It’s not morning without a presidential Twitter tantrum.

This weekend, President Trump turned his sights on Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan, who was critical of Washington’s slow response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.

“I will do what I never thought I was going to do,” she said Friday. “I am begging, begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying,” Cruz added. “If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency.”

In his Saturday morning tweetstorm, Trump claimed Cruz had been ordered by the Democrats to “be nasty to Trump,” that her people expected everything to be done for them and that any criticism was tantamount to insulting the first responders.
