Katty Kay: Puerto Rico ‘Was Mostly Spared the Brunt’ of Dorian ‘But Wasn’t Able to Shake the President’s Twitter Feed’

EXCERPT:

KAY: “Yeah. You’ve been there, Joe. Spare a thought for people in Puerto Rico yesterday. The island was mostly spared the brunt of the storm, but it wasn’t able to shake the President’s Twitter feed. When it was still unclear how hard this storm would actually hit the island, Donald Trump continued his attack Tweeting this: 'We are tracking tropical storm Dorian as it heads, as usual, to Puerto Rico. FEMA and all others are ready and will do a great job. When they do, let them know it and give them a big thank you, not like last time. That includes from the incompetent Mayor of San Juan!' He also Tweeted this: 'Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on Earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either incompetent or corrupt. Congress approved billions of dollars last time, more than any place else has ever gotten, and it is sent to crooked pols. No good.' He then came back for more, that was not enough, Tweeting, 'And by the way, I'm the best thing that's ever happened to Puerto Rico!' Of course, Joe, we know that those billions of dollars that were approved didn't actually end up in Puerto Rico because only a small portion was actually sent to them.”
