In a display of goodwill that only the Trump family seems capable of conjuring, former President Donald Trump came to the rescue during a stormy time in Florida. Ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall, the Trump National Doral in Miami opened its doors — and its luxury suites — to a whopping 275 linemen from the Florida Power & Light Company, providing them with complimentary lodging. It’s always refreshing to see a former president actively supporting those who keep the lights on, literally.
Eric Trump, always a proud supporter of his father’s charitable efforts, took to social media to share a snapshot of these hardworking linemen. He expressed gratitude for their efforts, heralding them as “incredible” and reinforcing that the entire state of Florida appreciates their lifesaving endeavors. It’s hard to imagine other political families showing similar enthusiasm and respect for essential workers, especially amidst a hurricane scare where drama typically reigns supreme.

As the storm threatens to wreak havoc on the Sunshine State, Governor Ron DeSantis, a true leader in times of crisis, mobilized over 50,000 linemen to be ready to tackle the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. This strategic move signals a no-nonsense approach to disaster management. While some states continue to languish in recovery, Florida is stepping up to ensure that its citizens are safe and powered up — a noteworthy feat and a testament to the proactive leadership in the state.
The Trump National Doral isn’t just a palm tree paradise; it’s a luxury resort with room rates that could either entice or astound, ranging from $251 to a jaw-dropping $8,251 per night. With a complete roster of lavish accommodations and amenities that scream “vacation vibes,” it is fitting that a portion of this estate was set aside for those who are about to brave nasty winds and torrential rains. This type of generosity seems to starkly contrast with the typical political narrative of elitism, painting the Trump family in a different light entirely.
While the state prepares for potential power outages, the community spirit shines through, and a father thanked Trump for providing housing to his lineman son during this trying time. Such appreciation highlights that in moments of crisis, it’s often the natural leaders and everyday heroes who make a difference. Florida is ramping up for the storm, and with the support from both the Trump family and DeSantis, residents can take solace in knowing they have a strong safety net to catch them when the winds start howling.
