Marc Anthony Shuts Down Donald Trump For Not Helping Puerto Rico

Marc Anthony had serious choice words for Donald Trump today for not focusing on relief for Puerto Rico following the destruction after Hurricane Maria. "Mr. President shut the f*** up about NFL. Do something about our people in need in #PuertoRico. We are American citizens too," Anthony tweeted. Over the weekend, Trump went after the NFL after many in protest "took a knee" during the national anthem at the start of the game. He has not dedicated so much attention to the American citizens of Puerto Rico that are in dire need after many are still without electricity and lost their homes due to the natural disaster.

Sarah Huckabee held a press conference where she clarified that the POTUS has sent relief for the island. "The president has sent both administrator Long and senior advisor to the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Bossert, to Puerto Rico today," she said. "They're on the ground to assess the damage. We've done unprecedented movement in terms of federal funding to provide for the people of Puerto Rico and others that have been impacted by these storms. We'll continue to do so and continue to do everything that we can possible under the federal government to provide assistance."

Over the weekend Jennifer Lopez announced she was donating $1 million dollars to help all those in need. "I will be donating one million dollars from the proceeds of my Las Vegas show to the designated beneficiaries—charitable and NGO organizations," she said in a statement. "I’ve been so moved by the initial responses for support from our friends and associates in entertainment and business. They have been overwhelming. Nobody said no. Anybody we’ve called is right there asking what they can do, they’re all very eager to help."

Marc Anthony and JLo united for the relief to help out. "With Marc Antony, we are spearheading additional relief efforts and organizing the Latino community of artists and athletes to rush the relief that our brothers and sisters in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean desperately need," JLo added. "We’re working with Mark Cuban and J.J. Barea. We have two team planes filled with supplies and generators awaiting air clearance to depart, land, and unload these much-needed supplies in San Juan. And I will be donating one million dollars from the proceeds of my Las Vegas show to the designated beneficiaries—charitable and NGO organizations."

The Bronx-diva concluded her statement saying: "I will always be a New Yorker. I am a proud Puerto Rican. And I cannot tell you what it meant to me and the people of Puerto Rico to see New York not only pledge their support, but for Governor Cuomo to actually show up with resources and supplies. Nadia, you too. Governor, you sent a message to all Puerto Ricans that New Yorker stand with you. It is now time for all Americans to be front and center in helping to bring awareness and solutions to the task of rebuilding Puerto Rico. Thank you so much, Governor, for your leadership and your support for the people of Puerto Rico."
