Since the devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico (which is, as a reminder, a territory of the U.S.), Donald Trump has spent most of his time on Twitter complaining about the NFL and attempting to create even more division in our country. People have been calling for POTUS to address the situation in Puerto Rico, and good news! He finally tweeted. Bad news: The tweets were a huge disappointment for many people.
Unsurprisingly, these tweets garnered a big, largely negative response. Here's what people are saying:
POS POTUS insults Puerto Rico while they're going through a terrible humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/SuUj7erTMGSeptember 26, 2017

So @realDonaldTrump continues his attack on people of color. Blaming the victims is a dear construct of White Supremacy. https://t.co/CUVHicr9pJSeptember 26, 2017

Americans, Mr. President. Americans are in deep trouble. For God's sake, many of us have friends & family we haven't even heard from. https://t.co/OBglAjtR1DSeptember 26, 2017
