Washington, D.C.
It seems as though Donald Trump is no fan of the nation's mayors.
Hours after tweeting his displeasure with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz over her response to the crisis facing Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, the American President took to social media to criticize the mayor of the tiny village of Whoville.
In a series of tweets on Saturday morning, Trump said, "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 want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort."
The comments struck up a firestorm of controversy, with actor Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeting,"You're going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump. No long lines for you. Someone will say, 'Right this way, sir.' They'll clear a path."
Late Saturday evening, Trump was busy tweeting again, this time with strong words for Mayor Augustus Maywho, "Mayor of Whoville should be ashamed of himself for letting Grinch steal all the children's toys. So sad! Brutal leadership!"

"Very sad that Mayor Maywho can't stop GreenMan from attacking his village. This is what happens when you put a Democrat in office with a record of weak borders!"
As of press time, Mayor Maywho was unavailable for comment.
