Tremendously Underwhelming Sinkhole Opens In Front Of Mar-A-Lago
Everyone knows it’s good to have someone keep an eye on your home when you leave town on a business trip or vacation.
With that in mind, someone should probably call President Donald Trump to let him know that a small sinkhole opened up directly in front of his Mar-a-Lago residence during his travels in the Middle East.
The town of Palm Beach, Florida, shared the following alert from its website:
Local CBS affiliate WPEC reported that the small sinkhole caused traffic delays in the area.
The network also shared a photo from the scene:

4-by-4 feet is pretty small to merit much internet sinkhole hysteria, but that didn’t stop folks on Twitter for chiming in on a situation ripe for comedy. People would really like to know if there is any connection to the glowing orb Trump touched in Saudi Arabia.
Here are a few favorite tweets:

@townpalmbeach @Fahrenthold But it is a beautiful sinkhole. The best sink hole in history. A model sinkhole for all future sinkholes.

I thought the "dying elephant kills game hunter" was the karma story of the day. But then a sinkhole opened next to the Mar-a-Lago Club.
