Donald Trump Proves He Has No Class In First Puerto Rico Event (Video)
“I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack,” Trump tells officials in San Juan.
In his first stop on the island, Donald Trump proved yet again that he has no idea what he is doing.
Trump spent the entire time heaping praise upon himself and his administration, falsely claiming that the recovery efforts they are leading are going well.
At one point, Trump told officials that their disaster put a hole in the federal budget.
“I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack,” Trump said in front of the cameras.

At another point, Trump even bragged that the death toll was very good compared to Hurricane Katrina.
“Every death is a horror,” Trump said, “but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds of people that died and what happened here with a storm that was just totally overbearing. What is your death count?… 16 people certified. Sixteen people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud of all of your people.”
“What is your death count as of this morning, 17?” he said.
“Sixteen people certified,” Rosselló responded.
“Sixteen people certified versus in the thousands,” Trump said. “You can be very proud of all of your people, all of our people working together. Sixteen versus literally thousands of people. You can be very proud.”
Trump even took time to praise Linda Mcmahon on building a “great business” with the WWE.
