Trump "not worried" about Mar-a-Lago (probably since taxpayers will foot the bill through the NFIP)

‘Mar-a-Lago is dead center’: Trump is concerned his club could be hit by ‘record-setting’ Hurricane Dorian



“How concerned are you about Mar-a-Lago being in the hurricane’s path?” a reporter asked.

“You know, I haven’t even thought about it until the question was just broached a little while ago. Yeah, it would look like Mar-a-Lago is dead center,” Trump said, gesturing with his right hand.

“Mar-a-Lago can handle itself. It’s a very powerful place,” Trump argued.

“The thing I’m worried about is the state of Florida. Because this hurricane is looking like — this could be a record-setting hurricane. Maybe things change,” Trump added.

If Mar-a-Lago is damaged, taxpayers could be on the hook as the club is reported covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

If his place is destroyed by Dorian, it will be irony on steroids and his evangelical goons will be lost for words.

Particularly how they usually have some asinine unscientific explanation for why other places get hit by mother nature.

to get scared. This is a slow moving storm so it can sit and the winds and rain could hang on for days. A cat 4 now. We still do not know where it will hit.

Not for a long time. I am hoping storm surge floods the place and makes it uninhabitable for months or even until Nov 2020.

Didn't he make it clear from the start that he hated Camp David and would never go there? He's such a chickenshit coward that now he'll go there when his trashy Mar a Loco might get hit.

is limited coverage -- 250K for residential and 500K for commercial. He probably has a policy through Lloyds fro the remaining amount.

and the land remains covered with water and becomes a part of the bay or a lake, will his flood insurance pay off?
