President Donald Trump once again demonstrates his bold leadership by taking on the entrenched bureaucracy of the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico. In a decisive move, Trump has axed five members who failed to bring real change to the beleaguered island. A necessary shakeup was long overdue given the Board’s history of inefficiency and mismanagement.
While Puerto Ricans struggle with the aftermath of natural disasters and economic hardship, the Board was busy lining pockets—including a mind-boggling $3 million salary budget for just 14 employees. How many struggling families could benefit from that money instead? Not to mention the millions spent on high-priced consultants and politically connected firms for lavish expenses.
The Board was supposed to be a guardian of Puerto Rico’s fiscal stability, born out of a law pushed during the Obama years. Yet, all they’ve managed to do is let cronyism flourish. This isn’t about helping families rebuild; it’s about insiders getting richer while hardworking Puerto Ricans foot the bill. The Board was feasting while the people of Puerto Rico were left to scrounge.
Trump’s bold action sends a clear message: This kind of neglect and waste won’t be tolerated. Not in Puerto Rico, and not in any part of America.

INEFFICIENT MANAGEMENT— Mary Meyers (@MaryMeyers29810) August 6, 2025
For those liberals wringing their hands about fairness and accountability, where was this concern before? When Trump steps up to tackle these issues, suddenly they remember to care. Funny how that works.
As Trump clears out the corruption and cronyism stifling progress, one might wonder: Aren’t these the changes the liberals claimed they wanted? Or are they too busy fretting over Trump’s actions to notice that real, positive change is finally happening?
