From day one, the Trump administration’s response to the devastation in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands has proved to be insufficient. Hurricane Maria caused 16 deaths and left 3.5 million people without clean water. A majority of the island remains in the dark. Trump visited the island after heavy criticism of San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and a harsh rebuke of Puerto Rico’s budget. A bevy of celebrities had enough and gathered their resources to aid the victims devastated by Hurricane Maria.
