Congress committed 91 B$ is Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. P. Trump blocked it. In the 1st 18 month after Maria, 1.5 B$ slipped through to FEMA. Now Trump sends another 13 B$. Total 15% of committed $. That's like leaving a tip without paying the bill.
This is what Trump thinks will win him Puerto Rican votes Problem: 1. Its criminally late 2. Mercilessly little 3. Puerto Ricans cannot vote for President.

Abolish FEMA. #1 Nat'l Security threat is Climate Collapse. Replace corrupt FEMA with National Guard Re-train & re-equip Guard, active military to address actual National Security threats Guarding poppy fields of our momentary 'allies' in Afghanistan is counter-productive
