President Donald Trump walks off Air Force One as he arrives at the Muniz Air National Guard Base as he makes a visit after Hurricane Maria hit the island on Ocotober 3, 2017 in Carolina, Puerto Rico. The President has been criticized by some that say the governmentÕs response has been inadequate.
For the second time in one day, President Donald Trump has stuck his foot in his mouth. Guess it's good he has two feet.
The first time, he referred to the Las Vegas shooting as "a miracle."
This time, he sat across the table from Puerto Rican leaders — who've spent weeks begging him for help — and told them that the U.S. has spent way too much on Puerto Rico and that they should be proud of their low death toll, which is minimal compared to the "real catastrophe" that was Katrina.
Seriously?
It was right before his flight to Puerto Rico on the morning of Tuesday, October 3 that Donald Trump referred to the Las Vegas shooting as "a miracle."

No matter what he was trying to say, the language he used was extraordinarily inappropriate. And Trump didn't seem to learn much during his short flight to the island because when he arrived in Puerto Rico, the things that came out of his mouth there weren't any better.First, he joked about what this disaster in Puerto Rico is costing.
