WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump heaped lavish praise Tuesday on his administration's response to Hurricane Maria, a devastating storm that left nearly 3,000 people on Puerto Rico dead and the island's residents without power for months.
"I actually think its one of the best jobs that's ever been done with respect to what this is all about," Trump said. "I think Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success."
Trumps' comments came as his administration is preparing to respond to Hurricane Florence, a dangerous Category 4 storm that is threatening to barrel down on North Carolina and South Carolina within days.
