He has evidence, but since when has that mattered to these neanderthals?

Then he needs to present it and shut up all these news outlets who are saying he's just being vindictive.

How do they know he has no evidence? I’m thinking that learning that food was left to rot in warehouses, bottles of water sitting in parking lot, an entire island of deadbeats and welfare recipients(many of whom now live in Florida, BTW, and have no intention of ever going back.

Hopefully, the FBI and DOJ will do their job and perp walk that nasty mayor and others onto a plane and into a courtroom.

Be nice if some industrious folks moved onto the island and turned it around, since so many residents are now calling the mainland home and have no intention of ever going back. Be nice to see the island live up to its full potential. Of course, once it’s turned into a money-making tourist destination, they’ll all want to go back and claim their birthright and steal all the money.

Should have let them claim their independence and become their own country a long, long time ago.

It’s easy to use disaster relief funds to pay down debt without using disaster relief funds. You simply use disaster relief funds to cover normal budget items like welfare, police protection, etc, then use money normally spent for that to pay off debt. And if you’re like any good third world dictator, you siphon off some to secret accounts to pay off everyone involved.

Behind the scenes: In late October, Trump grew furious after reading a Wall Street Journal article by Matt Wirz...

Hold it. We were told by the MSM that Trump doesn't read.

“I am so tired of this new trite phrase from the MSM.”

Me too. Because the evidence eventually seems to arrive later for Trump.

For example, Trump said (”without evidence”) that his campaign was being spied upon by the federal government...then later came the evidence. What happened to the reporting? Without evidence they write the it really wasn’t spying...this was so serious that the government had an “informant” b/c a presidential candidate had a Russian spy in his ranks and Trump could not be let in on this. This is not journalism, these people are not the 4th estate, they are part of the swamp.

I’ve read several articles that uses the words without evidence regarding conservatives as of late. I stop reading the rest of it when I come to that because it shows me it’s going downhill so why bother the old blood pressure.

What do they need statehood for? Eight hundred thousand PR's migrated to Florida this past year, double-dipping on public assistance and choking up schools, neighborhoods, hospitals and emergency rooms with their kids. On the streets of Florida you now have vehicles with Puerto Rican license plates.

They are all at The Home Depot and Lowe's, needing English/Spanish translators so they can buy the most expensive cordless power tools (the only kind they buy because power grid on the island is unreliable) to ship back to family there. They have UNLIMITED funds, thanks to the U.S. taxpayer.

The women have bleached and bottle-blonded their hair to make them look like North American WASPS. The men wear gold around their necks thick as bicycle chains. Arrogant, disgusting grifters all.

Why are disaster relief funds going through the local governments and not through FEMA or other federal agencies?

I doubt Trump would do this without evidence, but that’s what the corporate media wants people to believe. They’ve been pushing this ‘without evidence’ stuff for awhile. The democrat party is totally in bed with them. They want to make it a crime to not believe their propaganda.

Yeah, like evidence has anything to do with what lies they tell on a daily basis.

Very doubtful Trump makes decisions like this “without evidence” as article states. Thus, more fake news Bullshit from the totally unreliable MSM.

“without evidence”

That phrase always seems to pop up when Trump claims something that makes DemocRats look bad.

You NEVER, EVER saw those words when Obongo was president.

All of the other islands that were affected are restored. What is the problem with PR?

I think you’ve got a lot of diversion down there. Something is going on.

IMO < some areas recovered a lot better than others. The lady mayor I addressed refused to go through the steps to get things routed to her people.

She hasn’t shut up about the result of that yet.
