As Tropical Storm Dorian beats down on Puerto Rico, Donald Trump decided to attack the country again. He also launched a new attack against the Mayor of San Juan Carmen Yulin Cruz.

We are tracking closely tropical storm Dorian as it heads, as usual, to Puerto Rico. FEMA and all others are ready, and will do a great job. When they do, let them know it, and give them a big Thank You – Not like last time. That includes from the incompetent Mayor of San Juan!

Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt. Congress approved Billions of Dollars last time, more than anyplace else has ever gotten, and it is sent to Crooked Pols. No good!….

….And by the way, I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to Puerto Rico!

Over 3K Puerto Ricans died because of Hurricane Maria.

Mayor Yulin Cruz responded to Trumps’s idiocy:

I said yesterday that Trump needs to be quite, “calm down” get out of the way and make way for those of us who are actually doing the work on the ground. Maybe Trump will understand this time around THIS IS NOT ABOUT HIM; THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS; THIS IS ABOUT SAVING LIVES. https://t.co/uy5dZY9uwY
