So now the President of the United States is falsley claiming that a Democratic conspiracy is inflating the death toll of a hurricane that left thousands dead.







CONCLUSIONS
This household-based survey suggests that the number of excess deaths related to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico is more than 70 times the official estimate. (Funded by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and others.)

It was a Harvard study by physicians and public health experts. You're making light of people's deaths. You are cruel. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1803972

."....This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico! "

Yes... the Democrats ...to make you look bad. Those dead Puerto Ricans are just pining for the Fjords.
Every death has been manufactured in order to make you look bad. YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU.

This has to stop.

No wonder the staff is shrinking. Pretty soon it will just be tRump, Melania (if she has not split) and poor Barron and maybe the grounds keeper for the White House. tRump is a looney tunes character, and not the fun kind that makes us laugh.

Is there nothing that will compel the People with the power to remove this hideous error that has been thrust upon us?

Then there's Georgetown U and the Graduate school of Public Policy in Puerto Rico with 2,975.
Fuck this heartless fool. He's a raving self-absorbed lunatic.

This is just sick. Reminds me of Holocaust deniers of which Trump is almost certainly one. "Oh, we believe Jews were murdered, just that no way in those numbers, there weren't even 6 million Jews in Europe. And they were counting people Jews who died of natural causes."

Nothing is sacred to these people and the President is speaking from a position of extreme ignorance as usual.

Sounds like a very minor weather incident without much damage

Throwing a few extra rolls of paper towels should have done the trick




What a complete fucking moron

The Hurricane didn't cause deaths - Democrats invented fake deaths!


The man is sick. Truly sick.

are living in a nightmare. What kind of person would say that about the deaths of thousands. In his demented, unhinged mind he really believes it’s all about him. How much more can we endure?

STFU. You have no compassion and empathy for those who perished on your watch.

Ignorant POS he is.

His comment is to those who lost loved ones or friends. But how do you get to be 72 years old and not have the compassion of a gnat? He really is one for the books. And yes, there will be plenty of books written about him, which ordinarily would be flattering. Unfortunately for him, he is not going to like what they say about him. Good god, can you imagine how history will treat him? There have been people in history whose very name was an indictment. Benedict Arnold, Dr. Mudd come to mind. Soon tRump’s name will be added to that list.
