President Trump met with local and federal officials in Puerto Rico today, and what was supposed to be a briefing on the ongoing situation on the island turned into Trump congratulating himself and the federal government for its response to the devastation.

It has been two weeks since Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm, ripped through the island, where more than half of the people still don’t have power, cell phone services, or running water.

And what did Trump have to say about it? “I hate to tell you Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack. But that’s fine.”

The president didn’t stop there, however. He went on to compare Puerto Rico to Hurricane Katrina based on how many people had died.

“If you look at the — every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds of people that died and what happened here with a storm that was just totally overbearing. No one has ever seen anything like that. What is your death count?” Trump said.

When Gov. Ricardo Rossello responded “Sixteen,” to Trump, he told the leaders that they “should be very proud of what’s taken place.”

Here’s what we know about the situation in Puerto Rico:

– 6.89% of the island has power

– 45% has potable water

– In the island’s north, 13% have safe water

– Flights are running at 25% capacity

– 27% of ATMs are operating

– Roughly 9,400 people are still living in shelters

– A majority of the island has little to no capacity to communicate

– In those temperatures, with areas of stagnant, often polluted water, health risks such as mosquito-borne illnesses spread at a fast rate
