Trump not to blame for island’s failures

The rally this past weekend blaming President Donald Trump for not doing more for the people of Puerto Rico is just another example of finding someone to blame for their own situation.

How about blaming the Puerto Rican politicians who were told many years ago their electrical grid was outdated but did nothing to correct the situation? Recently, it was reported that cases upon cases of water meant for hurricane victims have been sitting at the airport for over a year. How in the world did the Puerto Rican government not know about all that water sitting there waiting to be delivered to the people?

Then here come Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, to the rally to further blame Trump for not doing more. Ask yourself, what did these two do to help the people of Puerto Rico? Not a thing, except a lot of talking.

I truly feel for the people of Puerto Rico, but they really need to closely look at their local officials who have bankrupted the island.

DON PROSSER, JENSEN BEACH who have lost everything — their homes, their car, their job?

The president and both political parties seem to be ignoring this national disaster that is still unfolding, seemingly consumed by yet another sex scandal.
