Trump whines that American hurricane victims don't deserve help

By

At a closed-door lunch on Tuesday, Trump complained about how much aid Puerto Rico has received after Hurricane Maria.

Trump's irrational loathing for Puerto Rico knows no bounds, and he continues to work to stop the island from getting meaningful aid.

When Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico over 18 months ago, it decimated critical infrastructure, leaving it without power or needed supplies for months.

Over 3,000 people died in the hurricane's aftermath, in no small part thanks to the fact that the Trump administration's response was abysmal.

But that hasn't stopped Trump from boasting about what a success his administration's response had been.

Donald Trump says he received a $17 million insurance payment in 2005 for hurricane damage to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach. But The Associated Press has found little evidence of such large-scale damage. Two years after a series of storms, the real estate tycoon said he didn’t know how much had been spent on repairs, but acknowledged he pocketed some of the money. He transferred funds into his personal accounts, saying that under the terms of his policy “you didn’t have to reinvest it.”
