As tropical storm Harvey batters its way through Texas, flooding the Gulf Coast at unprecedented levels, it might be interesting to look at President Donald Trumps own relationship with hurricanes, or the lack thereof.
In October, The Associated Press reported that the then-candidate claimed to have taken $17 million in insurance money for storm damage to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Landscaping, roofing, walls, painting, leaks, artwork in the you know, the great tapestries, tiles, Spanish tiles, the beach, the erosion, he said in a 2007 deposition. Its still not what it was.
That was news to other locals and former Trump employees. Former butler Anthony Senecal told the AP that only some nearby trees were flattened and some roof titles were knocked off. He claimed to be there for the series of storms, from 2004 to 2005, that supposedly caused such expensive damage to the resort. (Trump disavowed Senecal in an unrelated May 2016 Facebook post because the former butler called for the assassination of Barack Obama. The then-candidate said he fired him in 2009.)
