Trump was right all along about Puerto Rico, with protests blowing apart Democrats' hurricane narrativeAmerican Thinker, Jul 22, 2019, Monica Showalter
Democrats have cynically dined out for years on the false narrative that President Trump was always trying to hold down Puerto Rico.
Taking a page from the number they did on President Bush in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, they claimed that the U.S. territory, ravaged as it was by Hurricane Maria in 2017, was intentionally not getting the aid it needed, all because Trump was a racist who hated them. Remember this dreck from Democratic Party standard-bearer, Hillary Clinton, who said she wasn't sure President Trump actually knew that Puerto Ricans were citizens? This is an actual narrative from Democrats.com themselves, and it snapped into place the moment the hurricane touched down in 2017.

Trump tried to highlight that the local Puerto Rican government, loaded as it was with Trump-hating leftists, was the reason the aid wasn't getting through. Trump sent aid swiftly and was angry that it sat on the docks as Puerto Rican leftist pols postured for the press. Remember how San Juan's leftist mayor cried all those crocodile tears against Trump as the press fawned and Democrats claimed her as their own? Yet Trump the aid was there, and it generally just went to waste, all because Puerto Rican officials -- with weird ties to the Clinton machine, by the way -- couldn't lay off the corruption for just a few weeks.
Now, the matter has exploded, with hundreds of thousands of Puerto Rico's beleaguered people protesting in the streets to demand that their corrupt leaders just get the heck out.
The commonwealth's governor, Ricardo Rosselló, who recently got caught for his remarks on a local bulletin board disparaging Puerto Rico's hurricane victims, is being called on to resign.
