I mean, find some time to tell the Navy to get down there and rescue people and provide food and provisions and medical care.” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4970478/hillary-clinton-criticizes-trump-puerto-rico-response/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4970478/hillary-clinton-criticizes-trump-puerto-rico-response/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Wants Donald Trump to Stop Tweeting and Send the Navy to Puerto Rico","datePublished":"2017-10-05T14:53:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:47.180Z","description":"\"Find some time to tell the Navy to get down there and rescue people\"","url":"https://time.com/4970478/hillary-clinton-criticizes-trump-puerto-rico-response/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","politics","jimmy fallon","TV","Donald Trump","Late Night Television","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon","hillary clinton"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9334bd4a58185590/6988e0a597cdff15d06b2b75/screen-shot-2017-10-05-at-10-28-04-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9334bd4a58185590/6988e0a597cdff15d06b2b75/screen-shot-2017-10-05-at-10-28-04-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The-Tonight-Show-Hillary-Clinton","caption":"","creditText":"NBC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4970478/hillary-clinton-criticizes-trump-puerto-rico-response/","name":"Hillary Clinton Wants Donald Trump to Stop Tweeting and Send the Navy to Puerto Rico"}}]}] ```
