Trump tours a PR hospital. It's been without power for two weeks after the hurricane. An elderly woman, dependent on dialysis, draws her last breath as her kidneys fail. Trump points at her and yells, "SHE DOESN'T COUNT! THE HURRICANE DIDN'T KILL HER, HER KIDNEYS DID! TAKE HER OFF THE LIST!"


... and that's "leadership," Trump-style.

LAWL.


Third topic on this subject. You guys know how to beat a dead horse so that nobody listens anymore.



The Puerto Rico government said the death toll was 64. The rest is MSM nonsense.

And what the hell are they basing that on? Did these RINOS do a body count?
"It was devastating. It was a horrible storm. I toured the entire island. It's an isolated island that lost its infrastructure and power for a long time, you couldn't get to people for a long time," Ryan said. "I have no reason to dispute those numbers," he added. "Those are just the facts of what happened."

No, I would say Fox was lying. Which is really no stretch of the imagination whatsoever as it would suit their agenda. However, an independent study had no reason to lie.

guess what guys..there is a storm hitting the east coast right now, and you're sitting here debating about the number of people killed in a storm a year ago!!!

That's part of the absurdity!

How?

And why did we find out about all these deaths almost a whole year later?

So in other words.

A failure of the local government to maintain any kind of modern response system consistent with the rest of the USA.

By your own words, those deaths were not caused by the storm.

It’s Exhibit A here on C-D. Their lack of empathy, paired with so few brain cells, are what bonds them to him. They think, act and relate to Drumpf in every way. I’m willing to bet every malignant narcissist and sociopath in America is a staunch Trump supporter.

Pathetic isn’t it?

This topic was pushed back into the limelight by the Left, not Trump. He was only responding to their attacks.
