  1. ‘You either help or turn your head’: Florida residents facing Irma demand Trump open Mar-a-Lago as a shelter

    Millions fled Florida at the end of this week, fearing they wouldn’t survive the powerful hurricane predicted to bring storm surges from six to 15 feet. But those that stayed, either due to financial restrictions or out of sheer gumption, are telling President Donald Trump he should open up his private club as a shelter.

    Thousands who stayed behind to face Hurricane Irma are flooding into shelters, and according to The News-Press, some county shelters are already full. That’s why many in South Florida are wondering why the president isn’t stepping in to help, The Independent reported Saturday.

    “Of course he should” Florida resident Rick Castillo said about Trump opening Mar-a-Lago.

    Filmmaker Michael Moore asked the question Friday, but some Floridians are wondering, as the wind and rains grow stronger, if the president will help.

    “He should be doing anything to help the public,” Castillo said of Trump. “When people need help, you either help or you turn your head. I think Trump is turning his head.”

    Another Floridian was in tears while sitting in a courtyard outside of a school. She was given food and two phone numbers for shelters she can go to. Neither number had anyone answering the phone.

    “I have nowhere to go,” Little said. She came to Florida on vacation, but now is stranded. “I’m not even from here.”

    Luckily The Independent was able to find a Red Cross volunteer who could help her.

    Unlike Joel Olsteen who didn't want evacuees in his church but caved to public pressure, Trump wont budge.Bodies will be lined up outside Mar-a-Lago before piece of shit Trump lets them in.

    Yeah, yeah right. While we are at it why don't we demand that every celebrity and wealthy person open their Florida homes as shelters. I don't see a single entertainment celebrity who is demanding that Trump open Mar-a-Lago opening their open personal homes to be looted by a mob.

    Racist Tony, what have you ever done to help people? Why haven't you ridiculed rich democrats for not opening their homes in Houston, Florida, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, etc., after storms. The answer is that you don't care about these people in need. You only care about making a cheap political post. Never let a crisis go to waste is the motto you live by. You are a POS.
     


  7. Feel free to demand as much as you want to.

    Likewise.... feel free to demand all you want that Trump open Mar-a-Lago as a shelter in posts ignoring wealthy liberal celebrities who don't open their own homes as shelters.

    7 million evacuated. There will always be people that ignore evac warnings, and there will also always be dumb ass people who take a natural disaster and try to make it political. Like you, for instance.
