From NBC News
I hope this governor is being straight up about this. Hurricane Maria killed nearly 3,000 people and all Donald Trump can do is throw paper towels, and then declare (and compare) that the aftermath of Maria isn't a "real" disaster like Katrina was in New Orleans. Devastation is devastation. Loss is loss. You can't compare and contrast that.
Just Saying.
Nicole Acevedo of NBC News wrote:
Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said Thursday that he won't allow his officials to be bullied by the White House at a time when President Donald Trump and his administration have doubled down on their opposition to granting the island hurricane recovery funding.
"If the bully gets close, I'll punch the bully in the mouth," Rosselló told CNN, referring to Trump.
His remarks come after the president told Republican legislators at a closed-door Capitol Hill meeting Tuesday that Puerto Rico had received too much money to rebuild after Hurricane Maria. The amount "is way out of proportion to what Texas and Florida and others have gotten," Trump said, according to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida.
While Rosselló told CNN that "it would be a mistake to confuse courtesy with courage," some critics questioned why the governor didn't show this kind of "courage" when Trump first visited the disaster area in October 2017. During that visit, Trump said Puerto Rico was not a "real catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina was in New Orleans.
"The governor is desperate because he knows that history will remember him as a coward," San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, who recently announced she is running for governor in 2020, said on Twitter. "When he had to, the governor of Puerto Rico praised the President. Realizing [now] that his complacent attitude towards Trump is hurting him politically, the governor pretends to be taking Trump on."

While I would love nothing better than seeing Trump get punched in the face, I hope he isn't serious about it. Trump still thinks Puerto Rico isn't part of the United States.
Just because it is unincorporated US Territory doesn't mean you shirk your duties when something disastrous happens there.

The keyword in that phrase is "U.S. TERRITORY." If he doesn't get that, then here's another example of why he shouldn't be president.
