    Trash to hated Puerto Ricans: You

    'Traumatized' Puerto Ricans rocked by more strong quakes

    Two strong aftershocks collapsed homes and cracked walls in Puerto Rico on Friday as the Caribbean island tried to recover from its worst earthquake in more than a century.

    The first quake of magnitude 5.2 struck at 6:26 p.m. (5:26 p.m. EST),

    followed by another of magnitude 4.8 about four hours later, both centered on the island’s southwest coast

    Shaken residents in the south said the aftershocks were the strongest since Tuesday’s 6.4 magnitude earthquake,

    which killed at least one person,

    destroyed or damaged about 300 homes and

    knocked out power across the island.

    spent the night in a stadium, fearful their homes would collapse after hundreds of quakes and tremors in the last 13 days.

    Trump pledged his support for Puerto Rico

    after having approved an emergency declaration earlier in the week to mobilize resources.

    Scott said more than 6,000 people were in emergency shelters.

    Trump declares Puerto Rico quake disaster, ties strings to relief

    boosting aid to the island a day after placing tougher restrictions on billions of dollars in delayed hurricane relief.

    Republican Trump has repeatedly clashed with Puerto Rico,

    calling the island “one of the most corrupt places on earth.”

    the Trump administration imposed dozens of new conditions on the island’s government to access $8.3 billion in delayed recovery funds for Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.

    Trump has described Puerto Rico’s leaders as either “incompetent or corrupt” and officials said the conditions were necessary to get the funds to Puerto Ricans.

    Trump was holding Puerto Rico to a higher standard than U.S. states and called on Trump to release tens of billions more in delayed hurricane aid.

    “The president considers disaster recovery money nothing more than

    a bargaining chip in his petty political vendetta against people of color,”

    The U.S. government has distributed around $15 billion of the $44 billion in aid the U.S. Congress approved for Puerto Rico after the hurricanes that killed about 3,000 people.

    Among new restrictions on the relief is a

    requirement Puerto Rico’s government get approval for aid spending from the island’s Fiscal Control Board, a federally-appointed agency for restructuring the territory’s debt.


    The requirements also

    block spending on Puerto Rico’s ageing electricity grid and

    suspend its $15-per-hour minimum wage for federal relief work.

    goddamn racist Trash and goddamn his racist Exec branch.

    Team Trash threatens to veto disaster relief for Puerto Rico after January's destructive earthquakes

    The steaming pile of white nationalist garbage known as Team Trump ...

    is warning Congress that it intends to veto disaster relief for those earthquakes.

    the administration "strongly opposes" a new bill
    allocating $4.7 billion in relief.

    OMB claims the House is

    "rushing" through the process,

    lauds Dear Leader's "unprecedented" assistance to Puerto Rico, and

    raises the talking-point specter of "waste, fraud, and abuse."

    white nationalist racist Trash's HATE of PRs is now American policy

    Trump shifts on Puerto Rico,
    releases aid as election nears


    Trump announced the release Friday of $13 billion in assistance

    to repair years-old hurricane damage in Puerto Rico

    and pledged to restore its economy,

    setting aside his past bitter treatment of the island and its leaders as

    he courts Puerto Rican voters in the U.S., particularly in the crucial swing state of Florida.

    Trump has spent much of his administration blasting Puerto Rican officials as corrupt and inept, and

    he has opposed spending to rebuild a power grid and other infrastructure that was wiped out by the Hurricane Maria in September 2017.

    “I’m the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico,"

    he said at a White House press conference, "no one even close.”
