President Donald Trump has doubled down on attacking a false report claiming around 3,000 people died at the hands of Hurricane Maria. The study, by the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University published a study claiming between Sep. 2017 and Feb. 2018 around 3,000 people died due to Hurricane Maria.
The university falsely stated 2,975 died in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. An official death toll released by Puerto Rico, before the release of the study revealed 64 died, according to ABC News. President Trump has slammed the phony report on Twitter, responding, "NO WAY!" Trump wrote, "'When Trump visited the island territory last October, OFFICIALS told him in a briefing 16 PEOPLE had died from Maria.' The Washington Post. This was long AFTER the hurricane took place. Over many months it went to 64 PEOPLE." Trump continued, "Then, like magic, '3000 PEOPLE KILLED.' They hired GWU Research to tell them how many people had died in Puerto Rico (how would they not know this?). This method was never done with previous hurricanes because other jurisdictions know how many people were killed. FIFTY TIMES LAST ORIGINAL NUMBER - NO WAY!"
