Trump slams San Juan mayor while claiming Puerto Rico 'got more money than Texas, Florida combined'

Daily Mail  

President Trump sent a trio of tweets late Monday criticizing Puerto Rico's government and its 'crazed and 'incompetent' mayor of San Juan while claiming money has already been allocated for the island's recovery from a devastating hurricane. President Trump on Monday lashed out at Puerto Rico and the 'crazed and incompetent' mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a Republican disaster aid bill, saying it doesn't do enough to help Puerto Rico, which prompted Trump to lash out on Twitter 'Puerto Rico got far more money than Texas & Florida combined, yet their government can't do anything right, the place is a mess - nothing works,' the president tweeted Trump then mentioned the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz 'Puerto Rico got far more money than Texas & Florida combined, yet their government can't do anything right, the place is a mess - nothing works. Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a Republican disaster aid bill, saying it doesn't do enough to help Puerto Rico. The amount of money in dispute is relatively small, but Trump feels antipathy toward Puerto Rico's government and Senate Republicans backed him up - for now - in denying Democratic demands for more aid to rebuild its badly damaged water systems and to ease the requirement that Puerto Rico financially match a portion of the federal government's aid contribution.
