trump refuses to release aid!

Maybe Puerto Rico should allow him to throw more ‘Paper Towels at them’?
I can see why (Corruption is a concern on his), I use this term lightly, mind, because this administration is an expert in “corruption” and “financial mismanagement”!

The trump administration is refusing to release all available disaster aid to Puerto Rico despite this week’s earthquakes, citing concerns about “corruption” and “financial mismanagement” on the island, the Daily News has learned.
trump’s 'Department of Housing and Urban Development' was supposed to start disbursing $9.7 billion in aid to Puerto Rico in September as part of a congressional allocation to beef up natural disaster readiness following the devastating hurricanes that battered the island in 2017 and killed nearly 3,000 people.
Congressional Democrats were outraged and said the trump administration is breaking the law by withholding the congressionally approved money.
"The ongoing withholding of funds appropriated by Congress to Puerto Rico is illegal,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters at a Thursday press conference.
