Florida residents facing Irma demand Trump open Mar-a-Lago as a shelter [View all]
Florida residents facing Irma demand Trump open Mar-a-Lago as a shelter
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/you-either-help-or-turn-your-head-florida-residents-facing-irma-demand-trump-open-mar-a-lago-as-a-shelter/
illions 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.
“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.”
