Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell 'rooting' for Hurricane Dorian to hit Trump's Mar-a-Lago

wASHINGTON – A former Canadian prime minister said she's "rooting" for Hurricane Dorian to directly hit President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club on Florida's coast.

Kim Campbell, Canada's first and only female prime minister, wrote on Twitter Wednesday: "I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!"

Campbell on Thursday continued to tweet about the storm and how it is appears to be heading toward Mar-a-Lago.

"Well, we will see if Mrs. Post’s design can stand up to the assault!" she wrote in a tweet, referencing the cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built Mar-a-Lago. "I know Palm Beach well and am sorry if it gets a big hit.

"I wish I [could] believe that it [would] shake up Trump’s climate change denial! Only today his admin has removed [regulations] to limit methane- a worse GHG than CO2!" she continued in a tweet.
