ROMANS: President Trump wheels up for Vegas in less than three hours, a day after his visit to Puerto Rico where the death toll there jumped from 34 to 16. Now, the president was briefed by local and federal officials. He stayed in a relatively affluent San Juan neighborhood. He handed out emergency supplies at a church, at one point tossing rolls of paper towels into the crowd. The president made headlines when he told hurricane victims they were a drain on the federal budget and he made a bizarre comparison to another natural disaster.</s>DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack because we've spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico and that's fine, we've saved a lot of lives. If you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here, what is your death count as of this moment, 17?</s>GOV. RICARDO ROSELLO (D), PUERTO RICO: Sixteen, certified.</s>TRUMP: Sixteen people, certified. Sixteen people versus in the thousands, you can be very proud.</s>ROMANS: Of course, the death toll is now 34. There are grave concerns about people who need dialysis and insulin who have not had those important medications for days now. Those remarks led the San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz to call Trump miscommunicator-in-chief. Of course, the two have a tense history. The president tweeted about her poor leadership after Cruz criticized the federal response. The president also raising the idea of wiping out Puerto Rico's debt. He tells FOX News, quote: We're going to work something out. We have to look at their whole debt structure. The White House releasing no further details. All right. Just about the top of the hour. EARLY START continues right now.</s>ROMANS: Brand new information about the Las Vegas gunman, how he planted cameras to watch police, how he altered his guns to fire so many shots.
