San Juan Mayor calls Trump the ‘Disaster-In-Chief’

It’s been over three months since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, and roughly 30% of the island is still without power.

In a recent interview with ABC News, conducted on the 100th day since the storm’s arrival, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz called President Trump the “disaster-in-chief.”

She thanked the many who “stood with” Puerto Rico and said, in regard to the president, “Where he needed to be a commander-in-chief, he was a disaster-in-chief.”

“President Trump does not embody the values of the good-hearted American people that have made sure that we are not forgotten,” Cruz further noted.

The mayor and the president have been at odds since not long after the disaster struck.

While the Trump administration touted its relief efforts as being successful, Cruz came forward to note the government’s severe insufficiencies in providing necessities like drinkable water and food, reports the Washington Post.

“I am begging, begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying…We are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency,” she also said at a press conference.

Trump responded to her pleas with tweets asserting Cruz had “been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump,” and saying that Puerto Rican officials, “want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”
