Understand, Puerto Rico is, was a progressive socialist nightmare that is in debt for more then 74 $billion dollars. But, given this reality, why would the mayor of San Juan be so hostel to Donald Trump? Puerto Rico's entire country was drowning in debt and criminal socialist ideology.
Is this like the Katrina nightmare where the devastation in New Orleans was nearly complete and where that city was controlled by democrats for more then sixty years and the governor, local and federal Louisiana legislators were all progressive democrats? Criminals ran the show for sixty years robbing the taxpayers blind, making themselves rich.
Could we have expected any different results from a natural disaster like Katrina while crooks and high stakes criminals are running the show? Is San Juan any different? The mayor Soto in San Juan and Ray Nagin New Orleans are different? Both progressive socialists and therefore criminals.
San Juan Mayor Feuding With Trump Turned Her Back When Asked to Swear to Uphold the Constitution

A 2013 video shows the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, turning her back when asked to swear to uphold the Constitution. On Saturday, President Donald Trump called out Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor, for her “poor leadership ability” in a tweet. The day prior, Cruz had been critical, saying, “If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency.”
Cruz first became mayor of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, in 2013. When taking the oath of office, Cruz delayed repeating the words that she would “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States,” turning her back to the woman administering the oath for a long moment.

The English and Spanish versions of the oath read as follows:
After turning her back and pausing, Cruz does swear to defend the Constitution, and then enthusiastically repeats to uphold the Puerto Rican Constitution. “During June of this year, when the leading newspaper in Puerto Rico polled people on the island about her performance as mayor, she had an abysmal 24 percent approval rating,” says Ken Oliver-Méndez, former assistant secretary of state of Puerto Rico. “She is known for maligning and stoking sentiment against the United States, and people know that if it were up to her, Puerto Rico would not even be part of the United States.
She has said on record that in her party, there is no room for people who believe in the permanent union of Puerto Rico and the United States,” Oliver-Méndez, director of Media Research Center Latino, added. Oliver-Méndez, who previously headed the speechwriting team of former Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño, unearthed the 2013 video.
Cruz called Trump’s visit to Puerto Rico to survey the damage of Hurricane Maria “insulting,” Politico reported. “This was a PR, 17-minute meeting,” Cruz said. “There was no exchange with anybody, with none of the mayors. And in fact, this terrible and abominable view of him throwing paper towels and throwing provisions at people, it really—it does not embody the spirit of the American nation, you know?”
