Thumbs down Puerto Rico Gov. threatens to "punch the bully."

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossell? is through playing nice with President Trump.

After months of soft-pedaling his criticism of the president as Puerto Rico struggles to recover from Hurricane Maria in 2017, Rossell? voiced his frustration with the White House.

"If the bully gets close, I'll punch the bully in the mouth," Rossell? said when asked about a tense meeting Wednesday between members of the Trump administration and Puerto Rican officials. "It would be a mistake to confuse courtesy with [lack of] courage."

Not exactly smart talk from a country wants Statehood.

In a Wednesday meeting with Senate Republicans, Trump said the amount of aid Puerto Rico had so far received ?is way out of proportion to what Texas and Florida and others have gotten,? according to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who attended the meeting.

Puerto Rico faces a $600 million shortfall to administer food stamps. So far the U.S. government has spent more than $6 billion on disaster relief to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which was blamed for killing more than 3,000 people. In June, Texas received $5 billion in federal aid for housing and infrastructure repairs stemming from Hurricane Harvey, which left 103 people dead.

Seem's like they've gotten more than a helping hand up.... time for them to work it out.
