What kind of a monster could look at the hellish nightmare of suffering and death in Puerto Rico and call it “a good news story.”
Trump’s acting head of Homeland Security did.
The mayor of San Juan responded as anyone with a beating heart would: “This is a ‘people are dying’ story. This is a ‘life or death’ story. This is ‘there’s a truckload of stuff that cannot be taken to people’ story. This is a story of a devastation that continues to worsen…. When you have people dying, literally, where is the good news?”
Donald Trump shamelessly lashed back. No, worse. While TV news shows heartbreaking misery and suffering, people demanding “HELP! Now!” when there is no help in sight… Trump doubled down. He attacked the mayor, and bragged that in overseeing this needless death and suffering, his regime was doing a “fantastic job.”
This is a white supremacist regime with a serious genocidal edge that no human being with a beating heart, can tolerate.
What do we need to do? Today: Into the streets to demand people in Puerto Rico get food, water, medicine, power NOW! And get ready to begin, on November 4, continuing day after day, night after night, to take to the streets until our DEMAND is met: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
