.......................................

In his remarks on Rosselló, Trump appeared to be taking a veiled shot at San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, whom the president attacked over the weekend for her criticism of the federal response efforts.

“He’s not even from my party, but he started right from the beginning appreciating what we did,” Trump said of Rosselló in remarks at a National Guard base. “This governor did not play politics. He didn’t play it all. He was saying it like it was and he was giving us the highest grades.”

Cruz attended the briefing, but sat far away from the president. Trump did not mention her during his remarks, even as he cast praise widely on other federal and territory officials for their work, including the island’s representative in Congress, Jennifer González-Colón (R).................................

17. This is what you get when people are so damn lazy they can't get to the polls.

This is what people deserve when they will not be bothered to get informed and vote.

2. He's such a prick.

[Bleacher Creature]

3. So appreciating Trump is the measure of success?

Not lives saved, not restoring electricity, just appreciating this lunatic.

[William Seger]

16. It was painful to listen to

He was almost literally thanking people for doing a great job of appreciating Trump. If you can listen to it and imagine Alec Baldwin saying it, it might be hilarious.

4. Mayor Rossell just got America's Badge of Honor -- insulted by our Prick-in-Chief.

I hope our mainland politicians start earning their badges.

He'd have all of them, small hands down.

8. Trump:

"You brown people made such a mess here. I'm throwing you paper towels; now clean it up."

[VaBchTgerLily]

9. he is such a complete and total ASS! Mayor Cruz was the only one brave enough to call him out....

all the other's I am sure would have liked to share their opinions but feared that he would hold it against them and slow the response even more.

[George II]

10. Now that trump has left, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz is HAMMERING him on CNN!

She's saying that there was a disconnect, but there is understanding between her and the White House staff (implying NOT him)

11. Now THIS is politicizing. What a freakish whimp that bastard is.

13. Say good things about the MALE governor and bad things about the FEMALE mayor...how misogynistic nt

[murielm99]

14. He really hates strong women.

Bill Clinton doesn't. He had Madeline Albright and Janet Reno in his cabinet. He married Hillary.

President Obama likes strong, brainy women, too. Look at who he married.

Orange anus is a despicable person.

Hey sexual predator-----------FUCK YOU

Do you fucking have any sort of empathy asshole, NOPE, he does not, none, he is so into what does it do for me, a true narcissistic misogynistic, megalomaniac, and a Congress controlled by the what is called the republican party sits on there proverbial hands so that they can pass legislation to hurt people, 20 week abortion, silencers for guns, CHIP not being funded..............

And now he's going for photo op to Las Vegas to make an ass out of himself and the world

18. It was my understanding that when they shook hands, he asked how she was.

She replied that she was OK and that she was not playing politics. When she mentioned that, he suddenly turned and walked away. It appeared he threw his arm back toward her like, "why should I bother." He was definitely zapped by Cruz. She showed him that he wasn't going to get by with stupid comments like that and trying to make a fool of her.

She was not impressed with his audience before the people of PR. Good for her.

19. The governor praised him for the great job?

What a liar.
