Donald Trump is talking about hurricanes today, and it’s going … well, it’s going:
Trump just told reporters that his administration's Puerto Rico response to Hurricane Maria was an "unsung success."

Trump gives himself an A+ on Texas and Florida hurricanes, but says Puerto Rico was the "best job that's ever been done."

"I think Puerto Rico was incredibly successful," POTUS says when asked about the lessons of Hurricanes past. "I actually think it was one of the best jobs that's ever been done….Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success."

Oof.
First of all, "unsung success" isn't a thing, and second, no, it wasn't. https://t.co/bcTrpcp92B

Off-the-cuff Trump can get himself into trouble. As evidenced by the remarks above … and by this one about Hurricane Florence:

There’s a “That’s What She Said”-worthy quote if we ever heard one.
Is it too late to say that's what she said? https://t.co/IME731eOiy

Of course, even without the unintentional (we assume) sexual innuendo, Trump’s remarks are still special.
Just amazing! A hurricane that's wet!

Trump saying a hurricane is "tremendously wet" is the Trumpest.
