President Trump praised Puerto Rico’s Gov. Ricardo Rossello on Saturday, just hours after he issued a scathing attack on San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. 

“The Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello, is a great guy and leader who is really working hard. Thank you Ricky!” the president tweeted.

Rossello has not been critical of the federal government’s recovery efforts and has praised the Trump administration, saying it has “responded to our petitions”. 

Trump also praised U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp (I) and Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón (R.).

Just spoke to Governor Kenneth Mapp of the U.S. Virgin Islands who stated that #FEMA and Military are doing a GREAT job! Thank you Governor!

Congresswoman Jennifer Gonzalez-Colon of Puerto Rico has been wonderful to deal with and a great representative of the people. Thank you!

The tweet comes hours after Trump ripped Cruz on Twitter, saying she has shown poor leadership as Puerto Rico struggles to recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Maria. 

The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.

…Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They….

…want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job.

Cruz had issued an emotional plea for help on Friday, and criticized the federal government’s relief efforts.

“I will do what I never thought I was going to do. I am begging, begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency,” she said. 

Puerto Ricans have struggled to receive basic necessities such as food, water and medicine as the island attempts to recover.
