    President Donald Trump has made it clear his administration isn't planning to allow any additional outside aid to get into Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

    Speaking with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, the president cited business interests as the reason for refusing calls from lawmakers and activists to allow international organizations and governments to ship aid to the island.

    Trump said he was initially considering whether to implement a temporary waiver of the Jones Act to allow it, but decided against doing so as "a lot of people that work in the shipping industry…don’t want the Jones Act lifted."

    Another example of trump showing his true colors first, then flipping when someone was able to talk sense into him. Too late, ay hole.

    I don't think he changes his mind because someone talks sense into him. I think it's because he's told how bad he'll look and that's more important than people dying for lack of help. He couldn't care less about that.
    And this new garbage about NFL owners being afraid of their players; that's a 3rd grader in the schoolyard yelling chicken, chicken at someone. :tongue:

    Not much happening on twitter.  Latest folks........

    Facebook was always anti-Trump.The Networks were always anti-Trump hence,Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion? But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring!
    I know that Zuckerberg, Ryan, Devos and Trump have all been in the same room together a few times since election day.

    Maybe this scenario?

    Trump: I don't like Puerto Rico, they were mean to me.

    Advisor: Mr President, we need to reconsider and ease the Jones Act to help these citizens.

    Trump: I don't want to. (pouts in the corner)

    Advisor: If we don't lift the restriction, it will make people think poorly of you.

    Trump: WHAT! Everybody loves me.

    Advisor: People are upset with you. These people are losing everything.

    Trump: Oh that's bad. I like winning.  I'll give in this time, but that's the last time.

    McCain: introduces legislation that would permanently waive Jones Act for Puerto Rico.

    Does anyone, including Trump, realize that every American has the right to sit, stand, kneel, do cartwheels, or do whatever they want to do during the national anthem? It's such a non issue. I think every sporting event should stop playing the song before every game. That'll end this silly news story.

    FEMA & First Responders are doing a GREAT job in Puerto Rico. Massive food & water delivered. Docks & electric grid dead. Locals trying really hard to help but many have lost their homes. Military is now on site and I will be there Tuesday. Wish press would treat fairly! Puerto Rico is devastated. Phone system, electric grid many roads, gone. FEMA and First Responders are amazing. Governor said "great job!"

    So has the plight of the minority increased since the comments of President Trump?  I see more people kneeling since his comments.  I really think that the kneel has now become a protest against Donald Trump.

    I don’t think this is an increased plight of the minority, but then again, no one said it was. This is increased solidarity with the plight of the minority. 

    I also think this is a protest against Donald Trump’s attempt to stifle freedom to dissent (particularly relevant when earned). This is a big difference from an arbitrary dislike of the man, which seems to be how you perceive all criticism of Trump.

    And yet why was the Jones Act not waived as it was for the past two hurricanes?
