Donald Trump Rates Himself 'A 10' For Aid In Puerto Rico

Donald Trump is known to be narcissistic and exaggerate facts, and this latest one has got to be a joke. At an event in the White House with Ricardo Rosselló, Puerto Rican Governor, Trump was asked to rate his response to the devastation left by Hurricane Maria in the island. “I’d say it was a 10,” Trump replied. “I give ourselves a 10. … We have provided so much, so fast. We were actually there before the storm hit.” According to HuffPost, the island is still suffering after more than a month since the hurricane made landfall. In a country home to 3.4 million Americans, 30 percent has no drinking water and 80 percent continue living without power.

The current White House resident has been critical of Puerto Rico's debt and even took a jab as saying that due to the hurricane, the budget was being thrown "out of whack." “I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack because we spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico, and that's fine,” Trump said. “We saved a lot of lives.”

During his visit to Puerto Rico he also made a comment that did not sit well with people, comparing the tragedy of Katrina to the one caused by Maria. “If you looked — every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overbearing, nobody has seen anything like this,” Trump said.

“What is your death count as of this morning, 17?" he said.

“Sixteen people certified," Rosselló responded.

“Sixteen people certified versus in the thousands,” Trump said. “You can be very proud of all of your people, all of our people working together. Sixteen versus literally thousands of people. You can be very proud.”

On Twitter he threw some shade at Puerto Rico as well. "Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble," he wrote. "It's old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the Island was destroyed, with billions of dollars owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities - and doing well."
