The time of the president and vice president are valuable, and what they do and where they go reflect the things that are important to them. You can always scrounge up more money; you can't create more time. And Trump's visit to Puerto Rico last week lasted only a few more hours than Pence's trip to Indianapolis. Of the 520-odd cumulative days that Trump and Pence have been in power, one was spent traveling to Puerto Rico and one was spent going to Indianapolis. Time is spent in other ways, too: As we've noted before, the president has spent a lot more of his time tweeting about the NFL than he has the devastation of Hurricane Maria.
