     Helloooo...Donald Trump?  Anybody home? 
    Three million Americans are stranded in Puerto Rico, existing in devastation, with no electricity, no running water, no power grid at all, no structures, no shelter, no transportation, no hospitals, running out of food and water, hungry, injured, desperate, helpless...people are dying, children, old people... and all you can do is pat yourself on the back and waste your time sending out stupid tweets about the NFL? And stupid dangerous tweets to Kim Jon Un that could get us all killed?  And, worst of all in this case,  stupid, cruel heartless, insulting tweets to the suffering Puerto Ricans?

      Hello?  Donald? Should we do you the kindness of labeling you clueless?
Picture
     Or do you just revel in behaving in ways that are beneath contempt?
     But you're the President, for crying out loud, you're supposed to be doing something about the crisis in Puerto Rico. But the fact is, you don't have a clue about what to do, which is why all you can do is run your tweetin' mouth!
      Okay, you've made it clear that you don't know or don't care how to take command in the face of the humanitarian crisis that is happening on your watch in Puerto Rico.  I do.  Listen:
     1. Listen to Hillary Clinton.

     You know, Hillary Clinton?
Picture
 Who isn't our President, but who if she was, wouldn't have us on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea,  wouldn't be frittering her time away complaining about football players - well, there wouldn't even be the NFL situation if Hillary were President - and who knows  what needs to be done right now for Puerto Rico:

     Get it, Donald?  Send the Navy! Now!
    
2. Along with sending the Navy, follow the example of the American medical aid group Heart To Heart International, 
with whom my daughter Claire just returned from a medical mission to  devastated areas of the  Florida Keys.
Picture
     Heart To Heart has rounded up cruise ships and helicopters to transport medical staff and supplies to Puerto Rico, as posted on the Heart To Heart home page:
      "A large helicopter has been arranged to fly our team and all our emergency gear to San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday morning (that was last Sunday morning). The cruise line, Royal Caribbean, has graciously offered to transport another medical team along with a large amount of emergency medical supplies to Puerto Rico. “The Adventure of the Seas” will depart Fort Lauderdale on Monday (yesterday), delivering our team to San Juan on Wednesday. Thanks to Linda Allen, our cruise consultant, for opening the door to this wonderful gift of transportation."
       Donald Trump, you could do that, too!  I mean, you are President of the United States!  You could put out a call - immediately! right now! To every cruise ship in the Caribbean! Create a "Caribbean Navy" to deliver volunteers, food, and aid to Puerto Rico.  And while you're at it you could send your own yachts, too.

    Or you could keep sitting back, picking tweet fights and bragging about how great you are.

      As for the rest of us Americans, we haven't the power to send the Navy, appropriate cruise ships, or go there ourselves to help.  But what we can do is make a donation to Heart To Heart International,  http://www.hearttoheart.org/
Picture
...and direct the money to go to Hurricane Relief.
Picture
     At least we can do something.
