Your point taken, globalization is the main cause of these problems faced by Puerto Rico and many of the poor in the us mainland. I also agree that these other nations are In a state of emergency with no help in sight. My issue here is that Puerto Ricans are citizens of the US and have paid their dues even to the point of a complete cultural change on the island. The president should have acted responsibly  and treated the people with respect and that he did not do. I am not a Democrat nor did I oppose/support trump but I cannot continue to make excuses for this man's bigotry and incompetence. I would love to speak to a trump supporter after all that has taken place.
