Hurricane Irma just slammed into Trumps Caribbean estate

[marybourg]

— and is headed toward his Florida property.

A ferocious Hurricane Irma barreled early Wednesday morning across the Caribbean island of St. Martin, where President Trump owns a lavish waterfront estate, wrecking buildings, overturning cars and uprooting trees with punishing winds.

The status of Trump’s 11-bedroom gated compound on Plum Bay, which is on the market, was not immediately known. But officials with the French government, which controls the side of the island where his beachfront property is located, said the territory suffered serious damage.

A cluster of government buildings on the island was partially destroyed, and two-dozen government officials were forced to take shelter inside a concrete structure

12. Not worth the click effort

No picture of his storm damaged mansion. Also no info about storm damage to his mansion. Just that stronger buildings on the island were damaged, so it is implied that his mansion is damaged. It is basically click bait.

15. Hmmm. I'm always allowed to read for free at WaPo

for a long time before they ask me to log in if I have an account (I do), so I assume they have a certain # of free reads, like the NY Times does. No?

6. Probably already filing his insurance claim.

13. And I bet he doesn't get ripped off like the folks in Texas will.

14. His insurer will pay off fast rather than

deal with his army of lawyers. Then they will cover their loss by squeezing hundreds of poor and middle class storm victims who can't afford representation.

7. Was it a wonderful, beautiful slam?

and yes...the American taxpayer will pay, not to just repair any damage, but to
rebuild the whole damn thing.
