Great now they’re back to whining about Trump & Puerto Rico ! any state hit by any hurricanes tornadoes or anything else should look to the private sector it’s faster and in the past has done a better job

HH201707 Not helping our own fellow AMERICAN PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO, IS THE MOST UN-AMERICAN TREATMENT OF FELLOW AMERICANS, EVER DONE BY A PRESIDENT IN MODERN TIMES!!!

Our government is being run by a dictator!

Make sure and report the corruption of local officials and what they did with Federal funds. You have a way of leaving out details to serve your negative narratives in your concocted stories.

We are registering our new tech business in PR to support the Island.

President Donald Trump has turned his back on Puerto Rico. Because his WALL is more important than a Country's lives and Restoration ! He has turned his back on California also !

And I’m outraged that Trump would even consider this

This is bullshit! The funding for the Wall is pocket change to Congress! Bottom line, they’re doing everything to undermine & take down Trump! The Dems DON’T CARE about the safety of AMERICANS!!

TheWarMonitor US military budget 700B cant afford 25B for wall. Take walk money out military budget

He doesn’t care

Think about how much we could really help the people of Puerto Rico If instead of spending 30 billion dollars a year on illegal aliens we can actually give it to the people who matter..That wall will pay for itself and then save us billions of dollars to help

Why does Puerto Rico need a Wall?

Fake news!

They needed more than paper towels?

Combination of a half century of corruption & 2 hurricanes did Puerto Rico in.

Oh Jesus. You people that didn't vote in 2016. What were you thinking?

Sure NBC, while the Democrats are there having a grand old time vacationing, not a word about them doing that and their constituents are left holding the bag cause they don’t want to make a deal with the President. If they weren’t getting paid, they’d settle in 2 hours.

...TRUMP OFFERED..A .. ...'FRAUDULENT' PROMISE TO HIS.. ...BASE... ...'MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL..100%'....'BELIEVE ME'..(D T) ... TRUMP'S FAULT....HE OWNS IT....

ArtistsPo I stagger at feeling sorry for people who vote against themselves....If ONE Latino votes for dump I fail to feel sorry for them

Dems are there now on a junket with lobbyists to see Hamilton. Nothing But Crap

The Puerto Ricans should be outraged that their corrupt and incompetent government has done such a poor job of disaster recovery for the island. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid has been sent.

Trump doesn’t care about Puerto Rico!!!!

Losing ur memory? Your responsible 4 these individuals. Grade? F-

Seems Dems are helping out! Republican leaders slammed Democrats on Sunday following reports that around 30 Democratic members of Congress traveled to Puerto Rico this weekend to meet with lobbyists and see a special performance of the hit Broadway

Well you might try actually passing a vote to be a full fledged state instead of a territory.

So pay Puerto Rico $$ rather than defending our country? Hmmm.....

It’s going to come from the military budget. Stop fomenting.

You have some very rich and powerful Puerto Ricans let them put their money to good use.

They should be outraged that their governor is ripping them off.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Dear world sorry for the corrupted election of the United States of America's fake & evil President. Uneducated clueless people still exist in this country.🆘🆘🆘⚡4 🌎

The electric grid on that island has been shot for decades. When I was there I got the impression from the PR gov that they didn’t want relief, they just wanted money. The locals varied, the millennials wanted to move to the mainland and the elders just wanted to be left alone.

NBC is politically motivated fake news outlet America desperately needs a security wall to protect our families and children

I guess they better tell the Dems to fund the wall.

So let's see. Country that voted NOT to become a US state, then voted Spanish as it's language, that re-elected politicians that couldn't keep the lights on, before the hurricane was BILLIONS in debt, is bit××ing? PR should nation shop for a bigger fool than the US.

Maybe send them the $ we are sending to Central America and Mexico.

Try taking an interest in the local government that failed you. BuildTheWall

Hang in there people, you haven’t been forgotten by the majority. Trump will not be there forever

I frankly tired of the Puerto Rican’s constantly whining. Their country is corrupt. Don’t take my word for it. Google their history for the last 20 or so years. You’ll be outraged! Americans need Border security much more than we need to throw good money after bad. 🙄🙄

Wasn’t the fact, widely reported, that local politicians were either negligent in dispersing the goods and and funds, or outright embezzling same? I distinctly rem reports of PR politicians, redirecting funds and ignoring goods, such as clean water.

So maybe power shouldn't had been run by incompetent government and been a private company

You caused half your problem with a very bad infrastructure to begin with. You also went bankrupt and we bailed you out. Stop crying for something that will protect us. Your money is not tied to this. Just want to make President look bad.

If you're not in a state that he won, then you might as well be the enemy to him.

Our tax dollars have become and enormous SLUSH FUND for corruption in Puerto Rico! Much of which will end up in Democrat Party coffers. BUILD...THE...WALL!!!

Oh well, all the democrats have to do is approve the money.

TheWarMonitor Don’t worry BobMenendezNJ got it covered. governmentshutdown

I’ve been to Puerto Rico, and I can tell you they don’t really like us! Just give us the money,thank you!

I replaced my roof 3x from hurricanes no insurance, 'F*** Them' they got plenty from FEMA I didn't

Nip it in the BUD.. She has to go... Get out of my Country...

And rightfully so.

Incredibly sleazy reporting. The story is bogus from start to finish. There is ZERO consideration being given towards using disaster funds to build a Southern barrier. It's a complete lie.

Fascist Propaganda

Trump has already shown the Citizens of Puerto Rico how he felt before the border wall crisis came up, do you really think he cares anything about your welfare and safety.

Democrats sneak away from funding the wall and reopening the government to have parties with over 100 lobbyist in Puerto Rico

realDonaldTrump should use all the money his family has made while living in the White House. They are still doing secret deals & using their hotels to over charge for rents!! Puttin won't be able to save his Manchurian Candidate!!

'Bounty' the quicker picker upper was the Self Absorbed Orange Mans relief plan Hashtag if you don’t live near a coal mine your screwed during a disaster🧐🍸

Sad that for decades that the corrupt politicians of Puerto Rico , Misused or just outright stole the billions of dollars in aide that they were supposed to use to replace and maintain their electrical grid.

This is a completely bogus story being pushed by gutter 'journalists'. It's simply not true.

OK you are failing to report that the leaders of Puerto Rico were stealing the funds and supplies we have already sent there to help the people

No surprise here he hates us as well.

Puerto Ricans Concerned That $20 Billion Recovery Plan Is 'Not For The People'Puerto Rican officials will have discretion to spend federal reconstruction money as they see fit – from repairing homes to shoring up crumbled roads. But some worry the government's plans will leave local communities behind. Yessss, someone needs to track that spending on island not from D.C. right there, set up an office, delegate a official tracking spending on infrastructute, schools, hospitals, clinics, track that money Their economy was decimated on top of hurricane's destruction. Its very likely the PR gov is choosing projects based on what they perceive will bring in economic benefit long term. Factories and harbors are higher on the list than homes off the beaten path. 'Will have discretion'.. Meaning 'I can what I want with that money' so bribes are welcomed if you want anything done..
