bad call to stick with this

it's a losing false narrative that won't end well

Bush got destroyed over far less than what the President has already put out

he also should really be more careful talking about the current hurricane

setting very high expectations with his tweets and spoken words patting himself on the back before it hits and it will come back and bite him in the ass

It's not the moral or strong leadership way to go about these disasters and it's a terrible political fight that he should not be starting in regards to Puerto Rico

Should the hills we die on be decided by facts/science or by political expediency/pragmatism?
A bunch of sociologists pushing obviously bunk science that gets amplified by the media echo chamber is just as wrong no matter how loud the cacophony gets.

Lets say he picks this fight, and it winds up becoming an issue of "Where are the bodies" and "Can you name more than 64 names"? What happens then?
What was the actual cause of death of Ocasio-Cortez's grandfather? That one could backfire sooner

have fun with that

I think Trump is right about inaccurate body count.
I don't know where, but I said so a week ago in PaRD?

It just seems weird when a body count goes from 64 to almost 3000 with no numbers in between.

Democrats mad that they're wrong again about something else. So they deflect and say "derp youre so rude!"

studied excess deaths you can find online more detailed info on how they went about it

it's not a firm number it could be less than the adopted or more but most outside of the Trump clan accept at the minimum hundreds and hundreds of deaths

it's not a smart fight for a guy trying to give himself an A+ response to a destroyed area full of devastated people

not smart as in the way he approached it like usual. His fans will pretend this will be some great chess move but it's a terrible leadership decision and not anything Republicans want to engage in heading into the midterms for sure

making it a -democrats are out to get me boo hoo- while denying deaths as people suffer isn't anything most on the right want anything to do with

I posted the actual academic news study in duffman's thread

Its bullshit news coverage

Not a statistical argument

truth is not truth

Shitpost are still shitposts though
