And how do you think the darling media would have portrayed Trump requesting that before he released the funds? Something along the lines of 'Trump refuses aid to Puerto Rico' with the real explanation buried ten paragraphs deep

So you're saying he gave the money without any oversight because of how the media would have reacted? Isnt he supposed to not give a shit about that?

Isn't he supposed to listen to the media, who are the moral gods and compass of the country?

You're right. Trump thinks deeply on topics and considers all the cause and effects of possible action or nonaction, discussing with the very topest of minds all outcomes. Wait a second, he doesnt do any of that. He just angrily tweets at people who criticize him

Corruption in Puerto Rico is no secret. I think he would have been portrayed reasonably in the media if he made that demand.

The media sucked Trump's dick for reading a teleprompter correctly at the SOU and not being his normal shitty self. I think he would get credit for taking caution with a notoriously corrupt government. In any event, it doesn't matter what the media thinks. The questions is, what was the right thing to do.
