Who would have ever thought we'd find ourselves here ...
The President of the United States is blaming Puerto Ricans for being lazy in the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters this country has ever seen, Hurricane Maria, and Donald J. Trump has taken to Twitter to blast San Juan's mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz for doing nothing to aid in the relief effort. Of course President Trump Tweeted this from the golf course, where he's enjoying some R&R this weekend.
So 37-year-old Pulizter Prize-winning Hamilton playwrite Lin-Manuel Miranda -- whose father is from Puerto Rico -- took to Twitter Saturday morning to slam the President, with this message: "You’re going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump. No long lines for you. Someone will say, ‘Right this way, sir.’ They’ll clear a path."
This was in response to Trump's early Saturday morning Tweet that read, "They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job." Trump blamed the Mayor's "poor leadership." Miranda fought back with, "She has been working 24/7. You have been GOLFING. You’re going straight to hell. Fastest golf cart you ever took."
Mayor Cruz made this impassioned plea for help -- "We are dying," she told the media and the world. She's begging for help as her citizens are running out of clean water and gas and have had no electricity since the hurricane hit and no prospect of getting it back for months. "I'm begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying ... You are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy." She went on to say, "If we don't get the food and the water into people's hands, we are going to see something close to a genocide."
Celebs like John Legend and Lady Gaga took to Twitter to criticize the President and show their support for Puerto Rico ...
