Donald Trump threw paper towels at the victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

The President of the United States gave lanterns, packages of rice, but also threw paper towels at the victims of the devastating hurricane that hit the Island on September 20. This happened during a visit that Trump made to a church, which has served as a collection center in the town of Guaynabo. While making his delivery, the president looks very smiling. At least in the visuals, he doesn't seem to have taken the time to talk to these people and ask them about their current situation.

The president's action of launching the paper towel as if they were basketballs amazed many who have been able to see the visuals captured by the local, national and international press. The issue is a trending topic or topic on social media. The people's reaction to the action of the country's first president was immediate. The outrage of many Puerto Ricans inside and outside the Island has been felt on the networks. Ednita Nazario, Puerto Rican singer and writer, published a forceful message, with the elegance that always characterizes her, on her Facebook account, which reads: “My mom taught me that things don't go wrong. They are given in the hand. Ugly ugly ugly!.

The question that many people have asked is why Donald Trump visited Guaynabo, a town near San Juan, where the hurricane did affect some neighborhoods, but the area that took him could not witness first-hand the terrible destruction that this atmospheric phenomenon. Ricky Martin was in Loiza and Daddy Yankee in Toa Baja, towns where people need to rebuild their homes. In an interview on Rubén Sánchez's Opina ahora (WKAQ) program, the mayor of Guaynabo, Ángel Pérez Otero, indicated that the place was allegedly chosen by the Secret Service and White House staff.
