Trump on Puerto Rico: I'd give myself a 10

President Trump on Thursday gave himself a perfect rating for his response to the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico.

I would give myself a 10,” Trump said when asked by reporters how he would score his efforts, on a 1-10 scale.

Trump spoke during a meeting with Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, who is in Washington to push the federal government to provide disaster relief for the island.

“We have provided so much, so fast,” Trump said, adding the disaster was in Puerto Rico was "worse than Katrina."

...of his previous statement, when he trivialized the loss of life in Puerto Rico because, at the time, there had been "only" 16 confirmed deaths?

But it's Trump, so he can have it both ways and call any criticism fake news.
