Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell said Thursday that she wished for Hurricane Dorian to make a “direct hit” on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
The strengthening storm churned over the warm, open waters of the Atlantic on Thursday, upgrading to Category 2 strength late in the day, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, the National Hurricane Center reported.
Forecasts showed Dorian tracking toward Florida’s east coast — prompting Trump to warn Dorian “will be BIG!”
Forecasters believe the storm will strengthen into a Category 3 hurricane by Friday, and stay well east of the southern and central Bahamas before making a turn toward Florida by Sunday afternoon.
At that time, the latest NHC forecast is for the storm to make landfall Monday as a Category 4 storm.
However, Campbell saw a silver lining in the potential damage that could be caused by the massive storm.
“I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!” she tweeted on Thursday.
The president often makes visits to Mar-a-Lago when he’s not in Washington D.C. It has been reported that the resort is on the hurricane’s path.
Campbell, who served less than five months as Canada’s prime minister following the resignation of Brian Mulroney in 1993, faced backlash for the tweet, many calling it “embarrassing” and “disgusting.”
What happened to the honourable Kim Campbell? This is the ravings of a very unstable individual. So sad what she has become.

This crazy woman – former PM Kim Campbell is a senior aide to Justin Trudeau, in charge of Supreme Court appointments in Canada!
Is it any wonder why our justice system is going down the toilet???
May God grant her wish to come true upon her own family and herself!!!

Campbell doubled down amid the criticism, telling her critics to “get a grip.”
“As there are in Puerto Rico- sorry you don’t get snark- but Trump’s indifference to suffering is intolerable!” Campbell said to a critic who pointed out “real people” live and work in and around Mar-a-Lago. “We’d also help if he tackled climate change which is making hurricanes more destructive! Instead, he will remove limits on methane! Get a grip!”

Liberals live in a bubble of same speak virtue signalers .
Campbell is likely just so used to trash talking Trump with her earth muffin friends it must shock her that so many Canadians respect and honour our best friends . Shut up Campbell you are a f!@#ing idiot .

KC , unelected PM of Canada, biggest loser ever . She resurfaces with a puerile tweet. Ignominy is hers, for life.
Hi Kim, I was born in the same hospital as you 141 days later.
When we were kids we would have received severe discipline
for wishing tragedy on others. Too bad you didn’t learn back then.
When are you going to grow up?
Not hanging out with Justin Trudeau would be a good place to start.
Was she drunk ? She sure as hell won’t be blown over by any hurricane .
A lot of great people in Florida and they don’t need stupid failed politicians
shooting their mouth off .
I’m with Kim on this one … let the ‘Lord’ work in mysterious ways.
