Trumps War Against Puerto Rico

President Donald Trump, caught up short by the widely televised criticisms of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, went on one of his now-standard weekend twitter rants, accusing Cruz of `poor leadership` and others on the hurricane-devastated island who `want everything to be done for them.

Trump threw paper towels into the audience as if he were shooting hoops.

Puerto Rico mayor says the visiting president was `insulting` to the island`s hurricane-hit people.

A new study on the death toll in Puerto Rico following last year`s major hurricane has cast another cloud over the Trump Administration`s initial response.

A new report found that, among other issues, physicians weren`t properly trained to certify deaths in disasters.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz slammed the president for being `incapable of feeling solidarity and empathy.`

“Our purpose is to really move forward and think about what we can do with [these findings],” said a Hurricane Maria report’s lead investigator.

Trump drew ire for bragging that his administration did `the best job` in dealing with the fallout from Hurricane Maria last year.

At least five deaths so far have been linked to Florence, now a tropical storm. Meanwhile, the president continues to rant about last year`s disaster.

A year after Hurricane Maria, the case for community-owned, renewably-powered microgrids is growing clearer.
