He messed up and said it was all for the hurricane.
PR's GDP has risen a whopping $3B since 2012. By comparison Kentucky has gone up by like $8B.
PR gets $21B fucking dollars PER YEAR in welfare alone. That doesn't include S.S. or medicare. Over 21% of people of all ages in PR are on S.S. which means they likely are on medicare too. So between all that, and the 11 - 30 some billion I've seen is the real number they certainly did get what Trump said or close to it.
If it wasn't for the fact that the land is our instead of a potential enemy that could do an airstrike in minutes, we would sell that pile of shit to the lowest bidder. Complete waste of our tax dollars.

so you're saying he lied
ok fine, he does that every day so nothing new there right
Shit, just today he said (for some bizarre reason) that his father was born in Germany
where did pull the rest of those number you cited in your post or did you just make them up
21 billion in welfare plus the ~ 11 billion in disaster relief still doesn't add up to 91 billion
Also, Puerto Rico is part of the United States (I assume you know that but it's not at all clear that Trumptard knows this)
-
The 91B remark is the total expected 41B allocated already and 50B over the next 10 years.

I found it in less than 2 minutes with google earlier today when I saw the story on yahoo.
What percent of the population of puerto rico is on welfare? What is the GDP of PR? What is the GDP of Kentucky? What percent of the population of PR is on social security?
I didn't google further for the SS $ figures. The average ss disability payment is $1234, and at 21.4% of all ages of people in PR being on SS that means 683,730 people collect that $1234 every month. 1234 x 12 = $14,808 x 683,730 people....... :o So now that made me googlie goo...https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/oasdi_sc/2017/pr.html#table5
Total payments stated in the thousands.......710,441 :o :o :o
Complete waste of our financial resources to a place that offers us jack shit. Need to put it up for a fire sale except we keep military presence and sites.
How dare those fuckers lash out at our POTUS demanding more. They should have been able to rebuild that entire piece of shit island with just the $11 billion

I forgot to mention that while you're sticking up for Puerto Reekans, and their hostile accusations that Trump doesn't give them enough/they deserve more, keep in mind.......
Reekans pay ZERO federal taxes!

Only 21% on SS disability? I figured just being Puerto Rican made you disabled.

LOL!!!
Actually, that figure was at least a couple years old and it was 21.4 to be exact. I'm sure it climbs every year as they've become experts at working the system.
Again, the s.s dollars and figures are completely separate from the welfare statistics. Someone would have to compile it all to show the true picture of how big of a drain on the U.S. that shitty island and those people are in exchange for NOTHING.

Lol you are a fucking moron. Twitter has a 280 character limit for tweets. I checked Trump's first Puerto Rico tweet and it is exactly 280 characters. That is why the second tweet is connected to the first one. He needed more characters to complete his thoughts. You cannot read them in isolation. You only posted the first tweet. You should have posted both tweets, typical leftist tactic of distorting the truth.
Is this real life? How can someone be wrong all the time Strawcuck? You are just never right. What the fuck happened in your life that made you such a loser? We need details about your ethnicity, height, weight and age so we can evaluate what's going on with you.

No you didn't. It's not another tweet. It's one tweet. You knew the dots at the end mean the tweet is not yet complete and the rest is to follow, hence the dots at the beginning of the rest of the tweet.
But you conveniently left it out because you lie. That's what you do. But hey, at least you're a polite, cool headed heterosexual.

This still means they would get $91 billion. It might end up being more. A lot can change in 20 years. Remember how they grossly underestimated the cost of the Iraq war? So Trump is correct Puerto Rico got $91 billion.
To use an analogy for you: Let's say your salary per year is $100,000. Do you get all that money upfront? No you don't. But you are still getting $100,000 if you perform your job. If someone asks you how much you make you say I am making $100,000 per year don't you?
Douche bag!
The Facts
Getting a full picture on federal government spending for Puerto Rico so far is difficult because it’s spread across different agencies and spending bills. But here’s the best possible estimate we received, as of March 27, after communications with officials in different agencies.
Federal Emergency Management Agency: $15 billion obligated ($9.9 billion in outlays)
Army Corps of Engineers: $2.5 billion approved ($3 million in outlays)
Community Development Block Grants-Disaster Recovery (Housing and Urban Development): $20 billion approved, of which $1.5 billion has been obligated
Small Business Administration: $1.95 billion for homes/business loans obligated ($1.1 billion in outlays)
Education Department: $710 million obligated ($28 million in outlays)
FEMA community disaster loans: $294 million obligated ($128 million in outlays)
Various other agencies: $266 million approved (lesser amounts in outlays)
That adds up to nearly $41 billion in announced funding. But notice words like “obligated” and “outlays”?
Here’s an explanation:
Outlays = money has been delivered
Obligated = spending has been identified but money not delivered
Approved = A budget allocation has been made, but money has not been obligated or disbursed.
About half of the money scheduled for Puerto Rico comes from the HUD grants. But virtually none of that funding has been spent yet. HUD in July said it had approved spending $1.5 billion but the funds had not been drawn down yet, according to a Government Accountability Office report released this month. About 50 percent has been earmarked for home repair and reconstruction.
A HUD official said Puerto Rico has the $1.5 billion in hand, but has spent just $42,000. “It should take Puerto Rico approximately two to three years to spend the $1.5 billion,” the official said. “Following Superstorm Sandy, the state of New Jersey disbursed $1 billion over the course of two years.”
Another $8.2 billion of the $20 billion HUD allocation was approved in February but not yet delivered. That still leaves about half of the $20 billion untouched.
In other words, depending on how you do the math, only about a quarter of the total pot of money has actually been spent on the island — $11.2 billion.
So how does Trump come up with $91 billion?
Officials told The Fact Checker that the president was referring to an internal Office of Management and Budget estimate of the potential liabilities over the life of the disaster that would need to be committed under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988. The estimate was described as a high-end estimate subject to change year by year.
Currently, the estimated Stafford liabilities amount to $50 billion. Adding the $41 billion in announced funding to the $50 billion in Stafford liabilities gets you to $91 billion.
Notice that we said the additional $50 billion was “over the life of a disaster.” That means it’s a long-term figure, beyond the traditional 10-year budget horizon. Indeed, one congressional aide estimated that Stafford payments will continue for 20 years in Puerto Rico. The government is still paying for the damage from Hurricane Katrina almost 14 years after it struck New Orleans.
Texas has been allocated $25 billion, but its estimated Stafford liabilities are much smaller -- just $4 billion, according to the OMB estimate. Together, that adds up to $29 billion.
What apparently caught Trump’s attention was the relative scale — with the estimated long-term cost of Puerto Rican repairs potentially three times larger than the cost of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

great, where did you get this info and why do you think Trump felt the need to lie about it?
I think it was one of those political fact check sites and it's not wrong, Puerto Rico will get 91B. Bigger question is would that be considered foreign aid since they don't pay the same federal taxes you and I do?

This still means they would get $91 billion.

assumptions ?
so your charge of racism is based on what you think I'm thinking?
I never said you were uneducated. I have called you fucking moron but that has nothing to do with race...but of course since you're a moron you probably won't be able to understand that.
Why don't you drop the victim/bitch act and get back to being our resident alien (hopefully legal) Trump loving dipshit
Back to the fact that you're a moron...I didn't "leave out" Trumps tweet. I asked what was wrong with the tweet that I posted. The tweet that follows doesn't explain his lie in the first tweet.

Nationalist and racist are two different things.
When he says mexicans coming into our country are rapists, murderers, drug traffickers, etc. that is a slam on people from the countries trying to/succeeding at getting in, not on hispanic americans.
He hasn't said shit about blacks that's racist, and he could call people from the middle east crazed filthy muzzies with repressed homo feelings that suck the blade of their sword after beheading gays and I wouldn't care because he's telling the truth.
Are you guys really this easily riled up, and upset by people's words in real life? The dude is just being funny, and/or speaking in extremes to get his point across. I don't find it a big deal at all. I'd rather have someone be blunt and upfront than a polish pile of shit like Obama that comes across as a human, but once the cameras are off he is the devil.

You're talking about the United States of America dipshit
I guess that's confusing to you since you're not actually from the USA and are just an average Venezuelan (or however it is you referred to yourself)
Parts of San Francisco, LA, Chicago, and NY are all third world shit holes too. You think shitholes can't exist in America? You think any amount of money we give people who settle for living like that will fix them or those towns? It would take 50 years to get those places just to where the average mixed race American suburb is today. You can't help those who don't help themselves Straw.

I'm just not even bothering with him anymore. He makes no fucking sense, and doesn't have any desire to learn anything new. He's brainwashed as fuck by the leftist media. You can tell as every few weeks he practices using a new one of their words. "equity" is where he's at now. Apparently, he doesn't grasp what I've stated and will not grasp it in your succinct and to the point post either.
Hopefully, he's to debilitated to make it to the ballot box in 2020

You are right Puerto Rican's don't pay U.S. income tax. If The island was a state and not a territory, folks would be taxed. I suspect this only affects a select few people in Puerto Rico.
Currently, households in Puerto Rico have a median annual income of $20,078 . The most individuals pay in the U.S. with an income of that level is 10%. Considering that the standard deduction for an individual is currently $12,000 or $13,500 if you are over 65, 24,000 for a married couple and $18,000 for head of household. Most if not all of the income tax you paid during the year will be refunded. It is also possible if you have tax credits, you'll get more than you paid in back. Only people with an income over $25,000 pay taxes on a portion of their Social Security benefits. The amount of that portion is broken into tax brackets.
I know someone who has a combined annual income from annuity and Social Security that is less than $20,000. However much income tax is deducted from her annuity is 100% returned each year. Nothing is deducted from her Social Security except for Medicare premiums.
People all over the U.S. with incomes below a certain level, do not pay income tax and yet they receive whatever benefits they qualify for. Why single out Puerto Ricans?

And there are many that deserve to be homeless in Oregon. You scum know who you are. You can then shit on the lawns of your masters. It gets cold in the winter but fear not, you can't freeze your balls of because you've long since given them up.
