And you've got multiple sources that explain how this supposed truckers strike was made up and then picked up by the right wing media.  If you were at all interested in the truth, you would admit that this "truckers strike" is fake news.  

The fact is, most of the truckers in Puerto Rico are stranded without fuel or cell phone access and can't even get to the trucks they are supposed to be driving.  The Teamsters are recruiting truckers from the mainland to drive the trucks.

It just boggles my mind the way you guys cherry pick "Jim Hoffa" from the Snopes article as if that refutes everything the article said.  And then you buy into the right wing agenda-driven media that wants to claim there's a truckers strike when there isn't one.  All because you want to defend Trump from unfair attacks.  As if telling a lie about a truckers strike is a valid defense.  It's crazy.

LOL!  

Talk about fake news!  Nobody is saying it's a "truckers strike."  Simply stating that the local union is making it difficult for anyone to deliver aid to the areas in need.  

There is fuel in Puerto Rico, and the larger transport operations get priority to assure they have the ability to get the aid where it needs to be.

Take Jimmy Hoffa out of the equation.  Snopes has been exposed as a political hack operation, so they're never going to give you a clear vision of the actual story if it dares to taint their beloved leftist views.  That's not defending Trump.  That's simply stating fact.  The agenda driven left wing media (which I'm sure is every preset on your remote) is only going to spin a story in a direction that paints Trump in a bad light regardless of the fact that it may not be an accurate portrayal, which is absolutely the case with the way the administration has responded to 3 major natural disasters in the span of a few weeks.  It started with Melania's shoes after Harvey, and has ended with the media trying to lionize a corrupt mayor because she called this "Trump's Katrina".
