Was the part you highlighted untrue? You are acting like FEMA and Trump could have done more, so please list what more they should have done. Be specific.
To be fair President Trump did visit Puerto Rico 13 days after the disaster for about 4 hours. He told the press that the emergency efforts were "nothing short of miraculous" and was thankful that the cat 5 hurricane wasn't a "real catastrophe like Katrina." He then castigated the victims of hurricane Maria for throwing the "budget out of wack." Then he lobbed some paper towels into a crowd.
I can't get inside President Trumps vacuous brain...but I see a man who wanted to believe something, his ego was challenged by the mayor of San Juan, who told us people were dying before Trump visited, and during the visit, and after the visit, but President Trump had already committed to his tweets and it's not like those brown people can vote.
HELP!!! WE ARE DYING HERE. MAYDAY!!! I'M BEGGING!!! PLEASE!!! Said the mayor of San Juan till she was bleeding out of her whatever.

The dead know President Trump does not take criticism well, and yes I think a real President...a good President could have done more than tweet and point fingers.
This does not look miraculous to me.

President Trump sees an unsung success story. Do you agree?
Sadly nobody was in charge and up to the task of saving lives...but you have assured me that
Trump and FEMA did all they could do and
FEMA cannot be held responsible Thank you Sean Hannity, and Thank You President Trump for assuring me those people aren't really dead. #MAGA
