Donald Trump slammed the mayor of San Juan for "poor leadership ability" on Twitter Saturday morning, and Hollywood stars including Chris Evans, Lady Gaga and Lin-Manuel Miranda -- who is of Puerto Rican descent -- are slamming the president right back.
"She has been working 24/7. You have been GOLFING. You're going straight to hell. Fastest golf cart you ever took," the "Hamilton" creator tweeted.
Trump's cranky tweets came after San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz made a public plea for POTUS to pay attention to the U.S. territory in a news conference on Friday. "We are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy," Cruz said.

View Story"This is what we got last night," she continued. "Four pallets of water, three pallets of meals and 12 pallets of infant food, which I gave them to the people of Comerio, where people are drinking off a creek. So I am done being polite. I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell."
Instead of taking action, Trump criticized Puerto Rican officials and accused Democrats of telling Cruz, "You must be nasty to Trump."
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.
@realDonaldTrump
...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....
@realDonaldTrump
...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.
@realDonaldTrump
Read what Hollywood has to say about the public debate:
You're going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump.
@Lin_Manuel
No long lines for you.
Someone will say, "Right this way, sir."
They'll clear a path. https://t.co/xXfJH0KJmw
She has been working 24/7.
@Lin_Manuel
You have been GOLFING.
You're going straight to hell.
Fastest golf cart you ever took. https://t.co/5hOY23MBvQ
Did you tweet this one from the first hole, 18th hole, or the club?
@Lin_Manuel
Anyway, it's a lie. You're a congenital liar.https://t.co/pxx7qvHPdf https://t.co/edFgHSHe3y

No matter who you are, please remember the actions of this President today when it comes time to vote in 2020. He needs to go. #PuertoRico
@ambertamblyn
Yeah, the Mayor of a devastated American Territory is the one showing poor leadership. Get off your ass @IvankaTrump & help these Americans https://t.co/x0ADbMdrWG
@kalpenn
If you still support this person it is time to get off the train. He's attacking his own people when they need him the most https://t.co/eLRWg8dRLU

Which one is “nasty” and is showing “poor leadership?” You decide. pic.twitter.com/UEsJq0d3Bt

It's worth asking why we spend $600 billion a year on the military if we can't get more than 5000 troops and 50 helicopters to Puerto Rico.

I am speechless at @Potus attacking mayor of San Juan as she wades throughout sewage trying to help ppl. He cares about nothing but himself
@kurteichenwald
.@CarmenYulinCruz I see you, I hear you, I love you. You're a hero.
@TheEllenShow
Power in the hands of the selfish is useless to everyone else. Calling a woman Nasty when she is desperately begging for help is repulsive.

Trump's the kind of guy who if his wife yelled at him during childbirth would call her a fat cow & storm out of the room. #supportmayorcruz
@paulfeig
Trump complains the folks in Puerto Rico want “everything done for them”—as he pushes a button in the Oval Office to order a Diet Coke.
@GeorgeTakei
ASSHOLE.

Think about it. Donald Trump is sitting in his disgusting golf club rage tweeting at a woman trying to save the lives of her people.
