Trump seems to be trying for a “insensitive comments about Puerto Rico” hat trick
Fresh from tweeting about how the government of Puerto Rico “want everything done for them”, Trump seems to be going for a hat trick after making a “joke” about the financial cost of the hurricane.

Interesting choice of wording: "You've" thrown 'OUR' budget…. He clearly sees PR as an "OTHER". How sad!😥

We wonder who found his gag funnier – the 16 (possibly more) people who died or the estimated 1.5 million people still without drinking water?
His antics proved a hit with the locals.
