Trump faces political danger in visit to Puerto Rico
After tweeting against local officials, and as islanders continue to suffer, the president could get less than a warm welcome.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday will come face to face with the “politically motivated ingrates” he slammed on Twitter just days before.
The president will land in Puerto Rico after spending much of the past week boasting about a wildly successful response effort that hasn’t matched the reality of the hurricane-ravaged island and after picking a fight over the weekend with the San Juan mayor.
The visit comes as he’s also attempting to be soother-in-chief for the nation after a shooting in Las Vegas left at least 59 dead on Sunday night — the first time he’s had to navigate two disasters of national scope that are politically perilous for any president, but especially one prone to off-the-cuff riffs.
The Puerto Rico stop will mark only the start of emotionally charged travels for Trump this week. On Wednesday, he is scheduled to travel to Las Vegas to meet with the families of victims of Sunday’s massacre.
Trump struck a somber tone in his first public comments on the deaths in Las Vegas, decrying the “act of pure evil” and calling for unity. On Tuesday, though, he will trade the scripted and controlled setting of the East Room for a storm-ravaged island where more than half of the residents remain without access to drinking water and only 5 percent of the island has electricity.
