So, I just read the feds are giving Puerto Rico $16B in aid. PR is eligible for $34B more through various grants. I think PR wants $94B. It'll be interesting to see if the PR government will access those funds (the $34B) or through sheer incompetence they'll let it go unclaimed.

I think part of that 16 billion, ~4B, is being used for just that.

16B in aid for 3 million people? WOW that is nothing. In 2005 congress approved 51 Billion dollars for New Orleans, a city of only 200,000 people.

Looks like President Lies is going with calling the death toll estimate a hoax. Fantastic.

I wrote my first post before Trump added that the Hurricane death toll is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats.

It's perfectly fine that we have a monster as president. Real good.

He's saying that every time someone died of old age in Puerto Rico this year, the Democrats would add that person to the death toll. I'm certain he didn't just come up with this theory on his own. I wonder who fed it to him, either Alex Jones or Sean Hannity probably.
