San Juan mayor "Trump is taking out his anger on Puerto Rico"
Asked on CNN last night whether she believed Trump has handled the response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico differently than he handled hurricanes in Florida and Texas, San Juan Mayor Yulin Cruz said he "most definitely" had. "He's treating Puerto Rico different than the U.S. treated Haiti," Cruz said. "For some reason, he's taking all of his anger out on Puerto Rico."
With due respect to the mayor, I don’t think Trump is taking all his anger out on Puerto Rico. He’s taking some of his anger out on people who are sick or have pre-existing health conditions.
He’s taking some of his anger out on young people who immigrated to America as infants and toddlers.
He’s taking some of his anger out on African-American athletes who are protesting police violence and racism.
He’s taking some of his anger out on women who need contraceptives or college women who don’t want to be sexually harassed.
He’s taking some of his anger out on children fleeing violence in Central America and on refugees fleeing violence in the Middle East.
He’s taking some of his anger out on the poor, who won’t get the services they need because his plans to give huge tax breaks to the rich and to expand the military will use up the federal budget.
He’s taking some of his anger out on people who criticize him, including journalists, judges, and even some senior Republicans in Congress.
Trump seems to possess an endless amount of anger. Puerto Rico is just one of the recipients.
