In times of need, we see how we show up. President Trump has surprised few by talking a big game, playing two separate golf trips, taking credit for FEMA just as he was planning to gut and cut it…all while doing little—particularly if those in need are brown and “away.” ~ ed.

“Mr. Trump lashed out at Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of the Puerto Rican capital, in a series of tweets on Saturday morning, one day after she appeared on television and described in stark terms the dire conditions on the island. The president accused Ms. Cruz of “poor leadership” and implied that Puerto Ricans were relying too heavily on the federal government, adding that they “want everything to be done for them.”

Ms. Cruz responded to Mr. Trump’s comments in an interview on MSNBC, saying: “I was asking for help. I wasn’t saying anything nasty about the president.”

She added: “This is a time when everyone shows their true colors. I have no time for distractions. All I have is time for people to move forward, get help.”
