Trump hotel in Florida uses hurricane to sell shrimp
Donald Trump’s hotel in Miami actually advertised its restaurant as the answer to “post-hurricane stress.” Trump National Doral tweeted that “great food” would help to alleviate the stress brought on by Hurricane Irma, and that “our restaurants are open to the public.” At least 56 people have died as a result of the storm, while […]
Trump National Doral tweeted that “great food” would help to alleviate the stress brought on by Hurricane Irma, and that “our restaurants are open to the public.”
At least 56 people have died as a result of the storm, while experts believe costs from the storm could be as high as $300 billion.

Trump continues to profit from activity at his Florida property because he refuses to divest from them or put them in a blind trust until his presidency is concluded.
His hotel trying to sell people shrimp as a way to cope with the aftermath of a devastating storm is right in line with Trump’s out-of-touch and abnormal presidency.
