When Trump visited the island territory last October, OFFICIALS told him in a briefing 16 PEOPLE had died from Maria. The Washington Post. This was long AFTER the hurricane took place. Over many months it went to 64 PEOPLE. Then, like magic, 3000 PEOPLE KILLED. They hired....
10:05 PM - 14 Sep 2018
....GWU Research to tell them how many people had died in Puerto Rico (how would they not know this?). This method was never done with previous hurricanes because other jurisdictions know how many people were killed. FIFTY TIMES LAST ORIGINAL NUMBER - NO WAY! 10:23 PM - 14 Sep 2018
3000+ is a Media fantasy.
Just like DJT said:
Much later they simply threw in even folks who had died from OLD AGE.
It’s ridiculous, a great example of government wanting to profit via suffering, or simply by the perception of MORE suffering.
Like Chris Rock said of Jessie Jackson:
POVERTY PIMPS.
If you can’t put a name to the people that died, then, the number of “extimated” and reported dead is a fictitious number. LOGICALLY and without a doubt, those people didn’t die because of the storm, because, they didn’t exist and are just made up. The people at the world trade center who died because of the 9/11 attacks, were not estimated; they actually existed, and could be named; all of them.
MSM lies, again.
"It may be months before we have a truly accurate account of the lives lost from Hurricane Florence."
The 3,000 number came from a university computer simulation.
I agree——get the names-—and dates.

Ron DeSantis & Rick Scott, you both should be ashamed of yourselves. POTUS, Donald J. Trump knows & loves Puerto Ricans from his New York City upbringing and his business dealings in Puerto Rico. Trump has done more to rebuild Puerto Rico then the current Governor and Mayor of San Juan combined.
My family and I here in Florida are considering not voting for either of you come election day. We will just stay home and, let Florida go down the tubes as the socialist Democrats take over.
I have done all that I could to advance both DeSantis & Scott...no more, unless they publicly and openly apologize to POTUS, Doandl J. Trump.

Reminds me of the ‘study’, by a 9 year old kid, that ushered in the CA straw ban.
These people are idiots.
I am certain that if the 3000 death toll was true we would have heard, to the point of nausea, about all the funerals. After all, leftists never miss chance to exploit misery.
I plan on calling DeSantis’ office, on Monday, and relay about the same message.
I’m not if FL, but I CAN donate to whichever campaign I’d like to support.
And, it WON’T be DeSantis’, unless he QUICKLY does a public mea culpa.
2975 was an ESTIMATE using who knows what internet info. I know one thing though, coroners are the ones qualified to count the dead, not some dipshit sitting behind a computer.
How many of the missing Just moved away?
The kid said it would be a good idea to have a offer first policy. He noticed that 50% of people didnt even want a straw. So, the restaurant saved $ and there was a 50% reduction in straw garbage.
Cali took a good idea and twisted it a controlling and intrusive law.
Exactly——all in Florida now.

Hurricane Maria death toll controversy
"The goal of the report is to determine the number of excess deaths in the six months following the hurricane. This includes the number of directly- and indirectly-related fatalities.
