The Media seems to be using the number 3,000 a awful lot concerning last year's Puerto Rico's Hurricane.
Hmm... 9/11 killed about ~ 3,000 people. It seems to me that with the MSM is trying to tie the two together to say:
" Donald Trump caused a 9/11 size event in Puerto Rico because he is racist ' stuff. "
The number 3,000 so soon after 9/11 just made my ears perk up.
Rush made the same comparison today.
Great minds, and yes it is as obvious as the Nose on your Face.
[ What do I think? I think Puerto Rico should be cut loose — “Hasta la vista, baby”. ]
I agree, they should be their own country and all citizens given X number of years ( 4-8) to stay Full US citizens and move to the US or stay and become citizens of the Republic of Puerto Rico.

Wow, I didn’t catch Rush today, but I will now! THANKS!
Deaths for previous hurricanes have never been calculated this way, DOUBLE STANDARDS in play!
3000 people died within six months after the hurricane......just curious, what is the approximate normal death rate for a country ?the size of Puerto Rico

The left’s lack of tact never surprises me...

Lower than Chicago per capita PER YEAR... even WITH THE HURRICANE!!!
Rush and Lou Dobbs have shredded this lie. That DeSantis, who would be absolutely nothing without Trump, would take the side of the lying ass democrats is low as a politician can go. The same for Rick Scott. Watch both lose to democrats for pissing off Trump voters. Both are idiots.
First of all disasters don’t kill in round numbers.
Secondly do you think for 1/10 of a second, if there were 3000 dead and merges overfilled and mass graves, that ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC & Fox would not be providing 24/7 coverage? They have to invent made up crap about Trump to try to humiliate him..
Of course, but the Left is looking for it’s Katrina moment.
But they have reached the highest level they can go.

Exactly my point, they made up the 3,000 number for it’s impact against Trump.
45 seems to have a gift for bringing out true natures.
You nailed it. Pictures of Puerto Rico’s electrical system looked like something out of Pakistan and pretty much operated like one .... nobody paid and the utility operated like a charity ... it was bankrupt. Utilities from the US had to rebuild it from scratch.
I quickly sent an email to his campaign.
Good! Someone gave him and Scott some bad advise, pandering to the PR’s who aren’t going to vote for them anyway!
Trump’s focus should have been on the pre-existing incompetency of the corrupt, Democrat-led local Puerto Rican government. Puerto Rico had a LOT of problems prior to the Hurricane. LOTSA failed left wing policies. Left wing governments cannot handle tests like natural disasters. Do we want an America run like Puerto Rico? That’s what should be highlighted.
Just truing to deflect that the leadership of PR is so vile and dishonest that it withheld and delayed much help when it was initially made available and the fact that the electric grid is still not right while they have stockpiled equipment/materials for it in warehouses instead of making it available to the workers trying to restore electric power...no different than the latest crap about some decades-long snowflake supposedly being treated poorly ‘in a sexual way” by Kavanaugh...any lie to delay the inevitable good Trump has been doing for We the people....
Average death rate per 100K is around 730 in the US. Puerto Rico has a bit over 3M residents. That would be around 22K per year.
