Article snippet: President Trump on Thursday said that he has taken better care of Puerto Rico than "any living human being," renewing his clash with officials on the island over his administration's response to Hurricane Maria. "Puerto Rico has been taken care of better by a sticking point for senators working to pass a package to provide recovery money for a recent spate of hurricanes, storms and wildfires. Trump has stirred controversy multiple times in the roughly 18 months since Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico by adamantly defending his administration's role in recovery efforts. He has previously called the government's response "fantastic," an "unsung success" and graded it a "10." A study commissioned by the Puerto Rican government found that nearly 3,000 people died as a result of the storm. The island adopted that as the official death toll, increasing it from 64. Trump later claimed without evidence that the numbers were inflated to make him look bad. In the wake of Trump's latest remarks criticizing officials on the island, Rosselló urged the president to visit the area and "stop listening to ignorant and completely wrong advice." “Mr. President: Enough with the insults and demeaning mischaracterizations," Rosselló said. "We are not your political adversaries; we are your citizens."
