Take your pick of painfully awkward Donald Trump moments in Puerto Rico: Spanking officials for spending too much money on hurricane recovery; praising them for having a death count of 16 or; launching a bunch of paper towels into a crowd.

Okay we’ll do the last one.

The president threw a load of paper towels at a crowd of hurricane victims like he was playing a bad game of basketball, or firing cheap merchandise from a T-shirt gun at a football game.

People weren’t quite sure what to think. Sure, they were getting free paper towels, but at what cost?

Trust Trump not to mince his words — yet totally mince them at the same time.

He found himself in a awkward situation when he told off Puerto Rico for spending more than it should have done on hurricane recovery.

He said: ‘Now, I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack.’

Realizing what he’s said (and that numerous people have died), he begins to backtrack so fast.

Trump continued: ‘We’ve spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico and that’s fine, we’ve saved a lot of lives.

‘If you look at the — every death is a horror — but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds that died, and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally over powering, nobody’s ever seen anything like this — what is your death count?

’16 people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud. 16 versus literally thousands of people.’

Painful.

The president also handed out flashlights at a church, where 200 people cheered his arrival and crowded around him getting pictures on their cellphones.

‘There’s a lot of love in this room, a lot of love,’ Trump said. ‘Great people.’
