When President Trump arrived in Puerto Rico in October, about two weeks after Hurricane Maria hit the island, the commonwealth was still in the early stages of its recovery. During that visit, Trump praised the efforts of federal workers to aid the island and celebrated the low death toll. 3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. I love Puerto Rico! And it’s one reason Trump’s attempt to debate away the Puerto Rican death toll is so unusual.
