He has been quoted as hating and even dispising Puerto Ricans, according to those who worked alongside him. Omarosa reportedly says Trump used'a derogatory term for Puerto Ricans. "His total lack of empathy is bad enough, but I believe many of the problems and delays with getting aid ... were partly political," she says in "Unhinged."
Trump’s contempt for Puerto Rico is well known. He has mocked the survivors, made fun of their accents, completely lied about relief efforts, and back in March said he didn’t want “ another single dollar going to the island.” To Trump, Puerto Ricans were sea Mexicans.
Why do think @POTUS @GOP @realDonaldTrump is now offering the island of Puerto Rico $13 billion in additional aid for repairs three years AFTER the devastating Hurricane Maria? Is he trying to buy votes from Puerto Ricans who moved to Florida after the storm?
