President Trump takes part in the distribution of food and supplies at a church in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, on Oct. 3. (Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images)It has been more than a month since Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico. Surgery performed with cellphones as flashlights in Puerto Rico today.
