The President of the United States is a disgusting individual with a dysfunctional moral compass.

These facts, which we have known for a long time, bear underlining in light of his assertion that the official estimate of Puerto Rican hurricane dead is a fabrication, the result of an elaborate Democratic plot aimed at personally discrediting him. We do not repeat the exact words of the quote here so as not to help spread its destructive, fevered imaginings.

“Our estimates also considered Puerto Rico’s consistently high emigration during the prior decade and dramatic population displacement after the hurricane…
“For observed mortality, we used records for all deaths occurring from September 2017-February 2018. The estimates of excess all-cause mortality attributable to the hurricane are the result of comparing the projections for the census and displacement scenarios to observed mortality in the vital registration data.”
Because Donald Trump dislikes the conclusions, he spits insults at the experts who did the work. Because he fears the American people will conclude that he botched a big job, he tells sisters and brothers and daughters and sons of those whose loved ones died that their deepest personal losses are figments of their imagination.

His moral compass is giving guidance to the religious right.
