Folks are missing a key thing that makes Trump's Puerto Rico tweets so awful.
Trump isn't merely lying about how much PR has gotten.
He's also pitting Midwest victims *against* PR victims, by falsely saying more aid to latter would take aid from former:

Maybe it'd be a bad idea to nominate someone who proudly calls himself a socialist and therefore reminds many Florida Hispanics of all the reasons they fled their homelands to come to the United States? Just a thought.
They hyped Vermont as climate model. It
- pledged to cut emissions by 50%
- invested heavily in wind, solar, efficiency
- shut down its nuclear plant
- increased emissions 2x more than US as whole
- needs 474 years to replace lost nuclear with wind https://t.co/3b5pO8UcIK
Martin Shkreli, the so-called "Pharma Bro" who became notorious after hiking the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000 percent, is reportedly in solitary confinement after using a contraband mobile phone to continue running his business while in prison https://t.co/EdYeyxu0kc
@nikkifried Medical marijuana prices are outrageous. I'd hoped that smokable mmj would've allowed dispensaries to provide bulk purchase discounts to patients. I'm told by @Trulieve that they have to sell by increments of 8ths at full price. $53 8th means $424oz. Lot of $$$.
@EdKrassen@AOC Was she right when she claimed to have two degrees? Was she right when she said she has an economics degree? Was she right that she worked in microbiology?
TL:DR -- She's a liar.
@Buttankle@tommyxtopher I actually looked that up because it sounded so ridiculous. She placed SECOND in a high school science fair that MIT judged or helped sponsor. She was honored...AND I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP...by having a star named after her.

The president believes white farmers in the midwest are true Americans and therefore entitled to aid, and Puerto Ricans are not. It's not more complicated than that.
