The Hill reports:
President Trump on Thursday gave himself a perfect rating for his response to the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico. “I would give myself a 10,” Trump said when asked by reporters how he would score his efforts, on a one to 10 scale.
Trump spoke during a meeting with Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, who is in Washington to push the federal government to provide disaster relief for the island. “We have provided so much, so fast,” Trump said, adding the disaster in Puerto Rico was “worse than Katrina.”
The president’s self-assessment is at odds with the opinions of many in the U.S. territory, who have criticized the administration’s response.
