Avalon - During the Trump administration, events in Puerto Rico placed the island in further turmoil. In 2017, a catastrophic hurricane struck the island, leading to deaths and tremendous devastation in Puerto Rico. After Hurricane Maria, Trump considered the idea of selling Puerto Rico.

And during a visit to Puerto Rico, Trump faced backlash when he tossed paper towels at a crowd in need of supplies.
