http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-hurricane-donald-20180913-story.htmlThe President of the United States is a disgusting individual with a dysfunctional moral compass.
These facts, which we have known for a long time, bear underlining in light of his assertion that the official estimate of Puerto Rican hurricane dead is a whole-cloth fabrication, the result of an elaborate Democratic plot aimed at personally discrediting him. We do not repeat the exact words of the quote here so as not to help spread its destructive, fevered imaginings.

(32,457 posts)Because Donald Trump dislikes the conclusions, he spits insults at the expert demographers who did the work. Because he fears the American people will reach the obvious conclusion that he botched a big job, he tells sisters and brothers and daughters and sons of those whose loved ones died that their deepest personal losses are figments of their imagination.
We have a President with chronic distemper who runs roughshod over the rule of law and democratic norms, but asks to be judged by results.
When the results do not fit the narrative he wishes to advance, he attacks facts as political fabrication.

(38,436 posts)is involved in doing so...I believe at least one thousand lives would have been saved, maybe 1500, maybe more. With helicopters to deliver food and supplies to those who needed them. Like you to in a hurricane,( to lift people off of the roofs ) but instead, delivering food and medical supplies to all that needed them. Also taking people to hospitals for those that needed that to be done.
One sad thing is for sure, Trump would have done that to save Mar A Lago, or whatever that rat hole is
