Leaked audio from the 40-minute meeting at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters captured Trump musing about the cost of purchasing military equipment, attacking California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom, praising Foxconn for building a factory in Wisconsin and attempting to reassure his Cabinet members that they were very popular.
While speaking to the cameras for about 15 minutes, Trump briefly mentioned Puerto Rico and states hit by disasters, but didnt address the recent Harvard study that estimated nearly 5,000 deaths on the island may be linked to Maria. The governments official death toll from the storm was 64.
Trump did, however, thank FEMA officials and Cabinet members for their response to last years hurricane season.

(1,009 posts)so that the 5,000 that died in Puerto Rico wouldn't come up. I honestly think that when he goes on a long tangent that is what his mission is. It's like a double win - he gets to throw in jabs and his own accomplishments at the same time.

(8,964 posts)Trump has already given himself a "10" for Puerto Rico response, so why dwell on past trivialities when hurricane response for the current season can be brushed aside as well?
