Former President Donald Trump has once again put his money where his mouth is by opening the doors of his luxurious Trump National Doral Miami resort to host around 275 brave linemen who will be working tirelessly to restore power after the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Milton. While the storm—strong enough to be boasting a Category 4 status—might disrupt the lives of many across Florida, the Doral is safe from the worst of the weather, making it an ideal refuge for those on the front lines of recovery.
This generous gesture from the Trump family has been celebrated as yet another example of their commitment to supporting hardworking Americans. Karoline Leavitt, serving as the national press secretary for the Trump campaign, touted the compassion demonstrated by the Trump family toward these essential workers. It’s not every day that a former president opens up his resort to ensure that those risking their lives to restore power have a comfortable place to recharge—both literally and figuratively.

As Hurricane Milton churns its way towards Florida, roughly 50 counties are currently under mandatory evacuation orders, according to reports. The state is no stranger to hurricanes, having recently been battered by Hurricane Helene as well. The ongoing weather turmoil has left citizens scrambling for safety while the linemen are scrambling to restore normalcy. With tens of thousands of electrical workers pouring into the state from across the nation, Trump’s Doral resort stands ready to accommodate them and provide a crucial base for recovery efforts.
While Trump steps up to help out in times of crisis, some in the political realm can’t resist the urge to stir the pot. Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, hinting that he’s engaging in some kind of “political games” by dodging calls regarding the hurricane relief efforts. Never mind that President Biden has been in contact with DeSantis; it almost seems like some politicians would rather undermine local leaders than unite in the face of a disaster.
All of this unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly changing political landscape, where Trump’s actions might very well solidify his support among conservative voters. As the linemen get ready to tackle the heavy lifting of recovery, it seems that the community spirit and commitment to assistance still burn brightly, bolstered by the sumptuous surroundings of a Trump resort. While governors play political chess in the wake of natural disasters, the Trump team showcases what genuine support looks like when it’s needed most.
