Trump attacks ‘nasty’ San Juan mayor and accuses Puerto Rico workers of being lazy in vicious tweet frenzy
30
September, 2017
President
Donald Trump launched an early morning Twitter attack on the mayor of
San Juan, saying she is being manipulated by the Democratic Party,
and told to be “nasty” to him.
He
followed that up by blaming her leadership for the slowness in
repairs, while calling Puerto Rican workers lazy, saying they “want
everything done for them.”
Throughout
Friday, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz made multiple appeals to mainland
U.S. citizens that “people are dying” in Puerto Rico, and
was mildly
critical of
the president for not sending more help to the U.S. territory that
was ravaged by a hurricane.
Later
in the day, Cruz ramped up her appeal, specifically
addressing Trump,
saying, “We are not as second-class citizens, but as animals that
can be disposed of.”
Trump,
who has a history of over-reacting on Twitter to even the smallest
slight, lashed out at Cruz early Saturday morning, tweeting, “The
Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago,
has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.”
