Asked why he didn't approve the aid package years ago, Trump baselessly claimed in a Friday news conference that it was the Democrats' fault.

"Very tough to get things passed, Democrats, where they don't want to see this happen," he said, though the reality is his administration held up aid to the island as he criticized its residents.

The President also boasted that he is the "best thing that's ever happened to Puerto Rico" despite having criticized the island and its residents for years.
