With President Donald Trump (finally) en route to visit hurricane stricken U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico, CNN’s reporter on the ground, Leyla Santiago described a grim scene on the island.

Out beyond the capital of San Juan, Santiago said things were so dire that a doctor in the town of Toa Baja told her that people were literally “eating dog food.”

“I’ve got to tell you about an exchange I just had, just in the last 10 minutes, I spoke to the mayor of this town, and he was holding back tears, holding back tears, she said. “He is seeing people day-to-day, and he is saying the desperation is getting out of hand. He told me yesterday he had to deal with a gentlemen who was about to commit suicide. I spoke to a doctor who was right next to him who told me one of his patients was now eating dog food, eating dog food. Patients rating dog food in a clinic.”

1. I hope they saved some for drumpf.

He needs to look into a half-eaten can of dog food and see what people have to deal with.

Donald gave them a golden golf trophy to eat that dog food from

3. I only wish

the commentators last night in Vegas all went to Puerto Rico, which includes Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell. I mean no disrespect to those victims who perished.

5. This was published today! Just short of 2 weeks after Maria hit.

How many of us could imagine Americans would be eating dog food while our president and congress try to save our tax dollars for transfer to the very wealthy?

6. Puerto Ricans should be thanking Trump for the food shortages...

...it will make them smaller targets...
