Trump’s rationale for giving himself the highest marks centered on how bad the storm was, not anything his administration has done.
Trump gives himself perfect grade for Puerto Rico response, less than 20% of island has electricity
"I say it was a 10."

That narcissism. 450 dead, no power or food and he gave himself a 10.
Wow did not know so many lives were lost , was it by flooding
We don't know because the admin won't release the numbers or investigate the actual number
fukk you even giving a rating for? People are dead? You shouldn't celebrate this shyt you should be somber the whole time every time you mention it because people are dead.
Elect a man with absolutely no empathy for brown folks, fukking cacs.
