Donald Trump is the President of the United States and has had a controversial relationship with Puerto Rico. He is not the president of Puerto Rico itself, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory governed locally by its own elected officials. Trump's administration faced criticism for how it handled aid to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017 and for removing members of the Puerto Rico financial oversight board without proper justification, which a federal judge recently ruled against. Trump has claimed to have done more for Puerto Rico than any other president, though this has been disputed given the administration's delays and controversies regarding aid. Puerto Ricans, while U.S. citizens, do not vote in U.S. presidential elections unless they reside in a U.S. state. Trump's political engagement with Puerto Rico mainly relates to federal oversight and aid issues rather than direct governance of the territory.
In summary, Donald Trump is not the president of Puerto Rico; he is the U.S. president involved in federal decisions affecting the territory. Puerto Rico has its own local government and leadership separate from the U.S. presidency.
