President Donald Trump again lashed out about the almost 3,000 deaths attributed to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year, questioning the science behind the count even as Hurricane Florence pummeled the Carolina coasts. Trump has repeatedly criticized Puerto Rico’s official death toll from Maria, which the territorial government dramatically increased to 2,975 in August after commissioning a study by George Washington University. In a pair of tweets late Friday, Trump first quoted a Washington Post story, which recounted that he had been told only 16 people had died in the storm when he visited the island last September, shortly after Maria made landfall.
