Trump rejects Puerto Rico hurricane latest death toll

Trump in his tweets blamed Democrats for inflating the numbers.

A 78 year-old man died while trying to plug in a generator, reportedly connecting two extension cords outside in the rain.

Today I was supposed to write about how children in Puerto Rico are still struggling to overcome the trauma of Hurricane Maria, their lives completely changed by the loved ones they lost and the destruction they faced in the aftermath of the storm.

Trump was widely panned for his insensitive tweets.

“That is the official death toll. and yet our deranged president doesn’t believe it”, he said. “But you know it’s a little bit kind of like frustrating that the topic keeps coming and coming and coming”. In a September 13 article, Rogers noted that the research methods George Washington University used in Puerto Rico were totally scientific and asserted, “In dismissing the conclusions of well-conducted research on the toll in Puerto Rico, the president is doing more than insulting the memories of the dead”. Over many months it went to 64 PEOPLE.

Death figures were estimated by looking at mortality between September 2017 and February 2018, as well as modelling data for population trends, emigration and displacement. He has since sought to minimise the death toll.

The politics of the Thursday-morning tweets are rough. Puerto Ricans are a key potential voting bloc in Florida’s closely contested elections. Instead, the recovery effort has devolved into a political tug-of-war that now includes debate over “legitimate” deaths from this tragedy. “It is not”, she said on her official Twitter account.

“During our broader study, we found that many physicians were not oriented in the appropriate certification protocol”, according to the report from the researchers at GWU.

“You will never take away our self respect”.

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello also has criticized Trump for not providing additional federal funds still needed for emergency housing and debris removal.

“We stand by the science underlying our study”, the statement said.

Cora, who was a coach in Houston last season, was not among the Astros contingent to visit the White House and President Trump in March after their World Series title in 2017.

What’s the U.S. political reaction?

“I just wanna state that not only is this a sickening tweet, [but] it is in no way true”, the comedian said during his opening monologue on Thursday night.

“Casualties don’t make a person look bad”, House Speaker Paul Ryan said, breaking with the president. “It was devastating. It was a terrible storm”. And that’s really no one’s fault. “That is just what happened”.

Maria came after two other deadly storms – Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida.

Chavez said he was in contact with FEMA and the Department of Health to test the water.
