as if Trump was not responding to Puerto Rico and din’t know they are Americans, “President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now. These are American citizens.”

When will he get off his ass and send hurricane relief

No, not Trump and Maria.

That sorry-assed Kenyan that ran up and got his picture made after Sandy, was worshipped by the left and the media, and then did nothing.

Almost 5 Years Later, Some Sandy Victims Are Still Waiting For Help

A Category 1 that was 200 miles from Washington DC and Jug-Ears couldn't handle it.

DU-Reality is what DU-folk imagine it should be. As for charities, the charities DU-folk hate, such as the Salvation Army and Samaritan's Purse were gearing up their hurricane response before Maria hit PR.

This the reason the MSM covered Harvey and Irma so heavily, and Maria more the way they normally would. Harvey and Irma had the best chance, in their view, to be what DU-member Me (how appropriate!) still hopes for. After 2 heavy-duty hurricanes in quick succession where pretty much everything was handled well, the MSM have given up their hopes for  Trump-Gotcha moment. DU-member Me is less bright.

To quote frank, oh my! From http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/devastated-puerto-rico-needs-unprecedented-aid-says-governor/

Quote
JOHN YANG: Governor, are you getting all the aid you need or getting it fast enough from the states?

GOV. RICARDO ROSSELLO: First of all, we are very grateful for the administration. They have responded quickly.

The president has been very attentive to the situation, personally calling me several times. FEMA and the FEMA director have been here in Puerto Rico twice. As a matter of fact, they were here with us today, making sure that all the resources in FEMA were working in conjunction with the central government.

We have been working together. We have been getting results. The magnitude of this catastrophe is enormous. This is going to take a lot of help, a lot of collaboration. So, my call is to congressmen and congresswomen to take action quickly and conclusively with an aid package for Puerto Rico.

We are in the midst of potentially having a humanitarian crisis here in Puerto Rico which would translate to a humanitarian crisis in the United States. So, I call upon Congress to take action immediately. You know, Puerto Ricans are proud U.S. citizens.

How many times is the Gov. of Puerto Rico going to have to beg for help
from the Trump admin before they do something? None, it's already been handled.
