Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

So is trump at Mar a Lego right now standing proudly on the front lawn for this? Is he staying there, "standing his ground" against the "climate hoax"?

Or is he hiding somewhere else safe, with an excuse, like a coward who's actually afraid of climate change?

'Just turn the green energy wind turbines around and blow the hurricane away, or just shoot at it! '

Trump: "Just nuke it!"

Climate change is the biggest existential threat we face. One fan be afraid of hurricanes and also be dumb enough to not believe in climate change.

These are two equally obvious statements. The latter probably even more so.

There's no need to try and out stupid them.
