FEMA is there now, and they're doing something. Sadly, it took more than a week of badgering to make that happen.
 
Puerto rico is at a turning point. it can either:

  1. use its pre-hurricane bankruptcy and the disaster to become a permanent basket case dependent on government aid, or . ..
  2. start with a clean sheet of paper, concerning rebuilding hotels, restaurants, the airport, hospitals, and other job creating activities. make it easier for investors/corporations to break ground and build something. both foreign as well as US based. Scrapping the rule that says only "US manned ships" can transport stuff between PR and the USA is a great start. We don't have a rule saying only US manned ships can deliver goods between Los Angeles and China/Japan.
 
But... but... but it's only because the San Juan mayor had t-shirts printed that this happened! Trump would have let all the brown people die otherwise! Honest!

they were there earlier, just not in scale due to conditions resulting from the devastation. as you know.

The administration claims they were there. The PR people on the ground didn't see them. That's what I really know from watching many such interviews.

Anyway, it's nice to see them finally there and starting to make a difference.

yes, with the island being in a state of devastation, I am certain that the overwhelming majority of residents did not see them immediately/

It's a shame they cannot make all of this magically disappear and have everything back to normal in 72hrs.......o_O

Hurricane Katrina sunk Bush's Presidency, prior to that his approval rating was still hovering in between 40-50% despite Iraq.

After Hurricane Katrina his approval rating (I no longer have any faith in any Presidential approval rating) nor his Presidency ever recovered.

The left was hoping, praying...with all these Hurricanes they would finally have the magic bullet for the Trump Administration. The Government has functioned very well during all these crisis and it is driving the left insane......

How many residents are there in PR, bugeye?

How many have most of us actually seen?



Well then, using YOUR fuked in the head "logic", I reckon all the unseen ones are phantoms, huh?

These 10,000 FEMA agents/phantoms Trump yacked about should be used as secret agents in foreign countries.

As should the vast majority of the population of Puerto Rico, for most people have YET to actually see them. Oh we hear that they are there, but like you, if we can't personally see each and every one of them they can't exist, right?

Huh? They've been interviewed on TV for over a week. They didn't see the 10,000 FEMA phantoms.

Not the entire population of Puerto Rico. THAT is who I am referring. I see the ones being interviewed so I know they are there. But because we haven't seen everyone you claim to be there, I, like yourself, must assume they really aren't there.

See how jacked up this line of "reasoning" is when others use it as you like to do?
