Donald Trump says that San Juan mayor who criticized FEMA response has "come back a long way," though there is no evidence that she has changed her position. Update!

Courtesy of Politico:  

The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, has “come back a long way,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday morning of the official he strongly criticized as he departed the White House en route to the hurricane-ravaged island. 

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz was outspoken last week in her pleas for more support from the federal government, criticizing the rosy recovery picture painted by acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke and appealing directly to the president in an interview on CNN. 

While she expressed gratitude for Trump’s help and did not attack him directly, her words were enough to prompt the president into a Twitter spree in which he said the mayor had shown “such poor leadership ability.” At the outset of his Tuesday morning Trip to the island, Trump suggested Cruz had begun to come around. 

“Well, I think she's come back a long way. And you know, I think it's now acknowledged what a great job we've done and people are looking at that,” the president told reporters before boarding Marine One on the White House’s south lawn. “whether it's her or anybody else, they're all starting to say it. I appreciate very much the governor and his comments. He has said we have done an incredible job and that's the truth.” 

Trump did not refer to any specific comments from Cruz that indicated she had “come back” from her criticism of the federal response.

As the article states there is no evidence that Cruz has changed her mind about the US response to the devastation in Puerto Rico.

In fact she tweeted this out just today.
Does not sound as if she came back from anywhere to me.

As for his suggestion that "it's now acknowledged what a great job we've done."

Nope.

Courtesy of CNN:  

Oxfam, a global organization working to end poverty, is criticizing the United States government's response to the crisis in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. 

The group specifically criticized President Donald Trump's administration. 

"Oxfam has monitored the response in Puerto Rico closely, and we are outraged at the slow and inadequate response the US government has mounted in Puerto Rico," Oxfam America President Abby Maxman said in a statement. "Clean water, food, fuel, electricity, and health care are in desperately short supply and quickly dwindling, and we're hearing excuses and criticism from the administration instead of a cohesive and compassionate response." 

The group rarely criticizes government strategies in crises affecting wealthy nations such as the US. 

"The US has more than enough resources to mobilize an emergency response but has failed to do so in a swift and robust manner," Maxman said.

Yeah, that sounds like the opposite of what Trump is saying.

It's almost like he was pushing, what's that called again, oh yeah, fake news.

Update: Trump is currently in Puerto Rico apparently only visiting with the mayors and local politicians who agree to kiss his ring and thank him for deigning to bless them with his presence..
If this were Obama he would have sought out the people who were critical and heard them out so he could learn how to have his team respond better in the future.

But not Trump, he just wants to talk to people who will blow sunshine up his ass.

Update 2: Here is Trump congratulating Puerto Rico for not having TOO many people die, and bitching about the fact that helping them threw the budget "out of whack."
Such a humanitarian.

    Donald says FEMA has brought in so much water that he saw people washing their cars with it and filling their swimming pools. He even saw a golf course being watered with FEMA water.

    FEMA meals were so plentiful the locals were feeding them to chupacabras.

    Trump said Puerto Rico has never had it so good.

    Trump Insults Puerto Rico By Telling Them That Their Devastation Isn’t A Real Catastrophe

    “Every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous — hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here, with really a storm that was just totally overpowering, nobody’s ever seen anything like this. What is your death count as of this moment? 17? 16 people certified, 16 people versus in the thousands.”

    To recap, Trump has gone to Puerto Rico to tell them that he is doing a great job, yell at Puerto Ricans for throwing his budget out of whack by getting hit with two massive hurricanes and that their devastation is not a real disaster.

    Donald Trump’s attacks are a poisonous mixture of past resentments and racial hate

    ...But once San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz declared, “We are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy,” Trump went on the attack once more, declaring that she had “poor leadership ability” and is being manipulated by Democrats. Puerto Rican officials, Trump tweeted, “want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”

    Damn, there goes that dog whistle again. People of color raising their voices in protest make our loutish emperor mad and antsy. He puts the petty in petty tyrant. Time to call foul and throw him out of the game.

    Republican pessimism has doubled in Trump’s presidency

    It's not such a grand old party, after all.

    Republicans are increasingly pessimistic about their political future in light of some recent missteps by President Donald Trump, with 39 percent of Republicans now worried about the GOP, a new poll shows.

    That's up nearly 20 percent since Trump assumed the nation's highest office.

    The Pew Research Center poll released on Tuesday was taken in late September, amid controversy surrounding Trump with his NFL battle and global criticism of his alleged inaction in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.

    The decline in optimism was reported across most Republican subgroups, especially college-educated Republicans, whose optimism dropped by nearly 30 percent in the first months of the Trump presidency. Notably, Republicans without a college degree—the majority of Trump's base—are optimistic about the future of the party, and overall, still carry the majority viewpoint for Republicans.

    Bizarre Puerto Rico visit. Oh, and Trump didn’t even go to the Virgin islands, like he’d been saying he would for two weeks or more now—he made the VI governor fly to PR to meet him (and said he couldn’t go to the VI b/c of logistics somehow).


    First off, the temp there in Puerto Rico was 86 and the humidity 71%. As usual, Trump wore a jacket and it was zipped up. He has those rolls of sweaty fat to keep covered.


    He did so so much to diss the San Juan mayor. He did his usual table arrangement praise session. The tables created a long rectangle. At his end 4 people sat: him, Melanus, the gov of PR, and on Mel's side I’m unsure (I’d guess either the gov's wife or some representative). On the long sides of the rectangle there were many more seats than at the short ends. Far away at the other end of the rectangle, but not on the other short end of 4, so not facing him but set off on a diagonal to the side in an invisible/powerless looking position, was the mayor of SJ. we couldn’t see her face. Trump said absolutely nothing—not a word of acknowledgement--to her or about her and she did not speak (others were invited to speak). He did shake her hand before everyone sat down b/c he had to, and as he was greeting others. He said how are you and she said something like fine and added that it was never political for her, and he ignored her and walked away and smiled at everyone else and kept talking. Then he sat down and praised the gov (a conservative—and wants PR to become a US state, unlike the SJ mayor) and a rep (another pro-state person) and he said how this woman had a big job caring for 3.5 million people (a clear diss of the mayor of the capital city) and he told everyone how she had praised him and his people and he asked her to repeat some of her praise (how embarrassing) and she started saying how great FEMA had been. Then he went around pointing to the various U.S. military branches and saying what a great job they and FEMA had done. He said inane unrelated things, like talking about how great the F35 is and how it’s undetectable during war and that he’d brought down the price.


    (He was gross sitting there with his legs wide open under the table. So gross.)


    He started talking about Puerto Rico then and said that PR had thrown our budget out of whack (his words) and immediately then compared this hurricane to Katrina, and the message he was sending was that Katrina was far worse b/c so many people died (I looked the # up and it’s 1833) and he was saying “thousands and thousands” and saying that hardly anyone in PR had died—so it was nowhere near being a “catastrophe.” That, the death count (and PR’s real death count is unknown right now—who knows who’s dead and who will get sick and die from diseases), was his one piece of info for comparison and he was getting into trouble with this stupid comparison, and so then he made sure he shifted out of that and turned the talk about how PR was breaking our budget and the hurricane was nothing compared to Katrina to saying what a great job had been done in keeping people alive in PR. It was horrible. And he never said a word about what PR was going through, and never showed any sympathy. Then there was a bit of a ruckus sound-wise and it turned out that someone on the sidelines (there were people on three sides of the tables’ rectangle surrounding the seats) behind the SJ mayor wanted to make a comment and he did not like having his planned praise session thrown off. He got defensive but said the person could go ahead and talk. It was, he said, someone from customs. But then suddenly all the cameras were made to shift to outdoors and we never saw what happened next. Trump could feel that things were now about to get a little heated and he shut things down—that was so obvious. Then the networks’ anchors and guests started talking about how Trump had done everything he could to diss the mayor and it was appalling. Then things went back to covering Las Vegas.

    (Second part in next post.)

    (Second post.)


    Then, after the praise session, Trump's group immediately left San Juan for a town called Guaynabo. On TV they showed the visit. Standing in a neighborhood, he had the gov and some PR reps and mayor of Guaynabo (who has harshly criticized the San Juan mayor) with him and was praising them. He referred to both a gov and mayor when he made a complimentary comment. Some news s thought that Trump's comment that the gov and mayor had been doing a great job referred to the SJ major, but to me it looked like he was praising the Guaynabo mayor (I feel certain, actually). But even if he meant the SJ mayor, he just threw that one positive comment in so that he didn’t look 100% vindictive and petty. He got out of SJ—that is, to Guaynabo--ASAP and wanted no input from her. In fact, yesterday there was a group phone call meeting and she was invited BUT was muted and told she could only listen, not speak at all.


    After this town visit outside of SJ, the networks were wondering where else he'd be going. That is, after he then walked over to a church (groan). The networks wondered b/c he’d only been in the airport hangar and then in an area with all cement homes and so the neighborhood was intact. The residents said they'd been without power since Irma, not Maria, but that is all. And the neighborhood didn’t look ravaged. God, in the church, like Gryph says, he actually threw out rolls of paper towels and acted like he was the same Steph Curry he enjoys trashing. He looked like a fool. He acted like tossing out paper towels was like tossing out paper money. Here's the link I watched:


    https://www.theroot.com/look-at-this-trash-human-throwing-paper-towels-into-the-1819111460


    Today has been just about Trump wanting praise and it's all been very carefully planned out. Trump’s just been doing photo ops and keeping all objections at bay. He's been saying the most inane things and acting like this is just another camera moment like he always does. He actually casually told one resident in the street to "have a good time" as he shook hands with the guy and then turned away. Groan. Right after this, Katy Tur did a great job looking at the bizarre details of Trump's PR visit and comments, and so did CNN. The online articles since then have described what a sad joke Trump’s visit has been.

    Thanks to Mayor Cruz the disaster relief and aid from the military has increased and a General appointed in charge. For that she and citizens got beaten down with malicious assignations by Trump who again tweeted from the comfort of his New Jersey golf resort. The prior weekend he beat down black athletes from his golf palace protected by Secret Service.

      I checked the temp in San Juan the minute the Trumps got off the plane. It was 86 degrees and the humidity was 71%. She wore a blouse with its sleeves rolled up with every other visit. Today she wore that light second layer because she had on both a white top and pants--it was all about adding some color. Well, and someone may have pointed out to Trump that he looks like an idiot wearing a zipped jacket no matter how hot it is.

    In an interview with the women of “The View,” comedian, actor and author Russell Brand revealed the source of his online feud with Donald Trump.

    Trump came out of nowhere and began attacking brand on Twitter back in 2014. The world marveled at where it was all coming from. “What the hell do people see in Russell—a major loser!” Trump tweeted.

    “Whatever happened to that guy,” Brand joked. “He’s gone so quiet since then.”

    Still, even co-host Joy Behar couldn’t help but ask, “why you?”

    “What happened is I met him,” Brand began. “Problems ensued.”

    But Brand explained that the source was an interview he’d done with Trump for a documentary. “Brand: A Second Coming” was an exploration of drugs, sex, fame and the search for happiness.

    “As he was talking, I kept thinking, ‘How are we in this big tower this man owns when he’s evidently so stupid,” Brand said. “I kept trying to understand it. Now, I don’t like to be unkind to people so I already feel bad about saying that. *But obviously this man practices very much in cruelty, doesn’t he? It’s like his language.”*

    He went on to say that he was trying to understand it and comprehend it so that he could do jokes about it as a stand-up comedian.

    “He heard that I’d said these jokes and some of them were quite cheap,” Brand admitted. “Like his hair looks like the ghost of Shredded Wheat. Not even Shredded Wheat that is alive now, but straight from the ethereal realm. I criticized him and I suppose what he’s an emblem of; an economic model of economic inequality and privilege, and now using that privilege to further disempower people to speak cruelty from the office of the president.”

      I would like to hear more about that. The last thing most people want to do is support our enemies.

    "For 11 days Trump has let Puerto Rico wallow in hell, its people -- Americans -- suffering and dying. Make me Commander-In-Chief for one week and here's what I'll do to save our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico:
    1. Send the ENTIRE Army Corps of Engineers IMMEDIATELY to Puerto Rico.They can rebuild infrastructure and restore electricity and cell service.
    2. Send aircraft carriers loaded with helicopters to Puerto Rico. They can easily airlift water, food & medicine to every part of the island.
    3. Fly Air Force cargo planes, criss-crossing over the island, and parachute-drop supplies everywhere to the people.
    4. Send in the 82nd Airborne! They can do anything and everything!
    5. Send in all Army truck drivers to get those trucks full of supplies that are now sitting on the docks moving out to the people.
    6. Send in the Marines! Amphibious landings can easily happen all over the island. They can bring generators and other needed materials.
    7. Tell all of the airlines they must contribute hundreds of free flights for all Puerto Ricans who want to come and stay with relatives and friends in the mainland US.
    8. Send a dozen massive tanker ships filled with gasoline and other needed fuels.
    9. As a US territory, and for the safety and protection of the Puerto Rican people, all rebuilding must be done by following the same building codes that contractors have to follow on the mainland.
    10. When the immediate crisis has been resolved, Congress must respect the wishes of over 60% of the Puerto Rican people and make PR a state. And do the same for DC and the Virgin Islands (which also need the same military aid & response right now)!
    Trillions of our tax dollars are ripped from us and sent to the Pentagon. For what? So much wrong has been done in our name. Finally, here's a chance to use the military to truly save American lives and protect American citizens. If I were in charge, that is what I would do."
