RadioOnFire.com - It has been nearly two weeks since Hurricane Maria brought destruction to the island of Puerto Rico while making its path through the Caribbean. And with officials in the U.S. commonwealth continuing to call for aid and for logistical support from Washington, the President is still yet to have stepped foot on the territory's grounds. But he did dedicate an award he received at The Presidents Cup to Texan, Floridian and Puerto Rican survivors of September's massive storms.
“On behalf of all of the people of Texas, and all of the people – if you look today and see what is happening, how horrible it is, but we have it under really great control. Puerto Rico and the people of Florida who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them," Trump said before a clapping audience at Liberty National Golf Course in New Jersey. He had arrived at the course after spending most of the weekend at his Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey. “And we’re going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much that we love. A part of our great state, really a part of our great nation,” he then added, but not before the words of a heckler calling him out on the topic of Puerto Rico, echoed from the crowd.
“You don’t give a s**t about Puerto Rico,” the voice of one man hollered.
