White House press secretary: Trump getting daily updates on Puerto Rico

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 09/30/17 11:17 AM EDT
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Saturday pushed back on criticism of the administration's response to a natural disaster in Puerto Rico and defended President Trump as informed on ongoing hurricane relief efforts.
Trump "has been updated daily on efforts by Gen Kelly and @fema," Sanders tweeted, referring to the White House chief of staff John Kelly and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
She also denied the veracity of a Washington Post report that claimed that recovery efforts on Puerto Rico were hampered in part by Trump's excursion last weekend to his resort in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The Post reported on Friday that Trump and his team effectively "went dark" after departing for Bedminster last Thursday night before Friday night's political rally in Alabama. Sanders said the Post's story was "false," and that Trump has been receiving "daily" updates on the status of recovery efforts on the island territory.

Donnie should be in the Situation Room or on standby every minute, seeing what else can be done, taking calls, solving problems. That's what Obama would be doing.
