Liberals have been waiting for the chance to jump on President Trump over alleged mishandling of the slew of hurricanes hitting American soil, but the hyperbole displayed so far has been nothing but dishonest.
Administrators in Florida and Texas both reported being satisfied with the federal government’s response, even though state governments are actually charged with fronting the bulk of the bill during these type of events.

According to CNN, even private volunteers have been struggling with delivering aid to the U.S. territory. Expensive shipping costs and tumultuous conditions have made these deliveries difficult.
In response to the problem, the New York Times is reporting the administration has waived the age-old Jones Act to facilitate faster deliveries. The law requires that outbound deliveries from the United States to be owned and operated by Americans.
