Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz of San Juan, Puerto Rico, slammed President Trump Tuesday night after his visit to the hurricane-ravaged island, calling him the “miscommunicator-in-chief” and “insulting.” “He was insulting to the people of Puerto Rico,” the mayor said on MSNBC. “This was a PR, 17-minute meeting. There was no exchange with anybody, with none of the mayors. And in fact, this terrible and abominable view of him throwing paper towels and throwing provisions at people, it really—it does not embody the spirit of the American nation, you know?” Later, Cruz added that Trump has “a communication issue.” “You know, he’s gotten sort of, like, miscommunicator-in-chief,” she said.
