If Trump was there a week or so after the storm and only about 18 or so were dead, then how do you rate the death of someone a month later that had no electricity, was sleeping under a cardboard roof and was cleaning up in 100 degree heat and died? Did the storm kill him, or just living the life in PR kill him? Give it two weeks to count drowning victims that had to be found or maybe the wounded that got sepsis and then double that number and you still don't get to 100 people. I'm sure with no electricity, no fans or air cond, no refers to cool food, no pumps to drain water, and a lot of manual labor on a bunch of old people, you're going to have some heart attacks. Is dying from cancer because the hospital is on generators a cause? How would Trump fix this? The money was sent. The locals stole it. Is that Trumps fault?
I live in Texas and have gone through many hurricanes. A storm is a gaping hole that you throw money in until the thieves have no more places to put it. Private companies work overtime to get things going. The gubmint stands around pointing at the problem with a clipboard. PR was a basket case before the storm hit and now they want gold plated poles and generators to get ready for the next socialist moron to drain the money supply. If you look at the money we send to these hell holes, divide the money by the residents and we could usually give each person a million dollars and save money. With a million, they could move to Florida or start a new business in PR.

Don’t forget, in that newly released study of Hurricane Maria deaths, they included the New YoRicans. lol. A New YoRicans is a New Yorker of PR decent who HAS NEVER SET FOOT ON THE ISLAND! But claims to be Puerto Rican.

Thats what she wants. Getting a nasty Twittergram from POTUS gets her bug eyed little wild Leftist ass back on the front page

Puerto Rico is to blame, it’s Puerto Rico where this happened and their lack of infrastructure and poor government oversight and management.

She also said her parents lived in a slum tenement when she was born. Anyone from daBronx knows the Parkchester Houses are like Trump Towers compared to the south Bronx. And they’re rather pricey condos since the complex was landmarked because of it’s prewar art deco architecture.

NOW she cares about her (alleged) grandfather in PR...About as much as Obama cared about his brother in Africa.

They keep quoting Trump, so they know he said “in the storm”, not “in the aftermath of the storm”. They just don’t care.
And why didn’t she save her grandfather? She has a ton of money, she’s wearing $3500 outfits, and she couldn’t be bothered to buy him a plane ticket and put him up in her place?
