David Martosko @dmartoskoTrump just told reporters that his administration's Puerto Rico response to Hurricane Maria was an "unsung success."
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
I mean this seriously, not as a political dig.
If youre in Florences path and considering riding it out, your President just said that a hurricane response where 3,000 die is his measure of success.
Get out of there.

Makes his complaint to Abe about Pearl Harbor seem a little less serious, doesn't it?

More people died in PR from the hurricane than at Pearl.

He meant it too. In his mind, and no one will ever be able to tell him different, he did a great job.
Anything bad that happened was beyond his control - since what he did he did well. That's his thinking.
It's not his fault.
He'll pull the same shit with Florence.
He smiled for the cameras - that's his idea of a great job done.
Everything else is not his fault.
