Trump will still give himself a 10/10, because these people don't really count.

The Puerto Rico government now acknowledges that more than 1,400 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria. But the official death toll is still 64. Containers of aid designated for Puerto Rico hurricane victims were left undistributed in containers, some of them infested by rats. Now some of them have been found rotting in a parking lot. hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/29690/louisiana-sinks-obama-putts?page=1

From the Politico piece cited on the other thread:
Trump’s disregard for diplomatic convention can have some unexpected — even humanitarian — results. After a major foreign earthquake last year, Trump told aides he wanted to send a fleet of aid-bearing Air Force planes to the scene immediately, according to a former national security official.
“And everybody’s like, that’s not appropriate, wait until [that] government asks us for stuff, they may not need these planes,” the official said. “‘No, I want to send something now,’” Trump insisted.
Doesn't apply to U.S. territories, I guess.

The study was commissioned by the Puerto Rican government after the September 2017 storm. The latest estimated death toll is far higher than the current official toll of 64.

Idk, but maybe Congress should do some sort of investigation to figure out what happened here considering a lot of these deaths came during the response period?

If we've learned anything from the recent Cohen and Manafort convictions, anything Congress uncovered about the response wouldn't matter because it's not about Russia.

That's why we have to vote (R) in November, so we don't have to worry about those dastardly investigations into government incompetence.

Puerto Rico's new Hurricane Maria death toll is 46 times higher than the government's previous count cnn.it/2omdDMI This White House and his allies in the MAGA media spent more time attacking this woman and others who were raising the alarm than getting down to the bottom of what happened here....

“President Trump, who has overseen his own hurricane crisis after last year’s storms in Texas and Puerto Rico, has largely escaped the presidency-defining censure that dogged Mr. Bush after Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Trump’s scandal-plagued presidency has benefited from a deliberate pattern of diversion and the deep executive dysfunction he has created in the federal government.“
”Under his tenure, the president has given the impression it is not the White House’s job to coordinate w/federal agencies and that by extension, he does not own his agencies’ failures. This shouldn’t stand.”
Conservatives have had more to say about Ryan Gosling's comments on Neil Armstrong than this. Can we get A hearing? Conduct some sort of oversight? Idk, maybe try and analyze what happened here so it doesn't happen again?
The death toll is 3,000, these people deserve better than this. Their lives matter.
