On behalf of all the people in Texas and all of the people of ― if you look today and you see whats happening, how horrible it is, but we have it under really great control ― Puerto Rico, and the people of Florida who have suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes. I want to just remember them, Trump said.
And were going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much that we love, a part of our great state, really a part of our great nation, he added, before pivoting to talking about golf. And Ill tell you what ― Ive been watching this thing from the beginning. And I have to say, our Team USA, wow, did you play well.
Only 5 percent of Puerto Ricos electrical grid is back up and running, and it could be months before residents get regular service back. More than half the U.S. territory remains without drinking water.
Trump is the first sitting U.S. president to present the trophy to the winning team, and the first sitting president to attend since 2000.
Trump, however, loves golf. Last weekend, as the crisis in Puerto Rico was unfolding, the president spent time at his own private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Trump was there this weekend as well.
