Despite 2,975 Dead, Trump Gushes Over Puerto Rico Hurricane Response ‘Success’
"I actually think it was one of the best jobs," President Trump says ----------(Last month, Puerto Rico increased its Hurricane Maria death toll estimate to 2,975)

Despite the deaths of nearly 3,000 people as a result of Hurricane Maria — and the federal government’s oft-criticized response to the storm — President Donald Trump on Tuesday called that response an “incredible unsung success.”

If they were real Americans they would have saved themselves like the Texans did.

How trump can call Puerto Rico a success is beyond me. There are people there, American citizens that STILL do not have power. How is that a win? Trump treats Russia and North Korea better than he treats Puerto Rico...

Yep and, he called Katrina a disaster,

Overall, at least 1,245 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making it the deadliest United States hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. Severe property damage occurred in numerous coastal areas, such as Mississippi beachfront towns where boats and casino barges rammed buildings, pushing cars and houses inland; water reached 6–12 miles (10–19 km) from the beach. Total property damage was estimated at $125 billion (2005 USD),[2][1] roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992,[6] tying Katrina with Hurricane Harvey of 2017 as the costliest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record.[7]

I guess when Trump is involved it has to be a success even if nearly 3000 lives are lost and, if it's anyone else it's a disaster, so, if it had been anyone else Trump would have called Maria and, Puerto Rico a disaster.

well again there is a lack of tact by this guy in the white house. And there is a disconnect between what really happens and how he thinks we should see it. 

i am tired of this guy seemingly in his own world, tweeting, speaking insensitively, much less playing to those who seem a bit off themselves that support him. 

another sad day for america, the fist pump made that clear, ugh
