Eric Trump didn’t take a former Canadian prime minister’s hopes of Hurricane Dorian barreling down on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort lightly.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell tweeted Wednesday that she was “rooting for a direct hit” on the infamous Trump property in Palm Beach, Florida.

Campbell defended her tweet the next day by saying it was “snark” and that Trump should tackle climate change.

Two days after Campbell’s initial tweet, Eric Trump responded by tweeting that the Trump family is “rooting for the safety” of people and businesses in Florida.

Dorian is forecasted to make landfall Monday somewhere between southern Georgia and the Florida Keys.

Trump announced during a press conference Thursday that he is canceling his trip to Poland this weekend as Dorian approaches Florida.

Campbell has become known for her jabs at Trump, which include calling him a “motherfucker” and a “sexual predator.” Campbell’s short-lived tenure as Canada’s first female prime minister in 1993 lasted only four months.

  1. Well, it is going to hit somewhere and do a lot of damage. If it hits MaraLardo, that is just making the best out of a bad situation.

  2. Oh, yeah! I’ll bet Ms. Campbell is shaking in her boots!

    What happened to the fabled Trump “sense of humor”? Or is it only a “joke” if Trump is promising pardons for government employees who violate the law?

  4. I must be a horrible person… I am also rooting for a direct hit on Mar-a-Lago, I mean the hurricane has to hit somewhere. I’ll also be fine if it hits the Doral, see if that get rid of the bedbugs. The Trump national in Jupiter would be Ok too.

    Anyway if one the Trump properties gets hit, he will order the DoD or DHS to redirect 5 billion dollars for it’s reconstruction and some Federalist Society Federal Judge will agree that it’s all legal because Congress has no standing.

  5. I can assure Beavis Campbell isn’t the only one.

    In fact, some of us are putting up billboards in hopes of a two-fer.
