It’s tragic that it has taken egomaniacal idiocy and lies from Donald Trump to put Puerto Rico back in the headlines — only a week away from the anniversary of Hurricane Maria slamming into the island. The mainstream media, which also fell down on its job as Trump and FEMA got away with murder during Maria’s aftermath — is finally calling him on the carpet.
This blatantly dishonest blather from the Buffoon-in-Chief has stirred up a shitstorm that is not named Florence.
Update: He is now tweeting death toll denial (hat tip to DiesIrae who just saw this)

A week ago — I could barely scrounge up a handful of Puerto Rico stories and headlines for my daily Puerto Rico Twitter Roundup.
Today — I found a lot to share:
See Dartagnan’s diary about this:
Trump's FEMA throws 1000 sick and elderly Puerto Rican hurricane victims into the streets
