Looks like Magan's Bay at 2:00 one of the great beaches of the Caribbean

St. Thomas was always my favorite port on cruises-been there about 10 times

The tree will use the internal reserves of glucose to bud out new leaves. I've seen right in my own yard with gypsy moths. It weakens the tree, but if it can get the leaves out long enough (which shouldn't be an issue in the tropics) it can replace the lost energy.

Suck on that Robertson, Slannity, Huckleberry fuckers.
