President Donald Trump throws paper towels to hurricane victims.

President Donald Trump shot paper towels into an audience filled with reporters and Hurricane Maria victims in Puerto Rico on Tuesday.

Shortly after telling victims to "have a good time," the president visited a chapel and tossed some supplies into the audience.

"There's a lot of love in this room," Trump said. "Great crowd."

Trump's actions lit up social media.

The president's actions during his visit to the island have raised eyebrows. 

In a meeting with officials, Trump said the number of people who died in the hurricane was far lower than a "real catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina, and noted Puerto Rico's budget shortfall. 

"I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack, because we've spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico," Trump said.
