“Sorry. It was Ryan who said that, not Rubio.” Ryan doesn’t know squat about Puerto Rico. I did a little Googling on the PR death rate. And, it historically runs about 3,000 per month. Therefore, if the hurricane had caused 3,000 deaths the total for that month would have been about 6,000 deaths. Trump, in his typical fashion, should have done a little word-smithing prior to commenting on this. He so badly needs a word-whisperer. And, someone to scrub his texts. Aw sh!t, what the hell 🤯....

Absolutely not. Truth is a defense to libel, but not to media narratives. It was absolutely unnecessary for President Trump to have said anything when that newest report with “estimated deaths” came out. His Twitter account is his worst enemy (well, after Leftists and the media).
