As the hurricane hit Florida, Trump refused to follow an evacuation order.
Trump ignored an evacuation order for Mar-a-Lago, instead raging about the midterms and posting attacks on Ron DeSantis
Former President Donald Trump refused to evacuate Mar-a-Lago as Hurricane Nicole approached the Florida coast, and spent the day venting about the disappointment of candidates he'd backed in the midterm elections, according to reports.
The hurricane made landfall on Florida's east coast early Thursday, after state authorities had earlier issued evacuation orders in areas that included Trump's Palm Beach resort, which lies about a quarter of a mile from the coastline.
The Associated Press said that when a reporter called Wednesday to ask if the resort was being evacuated, a Mar-a-Lago security office worker hung up, and there were were no signs the order was being complied with.
Insider has contacted a representative for Trump for comment
Mar-a-Lago is just slightly above sea level and is a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean. If a major hurricane like Ian, Michael, or Andrew hit Palm Beach then Mar-a-Lago would be toast. The last we’d see of Trump is of him clutching his Sharpie as he’s swept out to sea.
