Trump: FEMA, Military, First Responders Can’t Be in Puerto Rico Forever

‘At some point, FEMA has to leave’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "At a certain time, FEMA and first responders and the military, we have close to 18,000 people in Puerto Rico right now. We moved a hospital ship, I believe it's the largest in the world that is there now and you don’t want to use it as much, if you can have the local hospitals it's better in many ways. But we have tremendous assets in Puerto Rico. At some point, no matter where it is, whether it’s Texas or whether it’s Florida, you know, it ends. But I can say in the case of Texas and the case of Florida and the case of Louisiana, some areas also got grazed, they have been incredible in the response and incredible with how fast it’s coming back and in many cases, the areas that were devastated are already back. In this instance, it’s a more difficult situation but I think the governor understands that FEMA, the military, first responders cannot be there forever. And no matter where you go, they cannot be there forever."
