(CNN) President Donald Trump praised Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló on Tuesday, saying he wasn't "playing politics" -- an apparent swipe at San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, with whom he has publicly feuded over the past several days.
"I just want to tell you that right from the beginning this governor was not playing politics," Trump said as he huddled with local and federal officials on the island for a briefing on recovery efforts. "He was giving us the highest grades."
Trump attacked Yulín Cruz on Saturday for criticizing the White House's hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, accusing her of "poor leadership" and suggesting that the island's residents are not doing enough to help themselves.
When he arrived to the island, he shook her hand but didn't bring up any past remarks she made about the administration's response to Hurricane Maria.
Earlier Tuesday, Yulín Cruz said in a statement that she accepted an invitation to attend a briefing with Trump "on behalf of the people of San Juan and out of respect for the American people represented by the office of the President of the United States."

The mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump," the President tweeted from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he spent the weekend. "Such poor leadership ability by the mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.
Earlier Tuesday morning, Trump appeared to soften his criticism, saying Yulín Cruz "acknowledged" the work the White House has done on the island.
"Well I think she's come back a long way," he said. "I think it's now acknowledged what a great job we've done. And people are looking at that. In Texas and in Florida, we get an A-plus. I think we've done just as good in Puerto Rico and it's actually a much tougher situation ... Whether it's her or anybody else, they're all starting to say it."

Trump is correct! So whats your point? Freakin Mayor never attended any Unified Command meeting. Hard to be informed without attending the briefings!

You appear to be ill-informed! Passing on information without any research. Did you know that the truckers union in PR went on strike due to a law passed they do not agree with and the Union vowed to "make PR pay" until law is resended. No human compassion over there!

So correcting you is "acting like a chick"?

Sure he did. Don't blame him a bit. She seemed to have a very basic misunderstanding of how FEMA actually works. They do not come in and take over. They come in and support whatever tasks the local government directs them to.
Also, few people including this idiot in Puerto Rico seem to understand that after a storm like this supply ships can't just sail into port until they know it is safe and clear. All kinds of wreckage and debris move around and fall into ship channels. The port in Corpus Christi was closed for days while the ship channel was surveyed. The last thing you need is a ship sailing in, hitting some structure, and sinking which would block the channel.
FEMA was already stretched pretty damn thin on top of everything else.

Who said I had a point? All I did was copy and paste an article. You started assuming all kinds of things. "I'm ill informed" it's an article dude.

Look how smart you are
No opinion of mine was given but you act like a chick. Just like your friend with not half a brain between y'all.

Well. Not for nothing. But the San Juan mayor is a pretty fricking vile person and honestly, that's just not debatable.

CNN - ha! What a sack of garbage.

Someone likes attention.
I cant figure out if he's an alter copying SFP's posting methodology, or someone desperately in need of anonymous validation in his life

This is SOP for the Left. They started this wth HW Bush and Hurricane Andrew and have done It with every GOP POTUS since.
