Dumbest, Insenstive thing, said this week, NOT said by Trump, but Elaine Duke...

but by someone he hired....Elaine Duke......from CBS News:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elaine-duke-calls-puerto-rico-response-good-news-story-hurricane-maria/

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke made the comment Thursday in the White House driveway, adding that "the relief effort is under control."

"I am very satisfied," Duke said. "I know it's a hard storm to recover from, but the amount of progress that's been made - and I really would appreciate any support that we get - I know it is really a good news story in terms of our ability to reach people and the limited number of deaths that have taken place in such a devastating hurricane."

Now the mayor of Puerto Rico has pointed this out, how ridiculous that statement is. But we all know the stupid and insensitive Trump always takes the cake on insensitivity and stupidity..But on Thursday, we have someone who for one day..said something so stupid that it deserves its own post...Elaine Duke hasn't got a clue..

But San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz heatedly denied that. She said on CNN: "This is a people-are-dying story."
