Will the Madman delay tonight's festivities in light of the hurricane? Doubtful.

When Hurricane Michael hit the Florida Panhandle two years ago, Trump had one of his rallies scheduled almost simultaneous to when the storm was making landfall.

He did little more than shrug it off and insisted the show must go on, even as Michael cut a hellacious swath from Florida to Georgia as he spoke.

asked to bring things that make noise. Drown out the idiot’s ramblings. Wish I could be there.

so he won't acknowledge it. Why would he care, as long as it doesn't hit his gaudy palace in Florida.
