Whispering

TRUMP:

"...the response and recovery effort probably has never been seen for something like this"

"This is an island. Surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water."

 

 

Under President Barack Obama, the United States mobilized quickly to respond to the horrific earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010. The Washington Post noted that the American response was massive and rapid:

Before dawn the next morning, an Army unit was airborne, on its way to seize control of the main airport in Port-au-Prince. Within two days, the Pentagon had 8,000 American troops en route. Within two weeks, 33 U.S. military ships and 22,000 troops had arrived. More than 300 military helicopters buzzed overhead, delivering millions of pounds of food and water.

Like Puerto Rico, Haiti is also “an island surrounded by big water, ocean water.” And even more damning to Trump’s excuse-making, the citizens of Puerto Rico are American citizens who aren’t being helped in the speed and scale that they deserve.

Neither “big water” nor “ocean water” are to blame for Donald Trump’s failure to lead.
