New Study: Hurricane Maria Killed 75 Times More Puerto Ricans Than the Government Has Admitted



https://www.motherjo...ernment-claims/

(Mother Jones) A new study published Tuesday estimates that Hurricane Maria killed over 5,000 people after striking Puerto Rico last September. That’s more than 75 times higher than the island’s previous official count, and if widely accepted would cement the storm as one of the most deadly natural disasters to ever affect US citizens.

This and this alone is enough for Trump to be considered a monster in the history books and a failed leader. George w Bush was attacked for what he did with Katrina but at least he tried and sent the aid that was needed for the people of the Gulf coast. What Trump did with Puerto Rico is evil as he allowed American citizens to suffer and die without a thought.

Puerto Rico says to receive $16 billion in federal disaster aid

My friends. We must demand that our leaders have humanity. This is simply unacceptable and even evil within my mind.

Oh, shut up.

You!

He didn't send the aid and he fucked around. YOu can bet your sweet ass that if this was Obama that you'd be bitching for his impeachment over this.

You pathetic soul. You are completely full of shit. Stop lying.

All the aid was sent. The problem was with the delivery on the island because so many roads were unpassable. So FEMA and others started air lifts.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico --
About two dozen Puerto Rico Air National Guard airmen used what was the first or second day off most of them have had since Hurricane Maria hit the island some three weeks ago to team up with other volunteers to deliver food and water to as many as 1,000 people in the island's mountainous interior.

Traveling in their personal vehicles through the sparsely populated regions of the Orocovis municipality in the center of the island, the airmen went door to door offering jugs of water, bags of food and -- perhaps most important of all -- a compassionate ear and a kind word.
