The accusation is that Trump is deliberately low-balling the body count in Puerto Rico for purely political reasons:

People dying and Trump threatens to cut off their disaster assistance. What country do I live in again?

We live in a country that is concerned that the aid is being purposely withheld from the victims for political reasons.

We also live in a country where the dems have selective memory, because this has already been discussed.

Sadly we are also living in a country where the FBI is investigating PR for corruption

I don't think he's hiding anything. He simply cannot count.

So what's the real body count?

And is it higher or lower than Hillary's count?

Trump said 16.

A news outlet interviewed a doctor returning to the mainland: "News media in Puerto Rico suggest that 300 bodies are unprocessed, and scores of people are unaccounted for, likely drowning victims whose bodies have not been found... “There are probably many still undiscovered bodies,” Julio said. “I’m betting 700 to 1,000, but I hope I’m wrong.”

Ok.

I guess we'll see.

Unless the Russians hack the numbers.

A lot of people have left to come to the US. If they still want their welfare checks we will hear from them.

I am expecting more. In hurricane Andrew they reported some number under 50 if that. So speaking few years later with some Red Cross person, he said well over 3000 people were never located and there was little mention of body parts in the news. Water, mud, winds and wild animals - can take you out of existence

I agree, the body count will go up. But the issue isn't the number -- it's the alleged coverup. FEMA was caught scrubbing their website by the Washington Post.
