Donald Trump thinking on his feet is 71 seconds of peak Trump

The mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital city has appealed to Donald Trump to do more to help in the wake of the terrible destruction wreaked by hurricanes on the island.

“I cannot fathom the thought that the greatest nation in the world cannot figure out the logistics for a small island of 100 miles by 35 miles. So, mayday we are in trouble.”

And this was the so-called president’s response.

So he's figured out what an island is… I guess that's "progress"

He still hasn't figured out what an ocean is though. The Caribbean is a sea.

Pretty much sums up his presidency.
