Hurricane deaths were closer to FIVE THOUSAND, not 64. Trump lies again!

[tigerred59]

Hurricane Maria’s Death Toll Was Decades In The Making

Every death on the island is an indictment of years of political failure to foster health by improving conditions in the region.The New England Journal of Medicine released a study Tuesday estimating that at least 4,645 people died in Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. This death toll is more than 70 times the official government estimate of 64 people and is likely still only a fraction of the storm’s full human cost.

Just another example of whites only having use for people of color when it suits them....I wonder how many visits prior to this nightmare, has Trump and the well to do visited this usta be paradise island?

 

[norwegen]

People of color, eh?

Were these people of color unable to improve their condition? Maybe just unwilling?

I mean, they had decades. What the hell's the matter with them?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Every Puerto Rican I’ve met looked white to me

 

[pismoe]

[pismoe]

Republicans. Not all whites. Remember, there are liberal whites, gay white, scientists who are white. Republicans hate them all.

 

[TheOldSchool]

The GOP hates Puerto Rico and the U.S. citizens living there. But their malice during Maria will mean millions more Democratic votes as they leave the island for the mainland.

...and settle in some already-democrat-voting inner city shithole since that's where the welfare handouts are.

By far the biggest community of Puerto Ricans in the USA is NYC (6 times the size of #2). No reason to think they're going anywhere else.

The stampede of Puerto Ricans to Florida is bad news for Trump



You hoped they’d suffer and die in PR. They’ll remember that on election day.

That's just the closest place in the USA from Puerto Rico. It's where they end up years from now that will matter.

So hundreds of thousands of the less than 200,000 that moved to Florida will stay there? If you say so.
