Trump claimed on Sunday that “nobody could have done” what he did in Puerto Rico “with so little appreciation.” He also tweeted a video blaming the “fake news media” for under-covering his accomplishments.





The president has been especially critical of media coverage of his Puerto Rico response, and has also implied that the citizens and leaders of Puerto Rico are not appreciative enough of his help.

The mayor has been a harsh critic of the president, particularly on issues related to climate change and the environment. Earlier Sunday, de Blasio tweeted that Trump’s response to Puerto Rico was “weak.”
