Our media and Government has been mostly silent on this unfortunately... I guess we're just going to pretend these people don't matter.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz: "What is staggering is that the Trump administration has completely looked away"
The last time @realdonaldtrump tweeted about the Puerto Rico recovery effort was Oct. 19, 2017. A week after this...

Puerto Ricans who reside on the island do not have the right to vote in the presidential election. No votes with which to be concerned, if you're a Republican.
Had Hurricane Maria leveled the same amount of damage in Alabama or Mississippi. . .well, you get my point.

Plus Rubio won the Republican primary in PR in 2016 ((Any US citizen (including Puerto Ricans) living in PR can vote in the federal PR primaries, not in general elections. If that Puerto Rican moves stateside, then he/she immediately can vote in that state and the general elections just like any other US citizen of that state))... you get my point.

"These are American citizens. These are our brothers and sisters, and they're dying down there Joe."
“that the president can tweet endlessly about Russia and the Eagles, but not conjure up a single thought about Puerto Rico is frankly disgraceful”

There's a direct line between how this Administration treats kids at the border and how they treated our American brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico...

More than 7,000 bodies were cremated in Puerto Rico from the day Hurricane Maria made landfall last September until early June — most before they could be examined to determine if they were victims of the storm The Bodies Of Thousands Of Potential Hurricane Victims Have Been Burned In Puerto Rico Identifying deaths related to the hurricane could provide families with access to FEMA funeral funds and could also change what insurance benefits a family gets. www.buzzfeed.com/nidhiprakash/puerto-rico-hurricane-deaths-cremations?bftwnews&utm_term=.fgd7dvA2v#.jx5oNmBJm

The same program for those displaced by Hurricanes Katrina & Rita was extended to 26 months.
PR victims have only been given 9 months.
Amazing how a tragedy of this magnitude, aided by Government incompetence, is not even discussed anymore....

Trump understands that a chaos Presidency stretches the resources as well as time and attention span of not only the press but also the American public. There is just too much incompetence and corruption to cover all at once to maintain focus.

I really hope this POTUS desperately needs assistance from some normal, moral people that have been abandoned by him (hopefully that voted for him as well if I'm going for the full-on daydream) and they pay him back in kind for his multiple, heinous failures.

They deserve to be remembered so this never happens again, not glossed over by the next controversy.. Majority of those deaths are the result of Government incompetence..
