Puerto Rico is an "inaccessible island"? Are you Vasco da Gama?

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
We got A Pluses for our recent hurricane work in Texas and Florida (and did an unappreciated great job in Puerto Rico, even though an inaccessible island with very poor electricity and a totally incompetent Mayor of San Juan). We are ready for the big one that is coming!

2. Obviously...not.

LMAO

3. I went there on a cruise ship at 14.

Not inaccessible in the least.

[malaise]

5. Please remember he did not know where PR is located

He said it was in the Atlantic - it's North Coast is in the Atlantic.

6. We learned about Vasco da Gama in the sixth grade

Presumably, so did Trump. But he probably forgot about it three days later. After all, who is more important, a man who helped discover and map the world or the man who tried to buy it?

13. I did, too. I went to elementary school in the 50s.

By 6th grade we'd learned about Prince Henry the Navigator, Magellan, Cortes, DeSoto, Pizarro, Marquette & Jolliet, Ponce de Leon, Sir Francis Drake, and a host of others.

12. The president of the United States

With access to ships, planes, helicopters, submarines, and anything else motorized in the entire world, could not help Puerto Rico. Incredible.

Seems to me the only thing he couldn’t find was money, which he seems to to think all belongs to him.

14. "Get your towel dispensers ready! Our help is on the way!"

15. Looking at that photo and remembering seeing that on television still makes me so

angry I could spit nails! The way he was so cavalier in the face of the tragedy and suffering of the people of Puerto Rico.

And of course, he couldn't resist the opportunity to get a dig in at the brown, female mayor of San Juan. He makes me absolutely SICK!

I hate him with a passion!
