As Hurricane Dorian is predicted to hit Florida by Labor Day, the former prime minister of Canada cheered the fact that President Trump’s golf resort at Mar-a-Lago appears to be in its path.

Kim Campbell, who served as the 19th Canadian prime minister for less than five months in 1993, tweeted that she is “rooting” for Trump’s favorite getaway destination to take a direct hit.

Campbell was not alone among Twitter users in hoping the hurricane hurts Trump in some way. Some claimed the hurricane’s trajectory is the result of Trump’s climate change denial, or that he canceled his trip to Poland out of fear for Mar-a-Lago’s well-being.

Trump announced Thursday that instead of visiting the European nation he will instead send Vice President Mike Pence while he monitors the storm and subsequent cleanup efforts.

“To ensure that all resources of the federal government are focused on the arriving storm, I have decided to send our Vice President Mike Pence to Poland this weekend in my place. It’s something very important for me to be here,” he said.

Dorian is expected to be a “major” Category 4 storm by Monday, with maximum sustained wind speeds reaching be 130 miles per hour by Sunday.
