President Trump on Saturday, via Twitter, accused the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, of demonstrating "poor leadership" amid the deepening crisis on the island that was devastated by Hurricane Maria.
In a series of tweets, Trump suggested that the mayor was being manipulated by Democrats to "be nasty to Trump," and he called on Cruz to have her local officials do more to help the recovery.
Trump, who is scheduled to visit Puerto Rico and possibly the U.S. Virgin Islands on Tuesday, has come under increasing criticism for his administration's response to Maria. But the president also lashed out at "fake news" television networks, which he accused of criticizing federal relief workers as a way to punish him politically.
