How much does a racist, malignant narcissist value the 3 million Americans who populate Puerto Rico? Many of them, mind you, have brown skins and are not of German descent.
The island territory has been more or less without water, food and electricity for a week. Most of the hospitals are closed. If you need dialysis, god help you. Aid is slow to arrive in part because of a law that forbids foreign ships from bringing it. Trump waived that law for the whiter parts of Texas but has not done so for Puerto Rico, because, he said, the American shipping industry doesn’t want him to. Meanwhile he’s still tweeting about the NFL, where Trump interprets demonstrations against police brutality as disrespect for American values. On that last point he may be right, if American values include the right to shoot down unarmed black teenagers.
I’m assuming that the people around our minority President will become sufficiently shamed by the suffering in Puerto Rico to push the Narcissist into allowing foreign rescue ships to dock. I don’t know what else to add. Trump’s public posture on the shipping industry is madness. He should be confined before he kills. Or is it too late?
