Was he sending his best?
President Donald Trump on Tuesday visited Puerto Rico, nearly two weeks after Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island and destroyed much of its critical infrastructure.
From attacking the mayor of San Juan to lashing out at the media to making pointed remarks about Puerto Ricos broken infrastructure & massive debt, Trump has produced a series of jaw-dropping sound bites in the days and hours leading up to his trip.
On his way
On his way out of the White House on Tuesday, Trump incorrectly claimed that roads on Puerto Rico have been cleared and congratulated himself on doing what he dubiously claimed was a great job.
Then he called on residents of the hurricane-pummeled island many of whom lack electricity, access to water and sewage treatment after a Category 4 storm hit nearly two weeks ago to give the federal government a hand.

......... Cruz broke down the day into two parts: the briefing with Trump and the meeting with members of his Cabinet. She preferred the latter.
"I saw a real connection between the reality and the White House staff," Cruz told CNN. "Sometimes [Trump's] style of communication gets in the way."
"I would hope that the president of the United States stops spouting out comments that really hurt the people of Puerto Rico, because rather than commander-in-chief, he sort of becomes mis-communicator-in-chief," she said. ............
