Trump Family Welcomes Hundreds Of Linemen To Free Stay At Resort Before Hurricane Milton Response


The Trump Organization welcomed hundreds of linemen as they prepared to respond to the damage caused by Hurricane Milton.

“Honored to have 275 incredible linemen from FPL at @TrumpDoral as they get ready to respond to the aftermath of Hurricane #Milton! You are amazing and the Trump Family, and entire state of Florida, appreciates you! Enjoy the rooms – they are the best in Florida! Be safe!” Eric Trump wrote.

ABC 4 reports:

Milton, currently a Category 4 storm, is predicted to make landfall late Wednesday or Thursday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As many as 5.9 million people in Florida are under mandatory evacuation orders due to the storm, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Roughly 3.3 million residents were told to flee the Tampa, Fla., as the rain is expected to swell the city’s waterways causing mass flooding.

The latest storm, likely to be the worst to hit the Sunshine State’s west coast in more than a century, comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in the southeastern U.S.

Eric Trump’s post comes after the former president launched a GoFundMe page earlier this month for victims of Helene, which made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region late last month. The page has now raised more than $7 million.

“President Trump is reportedly putting up Hurricane Milton linemen readying to serve Florida’s hurricane victims for free at his Trump Doral resort in Miami This is America First,” Benny Johnson commented.

Trump has blasted the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.

“This is where your President, Vice President, and DHS Secretary were as Americans were drowning from Hurricane Helene & fleeing for their lives from Hurricane Milton,” Trump War Room wrote.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has faced massive criticism for alleged mismanagement of funds.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faced a new firestorm after a watchdog report disputed his claims that FEMA doesn’t have the funding to withstand the remainder of hurricane season.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have, we are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) does not have the funds to make it through the season,” Mayorkas previously said.
