I wouldn't be surprised if the Left tries to blame Trump for what is going on in Venezuela...
Why can he not say he's sorry or he's sad for the loss of life? No. You will never hear that type of thing out of his mouth. He's incapable.

It's the tone deafness with which he has addressed the entire situation. There is plenty of fault to go around. But to say that PR was a unsung success, and then to not even express humility or offer condolences about those who died or their families is just so par for the course for him. His wiring is definitely faulty. As is the case of most sociopathic narcissists.

A hurricane to about to NC, suddenly we need to report different numbers for P.Rico interesting. What Trump should do? Normally most presidents wouldnt bother saying anything. Trump has to say something when he SAW a different STORY since he was actually talking to the people of PR and their government. Just saying.

The estimated number of fatalities that we were provided with in this time frame for Maria was well below 100, yet here we are about a year later and suddenly it's 30 times that initial estimate. This is akin to the official death toll of Katrina being 1800 only to have be upped a year later to 54,000.

Yeah, that sounds believable.
What part of no electricity, broken water pipes and limited services for upwards of 11 months now eludes you? Many people who survived the initial storm succumbed in the conditions of the aftermath.

And you are positive that he never, ever said 1 thing about the loss of life..not 1 thing? I think you are bereft of truth and boost yourself up at the expense of others..its always about you huh?

i agree that he is tone-deaf and could address his disagreement re: the number of victims far more constructively. he's so used to being under attack that he instantly attacks back.

He's denying those 3,000 American lives, simply because it takes away from his claim of "incredible success." He doesn't care about those Americans, he cares only about how it reflects on and takes the attention away from HIM.

It's despicable. And even Republicans are calling him out for it, saying the numbers are most likely correct. Can he not simply say how tragic it is that so many Americans died, and that we will do better going forward? That's what a human being with a shred of decency would say, especially as another hurricane is bearing down on us as we speak.

He's a waste of human flesh. As is everyone who defends him.

Sad one is forced to explain such a concept.
Ther in lies the Trump voter.

bingo.

So if it was NOT 3000 lives lost, then he should ignore it? Are you serious?

And what the hell are they basing that on? Did these RINOS do a body count?

Lets put it this way:

Lets say during Benghazi, FOX reports that 50 American fighters were killed.. And Hillary screams that it was only 4 that were killed, Would you call her a heartless beeyotch for saying that just to make her look better?
