Article: One Photo Stands Out after Trump Says Puerto Rico Wants 'Everything Done For Them' - Carla Harreria
Journalist Carla Harreria critiques the president's response to the ongoing devastation in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irma and Maria. Many news outlets have been reporting on the lack of urgency providing resources the U.S territory of Puerto Rico, seen especially in the mayor of San Juan Carmen Yuliana Cruz's tweets and live messages to anyone able to assist the island; stating that "we are dying here" and are in need of much help. so many articles have been written to raise awareness of what is taking place on Puerto Rico and to spark a nationwide conversation regarding what should be done to further help the island and decisions made by those in leadership positions. contrary to the statements made by the mayor and the continued suffering of the island, president trump had recently praised military presence on Puerto Rico reasoning for the difficulty of providing more aid, stating that "This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water". while the debate over how the situation handled continues to be had though, it has to be kept in mind that the people of Puerto Rico are still without power and other supplies that they need.
