The president has been especially critical of media coverage of his Puerto Rico response, and has also implied that the citizens and leaders of Puerto Rico are not appreciative enough of his help.
De Blasio has been a harsh critic of the president, particularly on issues related to climate change and the environment. Earlier Sunday, De Blasio tweeted that Trumps response to Puerto Rico was weak.

Trump is right - NOBODY could have done what he did in Puerto Rico. Perhaps "to" Puerto Rico?

I was expecting to see a "Mission Accomplished" banner at the end of the clip.

If he were wholeheartedly doing his job there would have been great appreciation. Glad individuals and corporations sent help otherwise PRs would have been in a worse mess while waiting on the idiot to figure out how to reach those people in the middle of all that big water. What a giant doofus, he should have already realized that being president is often a thankless job.
