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.
