As of now, it’s been over 3 months since the storm devastated the island, and half the land is still without electricity, over 1 million people are still living in the dark, hundreds are bunkered down in shelters, and the health infrastructure remains crippled.

Of the 340 days President Trump has been in office, he has visited one of his company’s properties approximately one out of every three days he has been in office. Last count: 111 days he has done so. Because Trump did not divest from his businesses when he took office, he personally profits from these trips. He famously said he wouldn’t have time to golf because he’d be too busy running the country. And in his book, “Think Like a Billionaire,” he wrote: “Don’t take vacations. What’s the point? If you’re not enjoying your work, you’re in the wrong job.” Artist Jonathan Horowitz produced this hellish presidential portrait.
