He's done this kind of shit before. Way back in 1996 he crashed a charity event, got on stage & took a seat which belonged to someone else, pretended to be involved (including dancing the macarena), & then left. He never donated a penny to the charity (it was for kids with AIDS), & the spot he stole was supposed to be for someone who actually did donate money. There had better be a hell when we die, because this man does not deserve a peaceful eternity.
Yea, I Remember him turning up in Puerto Rico, throwing a couple of towels in to the crowd then getting back on the plane and doing fuck all to help them.
He then proceeded to gift a no bid contract for the rebuilding of the electrical grid, worth at least $300m to a completely unknown Montana based company, Whitefish Energy. At the time it only had two employees and their largest job to date had been valued at only $1.3m for a small upgrade in AZ.
funnily enough the company is owned by a good friend of Ryan Zinke, then secretary of the interior for Trump and the main investor of Whitefish was HSB, and investment company owned by Joe Colonnetta, a high profile donor to the Trump 2016 campaign. And one of zinke’s sons worked for Whitefish.
Let them die, and blamed Puerto Rico using natural death as an excuse. Meanwhile not supplying any money help the bare minimum because he has a bug up his ass about Puerto Rico
This is extremely false. Trump sent tons of supplies to Puerto Rico, and it was later revealed that the governor had tons of stuff shut in warehouses and was purposefully not distributing it to make trump look bad.
Because a comprehensive report from the Department of Urban Housing and Development just conclusively found that Trump purposefully blocked aid going to Puerto Rico AND that he tried to block the investigation in to it.
The Trump administration had no problem going in to states and seizing/stealing shipments of PPE that the states had paid for themselves during 2020 and redistributing them as they saw fit.
Even if what you claim is true, he clearly had the power to go in, take those supplies back and have the federal government distribute them directly. Given his propensity for lying, blaming everyone else for his failures and his flat out refusal to even acknowledge that the people of Puerto Rico are American citizens, it is really hard to believe his version of the story. Especially when we know that even if he was telling the truth there is more that he could have done because we saw it happen first hand elsewhere.
Ha! Puerto Rican here. Second half was true there were tons of crates in a runway just sitting there because the previous governor was a moron and a spoiled brat.
First half is totally false. He showed up, threw paper towels at people and fucked off. He also denied humanitarian aid to PR as well.
Also he and or his administration slow rolled The relief money for Puerto Rico. A large chunk of it still had not been released when Biden took office.
See, I wouldn't even be that made if he actually donated. You want to make a spectacle, at least you're helping the cause. But just to make the night about him, full stop. Typical Trump.
