Unfortunately, President Trump is so threatened and wrapped up in his own conspiracy theories that he continues to refute the totality of Maria’s destruction, despite the overwhelming abundance of evidence to the contrary. In a statement on Sept. 13, President Trump falsely tweeted, “3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000.”
