On Friday, the president announced billions in aid to Puerto Rico right before the election, claimed 100 million doses of coronavirus vaccines would be available by the end of the year, and said he thinks he knows better than his own experts much of the time.
"We've done more for Puerto Rico than anybody," Mr. Trump said of an island he once called "one of the most corrupt places on earth." Mr. Trump for years rejected the idea of additional aid for Puerto Rico.
Asked why he's pushing for the aid package now, so close to the election instead of a year ago, the president replied, "because what we're doing is we've been working on it for a long time."
Many Puerto Ricans live in Florida, where polls show Mr. Trump is toe-to-toe with Biden.
