from The Washington Post,
8/30/19:

a former Canadian prime minister tweeted that she hoped Hurricane Dorian would strike President Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

Twitter users both vilified and defended Campbell for her original remark, with some interpreting it as sarcasm while others believed it was an unfair attack on the U.S. president.

“Campbell is known for having a tongue with a mind of its own, and thus far she has not tried to tame it,” The Washington Post’s Charles Truehart wrote in 1993 as Campbell sought the prime minister’s office. She currently chairs the advisory board that recommends Supreme Court appointees to the prime minister, currently Justin Trudeau.
