1. Blatant lie, as usual

[Scarsdale]

15. Give Donnie Two Scoops a break.

It is hard to keep up with the news when you are on the golf course. Even harder when you do not give a damn anyway. Right??

[rzemanfl]

2. Ingrate.

[madaboutharry]

3. That really stood out for me.

How could all buildings have been inspected when roads are blocked and much of the island still isolate?

Trump is a liar.

[HipChick]

7. He is full of shit...and source of fake news himself..

[SwissTony]

10. And how dangerous would it be to inspect many of those buildings?

From the videos/photos I've seen, many of those buildings may well collapse further.

[malaise]

4. He just pulled another lie out of his ass

and what's more it was an obvious lie because we know there are places that have not been reached,

[Not Ruth]

5. Is "all buildings now inspected" anything like "all lives matter"?

Seems to have a white supremacist subtext

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Nah. Buildings (capital) matter more to tRump than "people" even if they matter more than hiSPanICs

... to tRump.

Capital trumps people in the view of the Narcissist in Chief.

[Girard442]

6. Yes, of course.

The inspectors who can't get to their jobs (if they survived) have inspected the buildings that no longer exist because they were destroyed and have filed their report via post or the internet, which are not working.

Trumpie, you're doing a heck of a job!

Scoop: Homeland security adviser pushes upbeat PR campaign for Puerto Rico

President Trump digs in this morning, tweeting: "We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico. Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates, ... people are now starting to recognize the amazing work that has been done by FEMA and our great Military."

In contrast to dire reports from the island, White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert sent West Wing colleagues an unusually upbeat update — leaked to Axios — that points to a rapid recovery no one on the ground is witnessing.
Keep reading 444 words

Bossert, back from a trip to Puerto Rico earlier in the week, says it's "still an urgent situation," but that the administration has "a strong ground game in place on the island with military leadership":

"I hope to turn the corner on our public communications ... I recommend that [this weekend] we use the general theme of supporting the governor and standing with the people of Puerto Rico to get them food, water, shelter and emergency medical care."
"Monday and Tuesday we can pivot hopefully to a theme of stabilizing as we address temporary housing and sustaining the flow of commodities and basic government services, including temporary power. After that we focus on restoration of basic services throughout next week and next weekend."
"Then we start a theme of recovery planning for the bright future that lies ahead for Puerto Rico. Planned hits, tweets, tv bookings and other work will limit the need for reactionary efforts."...........................

9. Donnie lies while Americans die.

Every American should bow their heads in shame.

[Leghorn21]

11. Oh noes, LOSER 45 will now have to delete the nice things he said about Gov. Rossello.

I mean it's just work work work, all the tweeting and de-tweeting this idiot has to keep track of.

[Madam45for2923]

12. In the middle of a crisis and he keeps LYING!

[Igel]

13. I suspect he means this.

Note that it says the photos are there, just not in the (publicly available?) interactive format.

To take him to mean that every building's had somebody check it for mold, fire safety, etc., is ridiculous. It's true that not every building in Houston's been "inspected" in that way.

Then again, he'd have been briefed and not involved in the actual checking of images, so maybe he does think every body's been entered and checked out.

14. You can pretty much bank that when he says "fake news"

Whatever he says after it is a work of fiction.
