Drumpf lied about calling "Gold Star" families and had to scramble to actually make the calls. It was politically driven as is everything Drumpf does.

"Puerto Rico, etc. -- he doesn't help himself...."

He complained that Puerto Rico was already run down and therefore only deserves a fraction of the resources available to the 50 states. That translates into death and despair. Is it the childrens fault Puerto Rico infrastructure has completely deteriorated? 

During the Louisiana floods , Red team cried about them receiving FEMA resources. Yet New Jersey has a little damage and suddenly Christie was on the phone to Obama and got ridiculed for riding on AF1 with the POTUS. Then it really got nasty, why? Because Christie lost his mind and hugged Obama! I assure you, young eyes were being covered all over the Confederacy.

Ted Cruz came hat in hand as well. Florida, all the red states basically take more tax money than they contribute. The blue states make up the difference to help them.
