Great news for them!
It's satire, but perhaps.

A slap on the moron's face indeed.

I am sure Trump will have something derogatory to say about Telemundo (with whom he has issues) since I am sure they will be trumpeting this all over the place.

FEMA buries PR status updates. Because, of course, they're in far worse shape than this corrupt administration is admitting.

CAGUAS, PUERTO RICO — At least 4,645 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria and its devastation across Puerto Rico last year, according to a new Harvard study released Tuesday, an estimate that far exceeds the official government death toll, which stands at 64.

That's 70X as many fatalities as the Dotard and his sycophantic minions would admit to.

You are TRULY a tool. The number of 64 is the number provided by the Puerto Rican gov't. Trump "and his sycophantic minions" had nothing to do with that number. Until the Puerto Rican gov't changes its count, it will remain at 64.

This isn't even a new story either. From your favorite paper earlier this year:

In a statement Monday, Rosselló said that he welcomes the news analyses but that the government "cannot base any official fatality related to the hurricane count on statistical analysis."

"Every life is more than a number, and every death must have a name and vital information attached to it, as well as an accurate accounting of the facts related to their passing," he said in the statement.

Rosselló provided a flowchart detailing the processes by which his government has been documenting the deaths using guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But in recent weeks, Puerto Rican government officials acknowledged failures in the documentation complicated by the telecommunications difficulties. As news reports questioning the official death toll emerged, members of Congress began calling for investigations into the death count.


I swear, if a meteor crashed into Mercury, you'd find a way to blame it on Trump "and his sycophantic minions".

The fact remains that thousand appear to have died and the limit of Presidential involvement was his vile display of throwing rolls of paper towels to a crowd. If this new death toll is even remotely true, far more people died in Puerto Rico than in New Orleans during Katrina and we don't hear a word about it from the Dotard or FEMA. Trump's too busy tweeting about Roseanne, attempting to undermine an investigation of Russian election meddling, leaking economic numbers and deliberately getting into trade wars. Sad.

Trump and friends are still trying to figure out how to make $$$ out of any relief. As soon as this happens hopefully help will be on the way.
