'Crazed and incompetent': Trump hits out at Puerto Rican leaders after disaster bill fails
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the 2019 Prison Reform Summit and First Step Act celebration in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S, on Monday, April 1, 2019. Trump formally signed the First Step Act into law on December 21, 2018.
On Monday, Democratic leaders balked at the $600 million for Puerto Rican food stamps in the $13.45 billion package, arguing it wasn’t enough. But Republicans refused to back a Democratic House bill that failed to account for the historic Midwestern flooding, as it passed before that catastrophe. Democrats have said they support paying for flood relief and attempted Monday to amend their House bill with that money, a move the GOP blocked.
Pres Trump continues to embarrass himself & the Office he holds. He is unhinged & thus lies about the $ received by PR. HE KNOWS HIS RESPONSE was innefficient at best. He can huff & puff all he wants but he cannot escape the death of 3,000 on his watch. SHAME ON YOU! 1/2 https://t.co/snGmda1CNN
