What Trump really wanted to say was ...
So far so good, I can't tell you how impressed I am with myself right now for my tremendously beautiful job of handling this hurricane.
If your cell phones are still working down there in Houston, feel free to tweet from your roof tops to congratulate me about my crowd size before you drown.

(19,359 posts)He said this because some advisor said don't do any congratulations now, like Bush did with Michael Brown, his FEMA director. Remember "Great job, Brownie!"?
So some advisor, remembering this told him not to say congratulations, but he accidentally began to slip, that's when he said the quote in the OP.
