Rick Scott insists Trump is on top of the hurricane: He played golf yesterday and got updates
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/rick-scott-insists-trump-is-on-top-of-the-hurricane-he-played-golf-yesterday-and-got-updates/
President Donald Trump is monitoring Hurricane Dorian while he plays golf at Camp David, according to Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R), whose state is expected to be hit by the storm.
You were at Camp David, Fox News host Chris Wallace noted during an interview with Scott on Sunday. How involved is the president, how often is he getting updates?
We got updates while I was there, Scott said. He got updates, I know he played golf yesterday and got updates while he was playing golf.
The president has also tweeted about the storm, which could batter his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Gov. Rick Scott took responsibility? No, he took $300 million
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/fl-op-col-rick-scott-medicare-fraud-20181002-story.html
When the federal investigation of Rick Scotts former hospital company became public in 1997, the board of Columbia/HCA forced him out. Scott left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years.
What does Scott call that? Taking responsibility.
The governors new Senate campaign ad again seeks to rewrite the history of Columbia/HCA, which Scott founded in 1987 and led as CEO. Indeed, the ad is titled responsibility and compares Scotts actions to those of strong leaders.
In its settlement with the government, the company admitted to 14 felonies related to fraudulent billing and practices. Most happened under Scotts leadership

He will be running for president in 2024. T hat is the only reason he ran for the Senate. We cannot afford to let this asshole win that.

It's a longer flight from either Camp David or his Virginia golf course.
Trump obsesses over Mar-a-Lago during FEMA briefing even though hurricane has changed course
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/trump-obsesses-over-mar-a-lago-during-fema-briefing-even-though-hurricane-has-changed-course/
Let me just ask you, the president said, showing an unusual interest. Two days ago we were given a really comprehensive briefing and they seemed to think, almost every prediction was that [the storm] was going to go right through Florida and into the Gulf actually right across Florida.
Does that not have a chance of happening now? he asked. What do you think the chances that it goes directly straight as the original predictions were?
A FEMA official explained to Trump that thousands of parameters go into creating the hurricane prediction models, and he noted that the storm could make landfall anywhere from Florida to the Carolinas.
Even if its offshore, were trying to communicate there could be devastating impacts on the coast, the official said.
The explanation seemed to soothe the presidents concerns.
Thank you very much, he said.
