The mayor of a Puerto Rican city that sits next to San Juan praised the administration's help Saturday night, and chided the "politics" of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who has been criticizing President Trump.
In an interview with Secrets, Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez Otero said that in several meetings with FEMA and U.S. military officials about the recovery effort, Yulin Cruz has been absent. "I've seen other mayors participating. She's not," said Perez Otero.

I voted for Trump and am probably biased, but I think his administration has done a great job in the aftermath of Harvey, Irma, and Maria. His FEMA Director seems to be first rate. Puerto Rico has been decimated. The infrastructure is in shambles. There is little left. An unbelievable amount of goods, equipment and people are pouring into Puerto Rico. Given that the island was bankrupt before the storm one can guess who will pay for the recovery. (Hint: look in the mirror). It doesn't help that Puerto Rico forced the closing of the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base which removed $300M in annual revenue from the Puerto Rican economy. I question the common sense of the Mayor of San Juan for criticizing the person throwing her a life preserver. Seems stupid to me.
