Trump says he's taken better care of Puerto Rico than 'any living human being'

President Trump on Thursday said that he has taken better care of Puerto Rico than "any living human being," renewing his clash with officials on the island over his administration's response to Hurricane Maria.

"Puerto Rico has been taken care of better by Donald Trump than by any living human being. And I think the people of Puerto Rico understand it," Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for a rally in Michigan.

"I’m giving them more money than they’ve ever gotten," he said, adding that he believes he has a "great relationship" with the residents of Puerto Rico.

He has previously called the government's response "fantastic," an "unsung success" and graded it a "10."

The complete opposite of reality. He's done the most he could do to hurt , not help PR. but has to project his lies to cover for how little he's done for them. He does that with everything, claim something untrue, and then lie to use and repeat it to the weak who follow him. Like he did for his tax scam , like he did claiming he'd save jobs, and on and on. He's nothing but a total fraud.

The money in the Treasury is not yours. The Attorney General is not your personal attorney. The military is not your personal goon squad. You've been in the job for more than two years, you still don't know how government works. Idiot.
