This is extortion, pure and simple. He’s telling them if they don’t start singing his praises, he won’t request, and possibly would refuse to sign, a budget allocation to send emergency aid.
Extortion of American citizens. Congress must investigate.

Of course that isn’t the plan. The plan is to blame the ensuing increased budget deficit on natural disasters, not the tax cuts.

I think many native New Yorkers have another definition of “whack” (as well as “wack”) in mind when they think of the pee-Resident.
What makes it different is that Congress has seen fit to deny Puerto Rico of the right of every State and mainland municipality AND DONALD F. TRUMP to declare bankruptcy. That, and Fred Trump’s Klan inspired dinner table banter during Donnie’s entire life about those black folks and those Puerto Ricans to whom he would not rent his LeFrak City competing outer borough apartments.

And how many years since we’ve actually had a budget?

Yeah I agree that the issue of whether or not Mel came to America legally is small potatoes in a normal administration but the orange shit stain has made legal immigration a cornerstone of his so this becomes another major hypocrisy issue for her/him. They promised to reveal the tax returns and her immigration papers after/if he was elected so let’s see the damned paperwork Mel.

After meeting with a couple and children whose home had been all but completely destroyed, Drumpf bid them goodbye saying,“Have a good time.”
Our nalt-president6 is one classless schmuck!

Meeting with hurricane survivors after the meeting, Trump repeated his wish to shelter-bound Texans following Hurricane Harvey: “Have a good time.”
WTF?! Again. It’s the auto-pilot good-bye to people he doesn’t know and doesn’t care about and can’t empathize with.

Is CNN declaring his remarks “pitch perfect” like they did his 5 minute speech yesterday?

Maybe not, but surely he will stop traveling to his golf clubs every weekend to save money, and that goes for his family too.

I hope thousands of Puerto Ricans move to Florida and turn it into a blue state.

Trump opened his remarks on hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico by thanking the elected and appointed officials seated around him, with one notable exception: the mayor of San Juan, who Trump has relentlessly attacked after she criticized the federal government’s response to the massively destructive storm.
Presidential!! Presidential!!!

Yep…I heard that one too.
“We’re going to help you. Have a good time.”
It’s as if he’s a host at a party.

And today’s trip to Puerto Rico is Trump at peak performance. This is really the best he’s got, the best he can do, him giving it his all - well, all of his all that ‘those people’ deserve.
ETA: I think it’s about time for an ego-boost rally.
