Trump: US 'will not rest' until Puerto Ricans are safe

WTF? does that last sentence mean?????

(CNN)President Donald Trump vowed support for the ongoing relief and recovery efforts in Puerto Rico in somber remarks Friday, but later again touted his administration's response to the ongoing devastation on the US territory.

"It's been total devastation," Trump said, before adding: "But I think it's going really well, considering."

Departing the White House on Friday afternoon ahead of a weekend at his New Jersey golf club, Trump said it was a "tough situation" on the island.

"The loss of life, it's always tragic," Trump said. "But it's been incredible. The results that we've had with respect to loss of life. People can't believe how successful that has been, relatively speaking."

I know he's a miserable ass but I can't really believe he's going to play golf while this is going on. Oh he probably will but I just have a hard time wrapping my head around that.

He's clueless, has no idea what is going on beyond the few bullet points he might have remembered from his morning briefing. Today, those were:

1). total devastation
2). tough situation
3). loss of life


He translated that into self congratulatory boasting:

1). it's going really well
2). it's been incredible
3). successful
