Trump’s self-obsessed lie about the death toll of Hurricane Maria is not going over all that well.
BREAKING: Pres. Trump rejects independent study that reports an estimated 2,975 people died in Puerto Rico in 5 months after Hurricane Maria; provides no evidence to discount the study; declares, without evidence, that the higher death toll is political ploy to make him look bad.

I’m not gonna quote tweet the Bad Man’s comments on Puerto Rico, but you all know he’s lying, right?
*Planet Earth nods, shakes its collective head*
Yeah, okay. #2975https://t.co/HvZj7TEkTK— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) September 13, 2018
Wherein the president dismisses the official government of Puerto Rico death count from the 2017 hurricanes and their aftermath as a political plot against him.
Apparently of the belief that the death toll is about him and not about approximately 3,000 dead American citizens. https://t.co/dfZgojf8G4

No death is partisan and our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico deserved better from @realDonaldTrump before, during, and after the hurricane.

You can try and ignore the numbers, @realDonaldTrump. But you can’t ignore their stories. I heard so many from my constituents in the days after Hurricane Maria. People with family and friends in Puerto Rico who were desperate for information about their loved ones. pic.twitter.com/xY7WaNe3AU

Those 3,000 dead people were some of the same illegal immigrants that voted for Hillary!!11!! Come to think of it, they were also probably some of the same crisis actors who’ve been pretending to be school shooting victims, too!!
The Atomic Combeover’s reputation is at stake (or steak?) Better launch an inquiry into this!
I’m hoping it will result in some Florida Republicans losing their races: https://shareblue.com/florida-republicans-run-from-trumps-dismissal-of-3000-dead-americans/
Trump is Badman, Pence is Subparman – not exactly the world’s finest.

Seth Meyers, on Late Night With..
There’s more, including Stephen Colbert on Trump wanting braille removed from the elevators in his gilded monstrosity because ‘blind people don’t live in Trump Towers’.
