Mueller report. OP/ED

[Amarok]

What has trump lied about? what has trump got wrong?...Again share with me SOMETHING factual and I will help you see (with documentation) a fake news spin.

Ok, spin this:

From Trump, 2 April of this year:

Puerto Rico got 91 Billion Dollars for the hurricane, more money than has ever been gotten for a hurricane before, & all their local politicians do is complain & ask for more money. The pols are grossly incompetent, spend the money foolishly or corruptly, & only take from USA....

Politifact:

Puerto Rico has not received $91 billion...The federal government’s recovery website shows $40.7 billion has been allocated (Congress appropriated the spending) through December 2018. Of that, $19.4 billion has been obligated (the government has promised to spend the money) and of that $11.2 billion has been spent...A senior administration official told PolitiFact that Trump arrived at the $91 billion figure by combining the roughly $41 billion already allocated with additional estimated future FEMA costs of $50 billion. (The Washington Post’s Fact Checker wrote that the $50 billion was a high end estimate of what would need to be committed under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988.)

That means the $50 billion is speculative, said Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense.

So, Puerto Rico did not 'get' $91 billion.  They've (so far) gotten $11.2 billion. The only additional monies your Congress has committed to spending are a further $8.2 billion. 

 He's also wrong when he claimed that the spending on Puerto Rico is a record.  So far, Congress has spent (not merely allocated or promised) $120 billion on Katrina.

Have fun with that.

Now ironically enough watch him use a Pro Trump source to spin this in his favor

If his doing so can prove that $11.2 billion is more than $120 billion, I will happily concede the argument.
