Newsbusters<\/a> posted an article today confirming something President Trump has been asserting for quite some time.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s strategic silence on Puerto Rico\u2019s earthquakes, while greenlighting billions of dollars in aid and a new major disaster declaration for the stricken U.S. territory, is forcing the liberal media into a most uncomfortable place…acknowledging that he was right all along.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> attempted to redeploy ye olde Hurricane Maria playbook, in order to commoditize human suffering for Democrat political gain. This ham-fisted close to their editorial gave the game away:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still, it is worth remembering that many Puerto Ricans were forced to leave the island after Maria and are now living \u2014 and will be able to vote \u2014 in swing states such as Florida and Pennsylvania. Presumably many of them will remember how the island has been treated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to recall that the national media was asleep at the switch during the initial aftermath of Hurricane Maria –devoting coverage instead to the president\u2019s tweets regarding the NFL. In fact, the liberal media didn\u2019t begin to cover Maria\u2019s terrible aftermath until there was a clear anti-Trump angle as embodied by the radical, separatist mayor of San Juan, who rode her post-Maria notoriety all the way to Bernie Sanders\u2019 presidential campaign — where she now serves as national co-chair.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Additionally, the island was roiled by news that much-needed relief supplies sat in a warehouse as earthquake victims suffered- which only serves to bolster the president\u2019s charge (one with which many Puerto Ricans agree, by the way) that the island\u2019s government is corrupt and incompetent. Per CBS News<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Puerto Rico Governor Wanda V\u00e1zquez Garced fired the island’s emergency management director on Saturday, after a video showing aid sitting unused in a warehouse went viral on social media. Some of the aid has allegedly been sitting in the warehouse since Hurricane Maria struck in 2017.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“There are thousands of people who have made sacrifices to help those in the south, and it is unforgivable that resources were kept in the warehouse,” V\u00e1zquez said in a statement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With no obvious anti-Trump angle to chase, the liberal media (with the continued exception of CBS\u2019s David Begnaud) is forced to cover the issue itself, to wit: the earthquakes that have rattled Puerto Rico, and the local government\u2019s continued inability to adequately respond to an emergency due to institutionalized corruption and incompetence. Trump was right after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The start of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is four and a half months away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is typical of countries where corruption reigns–many of the famine problems around the world have more to do with the distribution of food rather than a shortage of food. Dictators around the world have often used food as a weapon to keep their populations under control. In this case, the corruption in Puerto Rico was such that the aid never reached the people who needed it–it remained in warehouses. Meanwhile, the Mayor of San Juan has moved forward to work on the Bernie Sanders campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
