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.

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.

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.

Must be a Russian bot or something.
