Donald Trump: “The governor of Puerto Rico is so thankful for the great job that we're doing. We did a great job in Texas, a great job…”

On the recordSeptember 25, 2017
The governor of Puerto Rico is so thankful for the great job that we're doing. We did a great job in Texas, a great job in Florida, a great job in Louisiana. We hit little pieces of Georgia and Alabama. And, frankly, we're doing -- and it's the most difficult job because it's on the island. It's on an island in the middle of the ocean. It's out in the ocean. You can't just drive your truck there from other states. And the governor said we're doing a great job. In fact, he thanked me specifically for FEMA and all of the first responders in Puerto Rico.
