NBC says Irma 'locked and loaded' to destroy Trump properties — then Twitter unloads on them

NBC News came under fire on social media on Saturday after making an unsavory observation about Hurricane Irma's path and properties in Florida that belong to President Donald Trump.

The tweet

"Irma locked and loaded towards several Trump properties," the tweet read, linking to an NBC news story.

The story notes that three of Trump's 12 golf courses in the United States are located in the path of Irma. In addition, the story states that Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach is also located in the hurricane's path.

According to the story, the three properties have been closed, while guests staying at the Trump National Doral have been encouraged to make reservations elsewhere.

More from the story:

Several other Trump Organization properties could also be tested by a diminished Irma if it turns north once it reaches Florida, as several computer models predict. Then it might lash the Trump National Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina; and the 1,300 acre Trump Winery in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Backlash

Given that millions of lives are in the path of the very dangerous category 4 hurricane, many on social media found it repulsive that NBC chose to publish such a seemingly politicized tweet and story.
