Today, Donald Trump told Puerto Rico that they dodged a bullet, that the hurricane that hit them was not a real catastrophe, that only a couple of people died, that he, Trump, is doing a great job, but would Puerto Rico please try to spend less money on fixing things up.

Well, I’m certainly glad that problem is managed. Great work!
Oh wait …
Is it too early to lighten the mood a bit?
It is astounding how the president and his defenders present a view of what’s going on in Puerto Rico that is so astoundingly out of touch with what the news from there shows. There is always a bit of fluffing about the quality of work being done, but this is a huge degree of dishonesty from an administration that has been shown to be a master of dishonesty.
