(New York Daily News) – A picture is worth a thousand words.

Former Governor of Puerto Rico Alejandro García Padilla took a jab at President Trump on Twitter following comments the President made about the United States’ relief efforts on the island.

Padilla questioned Trump’s rating of his performance as a “10,” showing a group of surgeons operating on a patient using only light from their cell phones and flashlights more than one month after Hurricane Maria.

It’s unclear where the photo, which has been widely circulated on Twitter, originated from.

In addition to retweeting the image, a number of Twitter users shared their own outrage over the lack of aid Puerto Rico has received in the weeks since the hurricane.

Many were quick to point out that about 28% of the island is still without running water. Nearly 90% of the island is without electricity.

Trump, often quick to respond to critics on Twitter, has yet to take aim at Padilla.

On Oct. 19, however, he gave himself a hearty pat on the back for his handling of recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.

“I would give myself a 10,” he said.

“I think we’ve done a really great job and we’ve had tremendous cooperation from the governor and we are getting there and people are really seeing the effort that’s been put into Puerto Rico.”

A week prior, Trump tweeted that Washington couldn’t continue to help Puerto Rico “forever.” [more]
