After saying nothing about the humanitarian disaster wrought by Hurricane Maria for days, only to attack the mayor of San Juan via Twitter, the president made it down to Puerto Rico. There, he complained that the territory, which had been without electricity and water for days, was costing him a lot of money. Later, he said that Maria wasn’t a “real catastrophe like Katrina” and then tossed paper towels into the crowd like it was Friday night at Madison Square Garden and he was shooting T-shirts into the stands with an air cannon. The following September, he claimed the 3,000-person death count was a Democratic hoax to make him look bad.
