Can Trump Supporters Seek Shelter from Hurricane Milton at Mar-a-Lago?

With Hurricane Milton barreling its way toward Florida's Gulf Coast as a catastrophic storm, more than 5 million residents along the coast have been urged to evacuate their homes for their safety.

"You're going to die," Tampa Mayor Jane Castor warned residents who might ignore evacuation orders.

As residents flee en masse, loyal supporters of former president Donald Trump are said to have the opportunity to shack up at none other than Trump's Mar-a-Lago Country Club in West Palm Beach.

All they need to do is don their red "Make America Great Again" hat and show up at the MAGA haven, people say. No $1 million initiation fee necessary! (Democrats aren't welcome.)

"I read that Trump has opened the doors at Mar-a-Lago for a place for MAGAs to take shelter. Pass it on," a user wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Another X user said the offer extends to other Trump properties as well.

"BREAKING: Trump offers free lodging at any of his time-shares (including Mar-a-Lago) to all displaced Trumpers as Milton approaches," the person claimed. "Note: Let's see how Trump likes it when misinformation flows his way for a change."

Hmmmm.

Trump is also looking out for Florida ranchers, who are invited to board their livestock on his golf courses. The properties are also reportedly open for camper and RV storage.

"Due to Ron DeSantis’ failure to prepare for Hurricane Milton, @realDonaldTrump has opened ALL his golf courses, including Mar-a-lago, to corral and safeguard any Trump supporter’s livestock that needs to be evacuated from the hurricane’s path," another user said. "He’s also providing free hay and feed!"

When New Times called Trump National Doral and asked whether the hotel is opening its doors to Trump supporters, a representative said the hotel is fully booked.

"We have nowhere to put you," the employee said.

Unfortunately, no one picked up the phone at Mar-a-Lago.

While the former president might not be accommodating evacuating supporters, one X user posted a photo they claimed were electrical linemen bunking gratis at Trump Doral.

"President Trump is giving free rooms at Trump Doral hotel to the lineman getting ready to help the people of Florida during the Hurricane," the post reads. "The people's President."
