On September 20, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. Their whole island was submerged with water. Half the country didn't have electricity or running water. Any other president would be there to help within a day or two but, Donald Trump was there October, 4, 14 days after the hurricane. And, when he got there, he didn't help them much. He through people rolls of paper tolls!
""I would not have done that," said Jenniffer González, Puerto Rico's lone nonvoting representative in the U.S. House, about Trump's paper-towel-throwing gesture. Speaking Wednesday morning in an interview with Radio Isla, the pro-statehood official said everyone has a different way of "conducting oneself." She then said that the focus has to be on getting adequate funds for recovery, and ensuring that airports and ports are functioning."-www.nbcnews.com
Instead of throwing paper towels at them, he should have been trying to help their country rebuild and get back on track. After he did this, he "told reporters all he got was "thank yous" after his visit to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico on Tuesday."
All other presidents actually helped and comforted the victims of a hurricane. Donald Trump did not.
