At a subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said President Donald Trump was “very anti-Trump” in waiving the Jones Act for Puerto Rico and criticized the president for selling out to Wall Street. Hunter was one of the first members of Congress to endorse Trump for president.
