Okay, the media and GWU Research says 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico as a result of the Trump administration 2017 hurricane response. Fine, where is the list? Has anyone seen a list of these 3,000 victims? Names, dates, locations, and cause of death?
There are no 3,000 deaths...there never were 3,000 deaths. Those reported deaths by the Governor of Puerto Rico and the Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Progressive Mayor of San Juan, PR, are nothing but figments of imagination in the the minds of these two incompetent, failed politicians.
The people of Puerto Rico and the millions Puerto Ricans, over the years that scurried away from PR to make lives and homes in the continental USA, know very well the evil, painful, economic shortcomings of governance in PR. They all headed for the promised land, the USA where they could make something out of themselves, which they did by the millions, just as Mexican-Americans & Cuban-Americans have also done.
The Puerto Ricans, here in the US and in PR will never have a better friend and ally in the USA Whitehouse like POTUS, Donald J. Trump. Remember, Puerto Ricans, PR is a stand alone island in the Caribbean Sea many miles from the shore of Florida and the USA. Trump ordered and commanded massive air & sea military, electric power repair from the USA, that had to flown in or arrive by ship, and commercial forces into action to assist, keep safe, feed & house, restore electrical power, and protect the island. This he, Trump did, not your elected low life Democrat failed scum and vermin so-called leaders.
This question is simple and provides the answer...”How many Puerto Rican-American citizens fled the island of PR and are now living in the continental USA, and how many Puerto Rican_Americans remained in PR? Had Trump not taken the immediate actions he did, the magnificent, beautiful paradise of PR would have died in the ocean...killed by your duly elected failed, Governor of PR and Mayor of San Juan, PR. Wake up Puerto Ricans...all!!! Case closed!!!
Wouldn’t 3,000 dead people be a huge percentage of the people of Puerto Rico?
Well, THEY (BClinton and Obama) did have a shot at it. Fortunately, their consort minion (HClinton)couldn't make it.
I think there are 5-7 million Puerto Ricans, about half in Puerto Rico and the rest mostly in New York and Florida. Looking at various websites the data varies quite a bit.

We absolutely need that since a lot of them are collecting benefits in Florida
Apparently no Juan can tell us.
Democrats think they’re pulling one over on Trump.
But, if they were to think about it, the number of deaths they came up with, is an indictment against their policies and governance of the island. Puerto Rico’s infrastructure and the inhabitants unpreparedness, are all indictments of how poorly the democratic policies were and are, and the damage is wholly the fault of the lack of leadership that has had the islanders prisoners of the economic disasters that the liberal/socialist policies of democrats have brought to the island.
The lack of infrastructure and the poverty and the lack of preparations, all point back to the democrats. Trump was president for a mere 8 months, and the damage that was impacted on P.R. all occurred on the democrats’ watch.
Trump and republicans should be turning these phony accusations and finger-pointing right back at the democrats.
No for 2 and 3.
2) Stupidity. You were told of danger of flooding and should have evacuated long before the water was able to wash a house away. Just like someone who drives into deep water an drowns.
3) Stupidity. You didn’t read the safety warnings that came with the generator. Also if you die from CO from a generator.
1 Yes, since you don’t need a hurricane to drop a tree. Even a 50 mi/h gust can do it.
Don’t need it
64 was the official number, bodies that were recovered.
President Trump is not responsible for the storm
The response was great considering the factors involved.
It is insulting the Puerto Rican government would commission this study at $300,000 while begging for money that they are broke.
We need to point that fact. Don’t argue the numbers, it is stupid, argue the point that the Puerto Rican government spent $300,000 for a piece of propaganda while claiming to be broke.
Good point.
Life Insurance payments if applicable.
This is another scam by the incompetent politicians in PR.
BTTT!
Donald Trump took away all of their pens and pencils and paper. Trump has also forced them to eat everything else that can be written on.
Thats why there is no list. Trump banned lists and reading and writing for all Puerto Ricans because he is racist and so are you.

I know this 3,000 number came from vague models, not actual data. I admit I know very little about the calculations.
But I was wondering about the Puerto Ricans who left there to come to America permanently during and after the hurricane. Is that number being considered in the models and maybe they’re in the total presumed dead? Like I said, I’m clueless, but still...
If those people aren’t dying in P.R. now but live in the USA instead, that might bugger the numbers.
Off topic to this discussion is the the number of births in Puerto Rico has gone from 42,000 in 2011 to 28,000 in 2017. That is a huge drop, especially for a Hispanic population. There were actually more deaths than births in 2016 to 2017 (pre Maria). [Census data is either as of July 1 or for July to June of a year.] This was not a one time drop, but is a gradual decline.
This is on top of the out migration that has been happening for the last several years. The total poulation went from 3.7 million in 2010 to 3.3 million in 2017.
You really could not do a proper statistical analysis for a least a year after the event. You would need to look at the both and death info for the years before, during and after.
10. Man dies waiting for government bus to evacuate him.
11. Man killed by gangs in government evacuation facility.

Why thousands have already died during the Florence hurricane/storm.... most by looters.

If you live in Puerto Rico you learn how to protect yourself from these hurricanes. It’s not like they haven’t seen these storms before.
I’m glad Trump exposed the fraud.
