#FTR: Trump is suggesting that Puerto Rico is a burden on the United States...because it finds itself in the path of another storm.
It's also worth noting that Dorian will likely side-swipe Puerto Rico, and directly hit Florida...which he interestingly doesn't see as a burden.
#FACTCHECK: Yet again, Trump claims Puerto Rico has received over $90 Billion in disaster aid.
That's a LIE.
That's the estimated total they'll need to fully recover.
Congress has allocated $42.5 Billion.
ONLY $14 Billion has actually been distributed.

#PREVIOUSLY: Trump has a long history opposing disaster aid to Puerto Rico.
Then taking credit when he had to give in...
#FLAG: Despite Congress allocating $42.5 Billion in disaster aid to Puerto Rico...only $14 Billion has been disbursed.
Today, 30,000 homes STILL have blue FEMA tarps covering, or substituting, roofs that remain damaged from the historic 2017 hurricanes.
#FFS: Once again, Trump blames Puerto Rico for being in the path of a natural disaster.
He seems to believe thousands of Americans died after Irma and Maria, **just** to make him look bad.
As usual, Trump displays the worst of humanity.
Puerto Rico, we stand with you. #Dorian
