Trump’s defense of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial joke about Puerto Rico highlighted his tendency to dismiss critiques as partisan attacks and reframe the narrative to focus on his own contributions. He stated, "I guess somebody put on a comedian and he joked. He was a comedian. He joked. He mentioned Puerto Rico. And all of a sudden the Democrats... they’re not good at anything. So let me just tell you, they come up, and a comedian put in early in the show."
Emphasizing his administration’s efforts post-hurricane, Trump asserted, "Nobody's been better to Puerto Rico than me. I saved Puerto Rico, when they had, they had some of the worst hurricanes. I brought in the hospital ship, the Mercy. I brought in this massive hospital ship. There's nobody, and Puerto Ricans will tell you that, nobody has done more for Puerto Rico than me."
