Trump, in PR: " It's the first time that a sitting President has done something like this." [View all]

CNN reports he actually said. this...about Puerto Rico visit.

Full quote:

"I think it meant a lot to the people of Puerto Rico. ... It's the first time that a sitting President has done something like this."

If he is talking about Presidents who visited Puerto Rico, the fact is that both Roosevelts, and Hoover, and Kennedy, and Obama
all visited Puerto Rico while President.
Obamas even stayed there overnight.

If he is talking about those who went to hurricane devastated areas/states, he, a sitting pResident, has forgotten Texas and Fla. already???
