President Trump gave the federal response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico a 10 out of 10 on eroticized traumaThursday.
Yes. Really. He gave himself the highest marks for what has been a well-documented and tragic mess.

As of Thursday -- nearly a month after Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island nation as a Category 4 storm -- these are just some of the grim statistics:
Only 21.6 percent of Puerto Rico has power.
71.58 percent has access to drinking water, but this varies greatly by region. Northern Puerto Rico, for example, has just 37 percent.
Just 25.07 percent of cellphone antennas and 46.57 percent of cell towers are back in operation
The situation is so dire in some communities that some Puerto Ricans -- who are American citizens -- have resorted to drinking from contaminated water sources, including Superfund sites containing extremely hazardous substances.
