San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, who had previously said her criticisms of the federal government's handling of Hurricane Maria relief were about saving lives and "not about politics," took a shot at President Donald Trump by wearing a shirt that read "NASTY" on it during a Univision interview.
When asked by host Jorge Ramos what the significance of her "nasty" shirt was, the mayor said it was a reference to Trump referring to her as a "nasty mayor." The interview was posted Wednesday to Univision's AlPunto Twitter account.
She went on to claim that Trump was the one who is "nasty."
"When someone is bothered by someone claiming lack water for drinking, lack of medicine for the sick, and lack of food for the hungry, that person has problems too deep to be explained in an interview," Cruz said in Spanish. "What is really nasty is that anyone would turn their back on the Puerto Rican people."
Trump criticized the mayor and her "poor leadership ability" last weekend, tweeting, "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."

The problem in Puerto Rico is lack of drinking water, food to eat, medical care, electricity, shelter and money, but it’s apparently very easy to get a T-Shirt printed.............
Very good point.

It is not obvious to me why wearing a shirt that describes your own personality trait constitutes "taking a shot at President Donald Trump".
That stupid woman does not understand she has already lost. But what the hell, as long as your enemy is digging their own political grave do not take their shovel away from them.
I wish some reporter would ask her where she is getting all these custom made t-shirts from? Oh and the hats too.
I have gotten custom Tshirts like that. In my case, it cost about $35-$40 and the turnaround time to my doorstep was about 5 days. The tshirts are made with poor quality stitching, which together with the print design does survive intact after about 3 washings.
One surmise is that she could have a well-to-do, politically connected lib female friend. Any guy that sends any female a “NASTY” t-shirt is asking for trouble, no matter who it is. And her psychologist husband would probably not risk doing it if he has a practice or if he is employed in a professional capacity in any legit organization, since he is probably better off not getting politics mixed with his job. Since she has been in the liberal-bubble-sphere for all of her adult life, it could also be that her female friend is a college alumni, esp. a fellow female CMU grad school alumni.
Anyway, this is IMHO a mildly virulent form of femi-nazi value signaling. We, the unwashed masses, are expected to sympathize with her empowered womyn stand against the recognized archetypal MCP (dating myself here) Trump.
Trump probably gets tons of hate mail from feminazis with similar language at the WH. It probably represented a 180 degree flip from when he was in private life and CEO of his multi-million corporations, LOL.
