Bzzt, not fake news by the Trumper. Democrats are indeed using Purto Rico as a tool to try to make Trump look bad.
... a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...
.....This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible...
But that's not what he said.
He said:
So, unless you agree that the official death toll from Puerto Rico itself and at least two academic studies are all "done by the Democrats", I'm afraid it is indeed the fakest of fake news.
Actually I did. Even it says two studies were carried out by universities:Since you didn't click the link, here's a snippet.
andHarvard study published in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated the number of deaths from Hurricane Maria at 4,645
Last month, a new study was produced by George Washington University that estimated the “excess mortality” from Hurricane Maria over a six-month period at 2,975 within a 95% confidence interval of 2,658-3,290 “excess” deaths.
So even your beloved Breitbart isn't claiming the death toll figures were "done by the Democrats".
