San Juan mayor calls Trump 'delusional and unhinged' after he claims Puerto Rico death toll inflated

The mayor of San Juan issued a sharp rebuke of President Trump on Thursday after he claimed 3,000 people did not die in Puerto Rico from the hurricanes that ravaged the island last year.

“Simply put: delusional, paranoid, and unhinged from any sense of reality. Trump is so vain he thinks this is about him. NO IT IS NOT,” Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz wrote about an hour after Trump’s tweets on the matter.

Cruz and Trump have been in a war of words since she criticized the federal government’s response to hurricanes Maria and Irma last year.

On Wednesday, the president called Cruz “totally incompetent” for what he said was an “unappreciated great job” by the administration in wake of the hurricanes.

“As the President said, every death from Hurricane Maria is a horror. Before, during and after the two massive hurricanes, the President directed the entire Administration to provide an unprecedented support to Puerto Rico. President Trump was responding to the liberal media and the San Juan Mayor who sadly have tried to exploit the devastation by pushing out a constant stream of misinformation and false accusations.”
